Hello -
Just recently picked up a '68 Charger (R/T clone) from a forum member here and relocated it to Cincinnati. This is the car I've wanted since as long as I can remember, and was finally able to make it happen.
Seems to be a fairly fresh 440 w/ 3-spd manual valve body w/ floor shifter.
While I've done most basic maintenance on my other vehicles, I'm completely new to Mopars (and older cars in general). My plan is to modernize the brakes, suspension and steering, and restore the interior over time. It's surprisingly rust free, but will need new floor pans at some point.
I already knew it will need some refreshing (starter, p/s gearbox, charging system), but now I suspect something is out of whack in the motor. Runs rougher than I think it should and it's particularly noisy on the passenger side. I'll get a thread up in the appropriate forum once I have a bit more info to share.
I'm usually pretty comfortable digging in and learning as I go. I've already learned tons from the forum, but would really love to find a local shop with some expertise to help me diagnose any motor issues before it turns into something worse. Any pointers to a local shop or expert would be greatly appreciated!
