    Speedmaster Distributor causes backfire under load...

    Hey all, So I am still missing something. I missed the part where I should have bypassed the resistor in the install of this distributor. I bypassed the resistor now and things are OK. But I have a follow-on question. The distributor I purchased does not have a vacuum advance. What is the...

    1966 Gauge repair outcome...

    Hey all, It's been a while since I replied to this thread. I wanted to come back to finish the story of this repair. Terry sent me wire... thank you SO much. I got a micro-welder and it worked great. Took a bit of getting a handle on it but I got there. I was able to repair one of the gauges...

    Power Steering gearbox... OK or replace?

    Boy, do those videos bring back memories from my years in the USAF as an AC mechanic. "BING"... change the slide... "BING"... change the slide. :lol:

    Speedmaster Distributor causes backfire under load...

    OK... some closure on this. Rechecking the timing and I found the timing to be about 18 to 20 degs... WAY out. But while fiddling with adjusting the timing, I found one of the three wires from the new Speedmaster had a failed crip. I had to disassemble the connector, solder the wire in...

    Power Steering gearbox... OK or replace?

    Thanks RJ... I have run it quite a bit. I am fairly certain all the air is out. But burning your arm... yea. That sounds like a running engine adjustment. I will give that a shot. :thumbsup:

    Power Steering gearbox... OK or replace?

    Hey all, I put a rebuild kit into my 1966 Charger steering gearbox, but the kit did not come with bearings. I have tightened the gear shaft adjusting screw down but still have some slop. I am unsure if the screw should be adjusted with the engine running or not. The image is before rebuilding...

    Speedmaster Distributor causes backfire under load...

    Thanks Geoff... It's a stock cam. But I will also check the gap and fouling. Its brand new so I didn't think to check anything like gaps and all. :)

    Speedmaster Distributor causes backfire under load...

    Thanks Don... I had never heard of rotor phasing before. The old distributor is non-functional. It was broken during transport prior to the rebuild as the block was not original to my Charger. After some research, I see what you mean. I pulled the cap and removed the rotor and noticed the rotor...

    Speedmaster Distributor causes backfire under load...

    Hey all, I rebuilt a 440 block and upgraded (so I think) the distributor with a Speedmaster electronic distributor. Problem is, under load, it seems to backfire into the carb implying I am not getting the spark advance I should be getting. The only thing I upgraded was the distributor. Should I...

    Steering wheel is 180 degs out?!?

    That's good to know R/T... I am taking it apart again so I will dig deep into alignment for sure.

    Steering wheel is 180 degs out?!?

    I did a full front end rebuild on this. Bushings, ball joints, tie rods, pitman and idler arm are all brand new. Plus I upgraded to disks in the front.

    Steering wheel is 180 degs out?!?

    Thanks for the response Photon440... I did center the tie rods before I aligned the wheels and I do have about the same travel in both directions. :thumbsup:

    Steering wheel is 180 degs out?!?

    R/T Boy 67... YES is was. That's it. Holy crap. Never thought of that. Yes... the coupler was disassembled, cleaned and I put the damn thing back together backwards. Wow... thanks man. :praying:

    Steering wheel is 180 degs out?!?

    Hey all, The rebuild of my 1966 Charger is all but done. I am doing shakedown runs and found one interesting thing that I can't figure out what happened. I rebuilt my steering gearbox but I have two issues with it. 1. The steering wheel is 180 out. 2. The steering feels a bit sloppy. I know I...

    FOR SALE Reproduction front fender chrome spears...

    I can... grind, sand and polish them and sell as a set. The challenge is the mounting studs. I found that the matching holes are different with a 66 vs 67 so I am unsure if I should drill and mount for a 66 if someone has a 67 fender. But I can sell them as finished products.

    FOR SALE Reproduction front fender chrome spears...

    Hey all, The front chrome spears on my 66 Charger were damaged and I could not repair them. So, I crafted a model and sand-casted replacement spears. Like all sand-castings, they are rough and require some minor grinding followed by sanding, polishing then buffing to a shine. They don't have...

    66 Mopar mechanical fuel gauge rebuild

    Hey all, Does anyone know the wire gage for the nichrome wire used in the fuel, oil and temp gauges? I want to try to rebuild each but not sure what the wire gage size is. Does 24 gage nichrome wire sound right?

    Pulley alignment challenge

    Yea... I did. Running through a host of other minor issues like no tach, no temp and no oil pressure readings. The 5v converter is gone TU on me I think.

    Temp and Oil pressure gauges not working

    Awe crap... and I just put the gauge cluster back into the dash. :BangHead: As noted, I see the voltage jump up and down... tough to read though. But I get what your saying Twecomm. Do you know what to look for in a blown gauge?
