My Dad isn't mechanically inclined but my grandfather on my Mom's side was a machinist before he retired the first time, then worked as handyman/superintendent of some commercial buildings. He was fearless when it came to fixing anything. Electrical, plumbing, construction... he would take on...

Just relatively small stuff for me. I threw a belt or three before I got the pulley alignment dialed in. Burned up a power steering pump, which wouldn't have been a big deal except I lost brakes (hydroboost) at a very inconvenient time. Luckily no major damage, just a bit of curb rash. Oh, I...

Troy, the owner/admin, is a one-man show. DC.com is ad-free, so the site is paid for and maintained out of his pocket, and I don't know how many other admins are active these days. Troy is local to me, and we met up not long after I got my Charger. He seems a good guy, but I'm sure has a...

Just checking in. :) How's my favorite Swedish Charger doing?

Looks like there was a site upgrade last month that caused problems for some users. There's a note on the forum that asks people to reach out to [email protected] with any issues.

I can drop the admin a note to investigate, is your username the same over there?

Thanks all, I decided to go with the progression unit. Will report back once I have some time to tinker with it. :thumbsup:

I watch about 1 football game per year and it's usually the Super Bowl. First half was kind of a snore-fest, but the 2nd half was pretty thrilling. Mahomes made some incredible plays.

"Idle Speed Ignition Advance The more vacuum an engine pulls at idle, the more rarefied the charge is as the piston approaches TDC on the firing stroke. The lower the cylinder compression pressure at the time of ignition, the slower the charge burns. This calls for more advance, so that the...

40 degrees of total advance (base+vacuum) at idle. I'm currently running 20 base with 12 from the MSD vacuum advance. Ideally I'd like to get back to 15 deg base with 25 vacuum for 40 total. When I adjusted advance with a vacuum gauge, I was getting 12.5" max around 37-42 degrees.

I have a 440 currently running an MSD Pro Billet distributor with MSD-AL2. It has a pretty big cam (Comp XE285-HL; 241/247 @ 0.050, 0.545 lift). Manifold vacuum tops out around 12.5" at 40 deg advance at idle. Over the summer I was having some issues with running too rich at idle. Some great...

There's a guy that sold brackets that adapted 2012-era Mustang GT front and rear brakes over on dodgecharger.com to stock drum spindles and at least the 8.57 rear end. He wasn't asking crazy money for them at the time. They work for the normal 13.2" Mustang GT brakes, or can be used with the...

Perfect, thank you.

Do you have pics of the front lower control arms, specifically how you have done the lower shock mount? I went through the thread and didn't see one with a good angle. Thanks!

I love this thread.

All 68-70 b bodies should have similar routing for brake and fuel lines. Fuel and brake line routing . Companies like Inline Tube make pre-formed/pre-bent lines for these cars, if you want to go that route. Once you lay them out it's pretty clear where they go.

It's an aux input for 3.5mm audio connectors. It's for nerds that want to play vinyl records while they drive. Plug in your turntable and go! Can also be used with Zune and 1st gen iPods. Or anything else that plays sounds and has a 3.5mm output jack. :thumbsup:

I bought a Retrosound unit and honestly don't like it much at all. Sound quality isn't great but not terrible, but the fit and finish of the unit is pretty awful, and the bluetooth features are not the best compared to other modern units. For the price, it was an unfortunate mistake. I'm...

I have lowering blocks and u-bolts bought, just haven't installed them. I need to find a different distributor to get more vac. advance. Still haven't finished installing/wiring the heater controls. I've burned #5 plug wire a couple times, need to do something about that. Oh, and new mufflers...

Oy, that super stinks. Hopefully some paintless dent removal can make quick work of it!
