My 69 charger

Well guys things didn't quite work out with the headers so l order a set from Hedman and except for having to drop the idler arm and raising the engine just a little they slid rite in. Next is to get the manifold in and a few other things and l'll be starting her up for the first time after overhauling the engine.

Okay guys l'm having a heck of a time getting the starter and header on. Any tips would help jacked the engine up dropped the kickdown piviot arm and shaft off. Next l will try to drop piviot arm off the drag link. And hopefully that will get me closer. But still think it will be a guber especially doing it by myself.

One gremlin was not getting fuel to the fuel pump. Put some air to the tank and got fuel to the fuel pump. Next a couple header bolts leaked coolent. Pulled them and put sealant on bolts. See what happens tomorrow

Okay l got a question for some of you old timers cause this old timer doesn't remember. Did some of the 69 chargers come off the line without self adjusters for the rear brakes. Mine didn't have any but with the last owner l've found quite a few things that weren't quire rite. Just like the brake light switch. Mine also activates or deactivates the cruse control also and can't find a new one for my car and l've tried a few venders with no luck.

Your car looks great in that color! I did my 71 Challenger convertible in the same color. It looks almost day glow at dusk.
