I do not. Car idles and sounds great. The only issue I’m having is once it’s warmed up I’m getting some backfire. (Honestly can’t tell if it’s coming back through the carb or coming out the exhaust, which I guess would be after fire). Thought maybe starting with the fuel filter, adjusting the...

Thanks all! I went with the metal one (though it seemed much more loose in the hoses because it was smaller in diameter than the one I took out but the hose clamps did the trick). Appreciate the tip to have a little bucket underneath it so I didn’t spill gasoline all over the valve covers. Now...

When I read this I thought oh that’s odd because on the passenger side the PCV hose is running to something. I bought a new one today and went to replace it and found out it’s hooked up to nothing. Think I should give it a try and hook it up? Or maybe there’s a reason someone unhooked. Also the...

So I can’t tell when the last time my 440 had her fuel filter changed. So I bought a metal and plastic WIX filter. I tried googling and looking on YouTube but I couldn’t find anyone explaining the process on an older car. I saw some tips about letting the pressure out of the system first by...

Got it! Makes sense. Sounds like I might need to replace these sooner than later. I get the valve stem under the bumper is to take air in/out but any idea what the nipple is near the license plate is used for? I was thinking it looks like if I was to loosen it air comes out?

I still have yet to adjust the idle mixture screws (just need some time off work to take it for a drive, likely this weekend and I’ll see if that helps). Also going to replace the fuel filter just in case. Found some notes from the guy I purchased it from that he did all new wires but only...

So it looks I have a line from each shock. Then I have that nipple under my license plate and I found what looks like an air pressure stem under the bumper. I’d imagine one lets air out and the other lets air in? Would I just let all the air out and then fill it back up to the height I like or...

I have a 72 RR that is new to me. I can tell that the left side of the car is a little higher than the right side. I was thinking it’s possible how the air shocks are adjusted. I just have no idea how to adjust them. I only see one nipple that maybe I could hook up my compressor to but how would...

thanks all for the responses! Can someone help me identify the idle mixture screws? I believe it’s the two right in front of the carb circle in yellow but just want to be sure.

So it’s been driving great and I took it on a longer than normal drive today. It started to backfire but only when I wasn’t accelerating. Typically just some small popping with the occasional louder pop. Any idea where I should start? I just have never experienced a car backfire only when...

So there’s a red light under the steering wheel. And a switch with a light in the center console. Can’t figure out what either of them do… Also any tips on getting the glove box open? The key just spins the lock. I’d imagine that heater you see on the floor can just pop back in but I bet I’m...

Thanks! Any idea what’s a fair price? Like $100-$200? Not trying to rip any one off and I’m also not trying to waste my time.

Fins are bent to all heck. No idea what needs to be done to it. Just wasn’t sure if it had any value more than scrap metal.

So whenever this cat was repainted last. Someone took these emblems off, filled the holes and then never put them back on. Trying to locate the correct reproduction parts to put back on. I can’t seem to find what size of part number for both parts might be and wasn’t sure if any Charger or Arrow...

I’m going to cruise with it and not worry about much else. It won’t be garaged or covered (except in the winter). Will the paint for the most part stay like this or if I keep it out in the sun and elements is it going to start peeling and cracking quickly? I realize the sun will hurt it no...
