Most likely, the very knowledgeable people on this site are going to want you to post a picture of the BS, to try to answer your questions.

I agree with Black_Sheep; I don't believe anything runs from the tach to the circuit board. I thought the tic toc tac was a stand alone unit, wired to the coil, ignition (?) power source and the clock plug on the dash harness.

Detroit Muscle Technologies for the seal kit. I'm not sure what shape your box is in, but the last couple I've removed and "restored" only needed a good cleaning, instead of sanding and paint. The last one I removed had a huge mouse nest, too. The pictures are from a '70 cuda, but sent for...

I've removed and serviced several 69 and 70 rallye instrument clusters. I would never try to change out the speedometer unless the cluster came out.

Always cool stuff, Greg. Thanks.

I don't know if you're going for originality, but if I remember correctly, those are threaded studs with a nut containing a molded in, or captive washer.

I did an internet search and found this picture from Hot Rod magazine. It looks like the door panels, arm rests and seats are a creamier white than the upper door panel white.

If you have a fender tag, you can find the "upper door frame" paint code there. It can be found on the second row from the bottom, usually, the 4th code from the left. If your car is/was originally white, it's likely coded W1 or EW1 - which is an exterior paint color. So, it's likely the vinyl...

Damn. Another one...

I was mistaken. These are just like the reference picture that I have, from my restoration, for a '70 B-Body, and not the '68, which is different, according to the Plymouth FSM. I'm only assuming the '68 Dodge is the same as the Plymouth.

It looks like the spring needs to be in the larger hole on the brake shoe. I have a great reference pic at home, which I'm not there. I'll try to post it tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it.

Tires are getting expensive!

I have also used Lemon Squad for an older muscle car. My first question was, "do you actually know what to inspect for on these older cars?" I was impressed. Very thorough inspection and found cowl issues, which were common on this particular car. In other words, they knew to look there...

I may be wrong, but I have a hard time believing it's a matching numbers engine for that price. I'd inquire. And, it was originally dark metallic tan, not red.

The last trim I installed also had too much mastic/adhesive on the window, too, interfering a bit with a good fit.
