Beautiful car, definately keep the wheel covers on, lose the side moulding.

Thanks for the input, there's no gaskets currently and no leaks, I'll keep it this way. The factory torque spec is 30 ft/lbs which seems low but one has to think there's some engineering in sealing two parts that expand when heated. The manifold bolts came out easy and didn't strip which was nice!

I'm resealing and changing gaskets on my 1970 440 Charger R/T to fix some oil leaks and will be removing the exhaust manifolds. My question is: do i need to use exhaust manifold gaskets or not? The Dodge manual states that no gasket is required. I don't have much experience working on old Mopars...

Mine's quite a bit different from that one, they must have changed it for 1970, thanks though.

This is the cover

Can someone please post a photo or advise what these 4 screws are supposed to look like? They hold the plastic cover on under the steering column and attach to the bottom of the dashboard. Im not sure whether they are supposed to be chrome or black painted. Part number 2984719. Thank You.

I'm looking to refinish my dual snorkel air cleaner on my 1970 Charger R/T. It has the black crinkle finish paint and some of the original paint looks like it was sprayed off with a pressure washer over the years. What have people had the most success with in refinishing these? Thanks in advance!

Looks like it has tiny rivets alternating between the screws.

Great looking ride! Orange with no vinyl like mine. I wish I had three pedals and chrome wheel well openings like yours though.

This is from my '70 Charger. The headliner and trim has never been off. Let me know if you want more detail. Hope this helps.

Chrome phillips with an integrated flange.

Hope this helps.

I really like this post, I keep coming back to it, its like the black ghost that never went away. I'm guessing that it's in a warm climate that never gets snow or salt on the roads?

Beautiful car! My car sat on the lot at Chinook Chrysler until it was purchased in December 16, 1969 although its a 1970. Perhaps they knew one another? I've seen that car around town, very unique colour combination.

Ended up putting 15/8 and 15/7 Weld Draglites on the Charger with 275 60's and 215 70's combo. Sits about 2 inches higher and rides nice now!
