So I ended up cutting the reinforcement that is welded in the strap. When I had pressed the bushings in the straps the hole was so squished and small that there was no way it was going to go onto the bar. In the service manyalninhave it shows that reinforcement piece not attached but a separate...

Hey guys and gals hope all is well! I bought a set of 1967 charger sway bar bushings because the originals were shot and I was getting getting cluck/knock noise when I would accelerate. All of the bushings are the correct part number and were a bitch to press into the strap that connects to the...

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah I have some control arm bushings coming, I have all the tie rod ends, lower ball joints and uppers. I found the correct bushings for the links that are under there and should be in the mail. Also figured out that nut on the top. Hopefully this fixes the clunk. When I bring it into the shop...

Hey guys, haven't posted in a bit as I haven't worked too much on the 66 charger lately. I'll be getting into some front end suspension work to have an alignment done at the shop. I was going to replace the front sway bar bushings as I am getting a clunky sound when accelerating and the...

So I haven't checked the timing on it yet but the Fury i built is at 38 degrees at 3000 rpm all in eithout vac advance which she seems to like and can't go much more than that with the stock distributor. The Charger has stock gearing which I believe is 2:71 which is terrible but the Fury has...

That's what i have heard, I can get my hands on a stock 4bbl dual plane for around $500 I have the stock 2bbl intake and can get holley 2bbl 500 for around $185-$200 which would definitely wake it up. There is definitely options I have available but wasn't sure if I was able to make it a bit...

Hey folks it's been a bit since I've posted here as I have been working on a 65' Fury with a 318 Poly. Anyway my wife inherited a 66' Charger with the 318 Poly engine. Her father had the engine rebuilt, blocked was decked, 218 .461 camshaft was installed along with and electronic ignition. A...

Yeah im trying to learn as much as possible about this thing. I have been talking with Terry who has done a write up on charger source. I have already tested the capacitor but I am using a digital which is not the best to test capacitors with, so I will pick up an analog one. I have all the...

Hey all hope you are all doing well! I ahev had some time to play around with the charger a bit and test some things a fix the horns! Next was the EL! It seems as tho I may need a new power pack or rebuild it rather. I have gethered all the parts I will need. But I would like to test the...

So i did all the un car testing, im doing a bench now to.find which gauge is shorted, if any. My in car AC voltage at the white wire on the power pack side was 225 volts AC. The 28 was during the bench testing. Ive followed all the steps in the service manual, disconnecting each gauge and then...

Thank you! I disconnected the power pack plug and used a jumper to power the orange wire and ran a test with my voltmeter and was getting 225 volts AC and heard the humming from the power pack, so the power pack is good. I removed the cluster last night to start the bench testing. I have gotten...

Finally getting into the the EL. When we first got the car the EL worked and was beautiful. However they stopped working just kind of suddenly. I did however have my headlights on and shut the driver door and they came back on after being dead for a bit and then have never come on since. I got...

I've decided instead of returning ****, I just made a couple new mounting holes, horns work!

Well i got the new horns today, and they do not have the right brackets on them to mount correctly, so thats cool. Ill get those returned. Still getting no continuity from the old horns. By chance do any of you know what the resistance reading should be for the relay?
