What did you do to your Mopar today?

[70 sublime]

Well it was my first time ever sitting a car down over top of an engine
Took some figuring out to get things in the right spot and still be able to reach the car with the engine crane but it worked out

 

[Richard Cranium]

Piece of cake! I've been installing engines that way since the early 80's. Many don't realize this, but a 440 with factory manifolds is just as wide as a Hemi.

Clutch fork arrived today , will install and hopefully all measurements are correct for clutch rod…

 

[Beep!Beep!]

Delivered my front and rear window glass and just saw my car with paint for the first time!

I finished wiring the momentary switch for the electric fuel pump. It was a challenge getting the switch into the existing hole in the dash because the main wiring loom to the fuse panel was right above it. Turned out pretty well.

Jyst got her out of the garage

 

[Triplegreen500]

No photos of them outside but, got the garage rearranged for spring. That meant:

Moved the Grand Cherokee out of the way

Moved the zero turn out of the way

Fired up the Charger (started right up thanks to SeaFoam and a NoCo battery tender!) And un-parallel-parked it from the back wall and moved it outside

Moved my Daytona outside (took it to Lowes too, to get hooks for hanging jeep doors)

...at this point Michelle asked "what is this, a car show?

Took the hardtop off the wrangler and stored it in the trailer for now (trailers for sale...see classifieds)

Hung the doors up on the new hooks

Swept the garage

Parked everything.

It all fits! Granted, the Charger rear bumper is against a pad on the wall and the jeep spare is touching the front bumper to make it all fit, but...that's the joy of a driver/survivor as opposed to a restored show car!

Oh yeah, and I staged the bikes so I can get them out when it's nice enough to ride to work, without having to move a car first.

Quiet day.

Cleaned the 8 3/4 housing and then opened it up to find some 3.23 gears inside which was a nice surprise since that is what I want.

Deju vu..

Prepping for my own little version of "Vanishing Point" having just purchased this:

No Reserve: 822-Mile 2014 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6-Speed

I am plotting my route:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Ced...02f4251:0x55ee60432ce6ddc0!2m2!1d-91.6656232…

There will be no bulldozers at the finish.

My Charger R/T will now have a more modern, minimally optioned stable mate.

 

[Triplegreen500]

Alignment time.

Rebuilt the front end over the winter. Eyeball-and-string to get it to the shop, so a buddy can do it right.

No bulldozers perhaps, but you haven’t reached the vanishing point yet.

Got out the wax….

Meguir's 22, already cued up.

 

[Pops1967GTX]

 

[Triplegreen500]

Alignment, check. Front ride height, check.

Slow cruise home through the country, check.

DAMN, this car rides nice!

I do need to figure out the turn signals though, they flash fast. Like 2x per second. Any suggestions for a proper flasher? All incandescent exterior bulbs, no LEDs...

 

[YY1]

Are all the bulbs OK?

IIRC fast flash and no flash can mean a bulb is not working.

One means the front, the other means rear.

 

[Triplegreen500]

yep, all work. Front valence, hood indicators, and 2 per side in the rear. no side markers flash (by design, if I recall correctly).

 

[YY1]

can you swap out the "flasher flasher" for the "turn signal flasher"?

 

[Triplegreen500]

Not sure. They're both fast though, hazards and turns. No idea what the PO did to it (there's wire nuts on the harness under the hood!).

Which reminds me, I need to find and install my new underhood harnesses....
