^Thx Bob. Pretty sure the AC shop was looking for the GM CCOT, cycling compressor. The Charger AC is working great, so I'll assume the EPR/TXV handshake is working properly.

To his defense, really nice guy, some grey hair like me, but mostly older GM experience. Had a custom 57 Impala in the bay when I arrived. Was fine with using R12. Hard to find an AC shop around here with RV2 experience. Anyway, I didn't know enough about the RV2-EPR design at the time to...

Followup to earlier post about A/C wiring on 69 Charger. Installed the correct 3 wire A/C switch, had the OE system evacuated and charged with R12. Working great, however, AC guy was worried the compressor wasn't cycling, could lead to evaporator freezing. AC guys, doesn't the RV2 clutch...

Appreciate the replies. Ray, I had the exact same confusion as you looking at the schematics. In my daughter's RT there is the black/white tracer wire running from the fuse box to a female connector on the A/C harness. There is also a black/white tracer wire with a male connector farther down...

Working on daughters 69RT with factory air, getting it ready to be charged/serviced. Started wiring up the A/C controls and noticed there were 2 fan switches in the parts box, one with 3 wire harness and one with 4 incl a separate connector. OK, so check out the FSM schematics and the...

Check the coil, simple resistance measurements. Then take a look at the fuel pump pushrod. Some aftermarket rods wear quickly. Daughter's 69 Charger had one, no sputtering, just died in the middle of the freeway.

70RR and 69 Charger RT, neither had the rod. The Charger is an all orig survivor.

Brings back memories. Back in the 90s when I was doing regular boneyard trips, 70 Satellite station wagons were somewhat common and several had N code engines. One had a never been used original Goodyear G78-15 double white stripe spare (still had the sticker). Lotsa good parts off those...

Running Goodyear Polyglas G70-15 reproductions on my 70rr. Tires are now about 12yrs old, though look brand new as they probably have about 3000mi. Sidewalls are good and they hold air very well. Always garaged. Opinion on whether I should replace them based on age?

Also not so old, watched Homesman with Tommy Lee Jones and Hillary Swank last night. Pretty good flick, western circa 1850s.

Yes. They are abundant around here. Occasionally they get into the house. One night, dark room, I stepped on what felt like a needle. So turned the light on, searched the carpet for the needle, spotted a scorpion hiding next to a cabinet. The sting was similar to a bee sting. The area...

Finding an 70s A body or even FMJ for knuckles and caliper adapters in today's boneyards is nearly impossible. Collected many of these for several conversions during early 90s boneyard trips when 70s A bodies were plentiful. You could still get plenty of pin type Looking to convert daughters...

From 69 Charger RT survivor (daughter's car), never been removed, circa 2018.

Don't have the car anymore :BangHead: but still got the pic.

Daughter's 69 Charger RT, 83K orig miles. She's third owner. First owner, long time friend, bought it new from Crenshaw Dodge LA in Aug69. He kept all sales docs, window sticker, broadcast, repair receipts, and mileage log for fillups. Sold it to another good friend in 2010. I was middle...
