    Share your positive experience you had with a company

    Good customer service If we're talking customer service, I had a good experience with TSR Racing. I was looking online for a seal for my transmission and stumbled across their website. I was just looking for a single seal as opposed to buying a kit. I called and the guy I spoke with offered...

    Best sounding mufflers for stock 383?

    I'm looking for some opinions on what brand and model mufflers to drop into my 68 Charger. Its a healthy but stock 383 with a factory style reproduction dual exhaust system in it. I'm not looking to change the whole system, just looking to get the right level of sound out of it. The stock...

    Need help figuring out which power steering pump

    Yeah, I still have the steering box out of the 66 Chrysler, so I thought of swapping the return fitting. I can see a spring inside the Chrysler one - I guess that fitting is considered part of the valve body and I'm wondering if I'd be opening up a can of worms trying to swap that part (are...

    Need help figuring out which power steering pump

    Ok guys, frustrating afternoon trying to get my power steering pump figured out. Here's the background - I dropped a 383 from a 66 Chrysler into a 318 68 Charger. Both cars had good working power steering pumps, so I didn't care which one got used. Both pumps are the same style, which I...

    Suspension reassembly

    yeah, that's what I figured. I'll leave them snug but not tight, then torque them down once I get the motor back in.

    Suspension reassembly

    If no one minds having this thread revived a second time, I have a comment and a question. The comment is that my understanding is the same as Meep's that the LCA and strut arm are left loose until the car is on the ground so that the bushings are in a neutral position and not pre-loaded. The...

    Temp sender question

    I'll take a look when I get home from work. If my memory serves, there's no hole in the housing to install the sender horizontal (as my 70 has). It has the 1/4 hole near the heater hose fittings (vertical), and I believe there is a 1/8 plugged hole (vertical again) on the drivers side of the...

    Temp sender question

    By the way 69 Runner, I agree - I haven't gotten a project car yet where I wasn't shaking my head as I was pulling out all the old wiring, looking at what previous owners did over the years. Most of the electrical in these cars isn't complicated and doesn't take a lot of effort to do a correct...

    Temp sender question

    Thanks guys. Exactly the info I needed. I'll pick up the TS-17 and be done with it. Not to get greedy, but I also noticed that the temp sender appears to be a 1/8 pipe thread, and it looks like my water pump housing has a 1/4 thread hole. I'm guessing someone switched the housing at one...

    Temp sender question

    I bought a repro engine harness for my 68 charger and it has the temp sender wire designed for the threaded-stud type sender. The temp sender I got from the parts store is the flat termianal type though. I know I can just snip the wire and put a different connector on, but for what the harness...

    Tire question 1968

    This is probably not helpful since its an e body, but at one time I tucked 325/50 15s on 10 inch rims on my 70 challenger. The just barely made it, but I had to roll the inside lip of the quarter on one side. I don't remember the backspacing, but I still have the rims in the garage if you want...

    22" to 26" radiator conversion question

    By the way, yeah, after reading the comments from you guys I see what the factory did. The 22" radiator is centered to the engine compartment, not the motor. It doesn't have a shroud but I guess it takes some kind of offset shroud. The 26" radiator looks like it will end up being centered to...

    22" to 26" radiator conversion question

    Thanks guys. I was a little concerned I was going to have to change the whole damn support, but just cutting out the right side and welding in the replacement won't be too much of a hassle. I picked up a '66 300 with a healthy 383 and I'm going to do a drive train swap this spring and want to...

    22" to 26" radiator conversion question

    Yeah, looking at it again, the left side holes look correct. I was thrown off because I thought they were a little too low. The top of the 26" radiator tank looks like it will sit slightly lower than the top bar of the rad support, while the tank of the 22" sticks up past it. I guess that's...
