Thanks for letting me know. I changed the status on youtube. I had the battery checked at the store and they said all looked on the load tester. I checked the grounds for tightness but I will pull them off and scuff. Then run through the rest of things listed above and see what I find. I...

After an embarrassingly long time away from it I have started working on my 1973 Charger project again and having some issues getting it to crank. Battery is reading good and it has a new starter. Is there something else with the factory ignition system I should be looking at?

How do you verify the shaft length? I don't see a length in the descriptions online for either of the pumps above. I put this pump on earlier today because another local NAPA said it was the correct one but i am not getting fuel to the carb even after a couple mins of cranking. I pulled the...

Interesting....this is the pump that was on it.

I have a 1969 440 RB in my 1973 charger that I suspect the mechanical fuel pump went on. I am looking to replace with a new mechanical pump but the people behind the counter at my local NAPA and AutoZone have no idea. They just turn the screen around and ask me to look at a list of about 10...

It is a year later but you don't happen to still have these do you?

The inner fender splash guards for my car were in the trunk but I can't figure out how to install them? They don't seem to fit or line up. Does anyone have any pictures or suggestions?

Looking to buy a set of 1971-1972 Dodge Charger Rear bumper brackets to get rid of the gap.

I appreciate all of the help. I feel like an idiot but I had the wires for 5&7 switched. Changed them and she fired right up. There is a metal tick sound now on the driver side but I will tackle that another night.

Its hard to get any good pictures in my garage but here are a couple from when I got it, the engine bay before the clean up and what it looks like now.

Thanks everyone for the ideas and advice. I will check the wires to make sure they are not touching, verify the cap is clean and not cracked and try Coloradodaves instructions for getting the motor to tdc and verify the rotor location (before I pull the cap). I will let everyone know how it goes.

I don't remember pulling the cap and definitely did not pull the distributor point. With the wires routed the way they are I think it would have been hard to rotate it 180 without things getting tangled up but I can try flipping the cap. What am I looking for with the rotor?

I also changed out the gas tank and fuel pickup. Blew out the gas line, dumped in 5 gallons of fresh gas and added a 100 and 50 micron fuel filter. Clear fuel filter is not showing any gas yet so dont think that the mechanical fuel pump has had time to draw from the tank yet. The battery is...

I have a 1973 Charger SE project that originally had a 440 but at some point had a 1969 440 swapped in. When I got it it had sat for several years. We got it running but bad fuel had the carb all gummed up. I pulled the carb, had it rebuilt and just put it back on with new spark plugs, ballast...

She is in primer and pieces but everything was in the trunk and the body is solid minus the driver rear quarter which has a case of the rot.
