I installed a power brake booster and new MC on my 66 Charger with front ssbc disc brakes. But no power boost !! I did this test... First i removed the check valve and can suck thru from the hose end but cannot blow into it. I believe this is the proper check valve action. Then reinstalled...

I have a 66 Charger... The car is a complete driver, with 383 4V, 727 automatic, 3.23 open diff. It is all original... Rust Free... Runs good. The 383 4V was bored to .030 and new pistons/rings and bearing put in the car. It starts easily and doesnt smoke... Camshaft is a mild...

When you buy one like that, it will always end up costing more than you can sell it for. BUT, to many including me, its a labor of love, and the pride of saying I rebuilt it myself is worth so so much. So, if working on one, and spending time on it is appealing, i say negotiate a little...

Awesome car... 318 ?? You might want to join http://66-67charger.com/ as it is specific to first gen chargers, and has tons of info.. Also, take a look at my ride... 66 Charger 383/4V Automatic that I restored from near junk yard status.. its on facebook ...

What Intake manifold are you running... Stock 4V or aftermarket... I have an Edlebrock 383 Torker on mine which is a mistake, in that its a single plane manifold. They don't really start to make good power until at least 2000 RPM. On my 66 Charger 383 with the Edlebrock torker...

How are the plugs?? I've seen when changing the Cam..that the different compression caused by the new cam will cause the plugs to not fire... just a thought..

The shop manual for a 66...383 4V is +12 BTDC... I would guess a 67 would be the same. ps....one reported method for setting the timing without timing light is to use a vacuum gauge and adjust to maximum vacuum..then back off 1-2 degrees.. Of course if your carb is messed up, or the...

I live in Irwin (20 miles east of Pgh). What is WOW?? where will it be at and when?? what else is there to do in mid january except watch the Steelers in the playoffs!

Thanks Thanks for all the kind words... I have put probably 1000 plus hours into restoring it, doing all of the work 95% myself to fit my budget. Wouldnt have able to do it without help from the guys at 66-67Charger.com and their source guide. It still has a long way to go... hope to...
