Advice on a Charger

dual fours said:
Cool 68, if you'd be closer I think I'd try to make a deal on the old school Cragars.
I wonder why the Charger scrip's are on the front fender, and not on the sail panel, that's different?
Get yourself another ECU box, (that ORANGE thing on the right fender well), get the chrome Mopar Performance one put it on and throw the Orange box in the trunk for a spare. Or keep the Orange hooked up and put the Chrome in the trunk.
Get a fire extinguisher and put behind the passenger seat or somewhere, your choice, it's a 48 year old car.

Edit: Missing the antenna, maybe it's stuck somewhere in the car, I see a black car cover, people remove the antenna when covering their car. Did the PO tell you the antenna was missing? Check the cracks where the rear quarters meet the trunk floor in the trunk.

Actually, I know I am supposed to remove the antennae before covering it... but since its a pos antennae - I didn't care much regarding removal for cover. Got the other on way from National MOPAR. Fire extinguisher is a great idea... didn't think of that. There are no cracks in the trunk on the inside by the quarter panel... least I don't see any.

Got the plates four days ago. Took it around the block in a circle, then a bigger circle, and so forth... yesterday I took it out for a 35km drive each way. So far so good except for fumes in the car. Gotta keep the windows down.
 
I believe the fumes are from the bad weather striping around the trunk...sucks the exhaust in as you drive..at least that was the case with my 72....I love the car....a 340 or 360 will look just like the 318 but will make your smile much bigger.
 
Track down and fix any exhaust leaks or sources into the cabin, but it could also be the mixture. If my car gets too rich it can burn the eyes. As far back as I can remember, my car has always had an exhaust smell. It is the new cars that don't.
 
What is the stock tire that goes on the 68 Dodge Charger please?... I know that the rim size is a 14x6 I think.

14" 5.5 big bolt pattern....

Nice 68 BTW....Whatever part you remove, keep it and store it. You never know what you may need in the future...
 
I have more holes in the trunk floor than his trunk lid seal has in area. Still no exhaust fumes inside car. Start checking your exhaust system for holes.
