    New Dynamic Torque Convertor Leaking

    Pre fill the converter? I never have. I just smear a daub of grease on the front seal and let the transmission do the filling. Sorry for your debacle.

    New fuel sender not working

    It looks like either the ground is not getting to the sender or the float is sunk as Dads Bee mentioned.

    New fuel sender not working

    When you say you have a good ground.......Which one are you talking about. You need a good ground at your tank and your gauge housing.

    5 blade to a 7 blade well it help

    I have no technical info on a 5 or 7 blade fan. However, my 65 Sport Fury (non AC car) had a 4 blade fan with no shroud from the factory. I mounted a piece of window screen in front of the radiator to keep the bugs out. It caused my engine temps to rise to the point of almost boiling at an idle...

    What's it Worth 65 Sport Fury 426 Max Wedge

    As with any car that has been restored, modded or otherwise for sale, IMO, you have to find someone that is willing to pay the asking price. Since they are only worth what someone else is willing to pay for them you are not dealing with a ton of people. Just because a person puts 50K into a...

    68 Charger multiple brake issues

    It looks like you have the correct linkage under the dash. If by chance your brakes are still not up to the task, I would recommend you ditch that stand off booster for the bendix dual 8" unit I referred to in post 2. You won't need the knuckle and if your master cylinder is a 4 bolt unit you...

    Disc brake swap

    I removed the front spindles, rotors, calipers, pads and proportioning valve from an 80 Aspen. I put them on my 60 Dart along with a new master cylinder for the Aspen. They have been on there for 20 years and clear the stock 14" wheels with no issues except my Bellows booster does not provide...

    Speedometer Wobble - Diagnosis & Repair?

    The issue is more than likely the speedo head causing your issue. They get dried out from lack of lubrication. My 65 Sport Fury developed the same issue. I pulled out the speedo cluster and put a drop or two of clock oil in it. It has been working fine since then. This is what I used...

    68 charger new member

    It has been 10 years since I did mine and I probably forgot some stuff. I used a 6.1 engine from a 2006 Charger SRT. The transmission was from a 2012 Ram. You will need the ring gear, converter and starter for the truck transmission since it is different from the Nag1. and the starter is on the...

    68 charger new member

    I used the 5R45RFE 5 speed auto from a 2012 Ram 2wd. It is a stand alone transmission unlike the NAG1. I wanted the overdrive plus the first two gears are lower than 1st gear in the 727. It helps a bunch with low end grunt and works well with the 3.23 rear gear. My 6.1 turns 1700 rpms at 70 mph...

    68 charger new member

    Welcome from Wisconsin. Looks like a good project for you. I too installed a 6.1 in my 68 Charger. Back in 2014, no one was using the Nag 1 transmission but now there is plenty of help to make that happen. Biggest problem with that is you have to use the Nag 1 shifter which I didn't want. I had...

    68 Charger multiple brake issues

    You don't by chance have a Midland booster do you? I know they used a spacer / filter in between the booster and master cylinder that was about 1/2" thick. The Bendix booster didn't use that spacer. It might explain why the rod was too long. As for my 65 Fury, Yes it has bucket seats and...

    68 Charger multiple brake issues

    I no longer have access to my Niece's Challenger but I tested my Charger and my 2005 Chrysler 300. Both pedals will go down about 1" before becoming firm. Engine running or not. My 65 Fury has power drum brakes and has a bit less pedal movement before becoming firm. None are spongy. If you have...

    68 Charger multiple brake issues

    I installed the Bendix dual 8" unit on my niece's 70 Challenger and my 68 Charger. They both work perfectly. The provided linkage is a direct bolt in. As I mentioned in post #2, the only issue I had was I needed to enlarge the firewall hole about 1/8" to allow for the larger than factory rubber...
