    Help! Need help ID-ing these seat.

    I found these seats and was thinking of using for my 1971 Dodge Charger. The guy is not sure what they came out of. Does anyone recognize them? I guess I will need seat tracks as they are missing. Thanks, Drew ~ Fort Worth, TX

    Anyone successfully rebuilt hood hinges?

    Has anyone successfully rebuilt hood hinges? My 1971 Charger are sloppy at the pivot points and it sits funny. When I open the hood all the way, I can push the hood open further seeing slop in the connections or wallowed out at the pivot points on both sides. I'm pretty sure this is wear and...

    Killer $75 new ignition system...GM module. I already hear the screams!

    Tired of my ignition problems on my 1971 Charger, I decided to make my own using a GM module (I already hear the screams) and an E-core type coil and some bracket fabrication. To install: mount the collar to the distributor, connect the distributor plug, one wire each to the + and – coil...

    8 3/4 Axle 276 open carrier...what's next? What gears are you running?

    I purchased a 8 3/4 (742) axle 276 open carrier from a 68 Chrysler 300 axle (same dimensions as the C-body at 61-3/4″) for $180. My 1971 Charger is 63 from drum to drum and I have about an inch of clearance between the tires and the leaf springs. It's really close, so I may have to get a spring...

    Replaced leaky oil pan...no oil pressure. Prime?

    I just replaced my oil pan gasket on my 1971 318, which was running great last week except for having the leak. I removed the center link, tie rods, etc. and replaced the gasket and filled with oil. I did not touch the oil pump and there was a windage pan-tray installed by the previous owner...

    1971 318 oil pan gasket... do I need to lift the motor?

    Sorry if this is an idiot question, but I'm new to mopar and didnt see a thread on this. Can I remove the oil pan from my 1971 Dodge Charger without lifting the motor? I'm X-Chevy and always had to lift the motor to remove the pan...to clear the crank and pickup. Thanks, Drew

    No brake lights...turn signal switch in column. Anyone bypass it?

    I have no brake lights on my 71 Charger. I have power on both sides of the brake like switch, and all connections appear to be fine. I'm pretty sure its the switch in the column, which I understand is common. I really don't want change it, as all the replacement ones (see pic) look like junk...

    What do you do for theft deterrent?

    I'm curious what you guys do for theft deterrent. I guess you could say I'm a bit paranoid, but for good reason as these are pretty easy cars to steal. Most stolen here in Texas go south of the border. I have an Earl's fuel line shut off valve, battery disconnect hidden in the wheel well, and...

    Why is it so hard to find quality cool aftermarket gauges?

    I can't believe I'm having such a hard time deciding on aftermarket gauges. Everything looks so cheap plastic junk. I have an Autometer tach that I bought impulsively, but it looks so cheap I refuse to install it- tossed it in the trash. BTW, who needs a tach going to 8,000 and 10,000 rpms...

    Convert to GM ignition.

    I made my ignition system based on HotRod Magazine's article and sold on solid performance of the GM module. I mounted it in a box and made the wiring harness, one wire to the + coil, one to the - and plug to OEM Chysler distributor lead. I also fabricated a custom mount for the E-core coil to...

    1971 Charger 318...installing headers, need some advice.

    Hello, I'm a bit new to the Mopar world. I have a 1971 Charger and want to replace my rusty old headers. Do you typically have to lift the motor a bit to do this? I currently have the power steering gearbox, lower control arms, torsion bars all removed. Will the driver's side come right out...
