Hi Guys...1972 Dodge Charger. I have to pull the drive shaft to replace U joints. I'm pretty sure I understand how to do it, but what is the round thing in the pics? Looks like it's attached to a plate that bolts up to the car. Do I need to do anything with this thing? Thankls in advance....

I'm getting old and can't remember what grade of oil I should put it for the summer.. 10w bla bla... The engine is a basically stock 72 hydraulic flat tappet 318 freshly rebuilt last year with some performance goodies. I think I used conventional after the break-in with some zinc additive. It's...

How do I check the fluid in the rear end (and/or replace fluid)? I don't see a plug or anything. 1972 Charger, 8-1/4

72 Satellite Plus has not run in years. Trying to rotate engine to see if it will free up. But, cannot locate the crank bolt. Is it not accessible through the front pulley? It's a 3 groove pully on an AC car, but can't understand how to put a socket on the crank to try and turn engine... see pic.

I just rebuilt my 1972 318 and it runs good and I have a couple thousand miles on it now. During some tuning, I decided to do a compression test on all cylinders. Although all cylinders were even pressure, the numbers were only 127ish pounds. I would have thought a fresh engine would be about...

Background... Freshly rebuilt 318. About 2500 miles on it now - went to Carlisle and Nats in it. No issues. Swapped from 20 year old Holley 4160 to a new Edelbrock AVS2 carb. Worked great, had an issue adjusting choke/fast idle at first, but found problem. Everything good for a few days. But...

1972 Dodge 318 new rebuild. The original HB is 7.25" OD and the new one is 7.1" OD. Would this not affect the relationship to the timing marks on the timing cover? I know the groove on the HB is correct TDC at the -0- mark. I timed it by ear at first and seems to run well. It...

I am rebuilding my '72 318 and the Federal Mogul gasket kit had these in them. I can't figure out what they are for... can you? thanks in advance

I'm putting '85 302 heads on my 72 318. I'm using the original 72 rocker shafts and rockers. Can I use the original push rods?

Got my 318 back from the machine shop where they installed new cam bearings. I noticed the center oil hole looks not lined up. Do you think it will be OK?

I am tearing down the 318 in the 72 Charger - Original engine, but I want to see if I can tell if it's ever been apart. I don't think it has, but don't know for sure. There was an aftermarket intake and carb, but all else looks original from the outside. Pulled lifters. Do they look original...

Hi all, I have a 72 Charger 318/904 original car. The 318 has been upgraded to a 4bbl with aftermarket Edelbrock 318-360 performer intake with Holley 4bbl carb. It has the stock exhaust manifolds, but going to dual exhaust. The 318 is worn out and I am thinking of swapping to a 360. I was...

Hi all, I have noticed recently that oil leaks have developed around the cap and breather on the pass. side valve cover. Also seems to be coming out at the carb where the pcv line connects. Pcv valve is good (I changed it anyway, albeit with parts store quality). It's a high-mileage engine with...

I have a 72 Charger with its original 318 and 904 and about 120K miles on it. I bought the car which is an older restoration, maybe 20 years with a color change. Supposedly the engine and trans has never been rebuilt. I suspect this is true as the engine compression is around 125 and I had to...
