1969 Dodge Charger RT Restoration

This was my first real test drive. It drove nice, but drove much better after an alignment. This was before the first wash or dry clean.

This past weekend we even attended our first car show after a quick dry clean. Still a little adjusting and fine tuning to do. The brakes also leak due to a short brake line flange in the master cylinder. Once those are taken car of all that will be left is a final wet sand, buff, and polish.

Thank you @Nxcoupe. I did get it figured out. The factory default for the fans to come on was set to about what my operating temp was. For some reason when it came on it killed the system and the car would die or not restart. The car would get warmer the first few minutes it sat and would hit that temp so it would not start. It took me awhile to figure out what was causing it because it didn't happen much even during break in. I just set the temps higher so it would not come on and it has ran perfect since. I do not have electric fans so the wires for it are just terminated.

I do not know why that would kill the engine. If you have ideas on that or how I could or should do some light tuning I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. It is all at defaults and seems to be running great. Thanks for any advice you can provide!

If you email a copy of your tune to me, I can look it over and get back with you. I'll PM my addy to you.
