    Strange crack when attempting start, then losing all power (Video)

    Thanks for all the replies. To eliminate possible causes I plan to usr some beefy power wires, both from the negative (battery) to the block, and from the positive (battery) to the starter relay. If nothing is changed, I think I have to find the wire that goes from the starter switch relay to...

    Strange crack when attempting start, then losing all power (Video)

    So I am trying to start the car, crank 1 no start, pump the gas a few times, crank 2 no start, pump again, then attempt no.3, when turning the key to start, I hear a pop, then all power is lost (even clock stops), though the ignition is turned on. Turn ignition off, you can see the clock moving...

    Brake light comes on when accelerating hard(ish)

    amm... what does a residual pressure valve do, and where is it? Back when restoring the car I just bought a master cylinder for a 1968 Charger; it fit so it went on the car... no need to scold me on my ignorance, already done that :)

    Brake light comes on when accelerating hard(ish)

    I am meaning to do a whole brake upgrade over the winter, and will of course get the correct master cylinder. BTW, I've been long asking myself, why is it important to have the correct one? I mean, it's just a tank that holds liquid to be delivered where it needs to go, right? What can happen if...

    Brake light comes on when accelerating hard(ish)

    So here I am after a crappy day at work, taking the Charger out for a drive through the hills & forests around the city to vent. Some time after I started driving hard, I saw the Brake light flashing when upshifting from 1st to 2nd @ 6k rpm. Then, I saw it coming on and staying on when I was...

    old school looking tires that grip

    I always felt greatly missunderstood. I mean I really don't like that people think that if I see a human on the street, I just have to suck his blood... I mean when you see a beautiful girl walking past, you instantly drop what you're doing, and f*** her? I really believe I am a very nice and...

    old school looking tires that grip

    I know it's very shallow of me to pick on the company's name, but I can't stop myself :) Since the Brits opted out of the EU, I have to go through customs for anything I buy from there. It's not only the money, it's the red tape. Before brexit, I would buy stuff from Britain on a weekly basis...

    old school looking tires that grip

    I LOVE THIS FORUM. I think the Avons have everything I've been searching for. Except for the name. Really. Why would you chose a name that sounds like face cream? Is there by any chance a place that sells the 245 & 295 within the EU, so I don't have to go through customs?

    old school looking tires that grip

    Could you give a bit more details? From the presentation it seemed like exactly what I was looking for, vintage thread, and grip. Same for the Cooper Cobras / MT Sportsman ST, as I understand only marginally better grip, don't look as cool as the BFGs. What size were they? When did you buy...

    old school looking tires that grip

    Thanks for all the pointers. I think I got a lead... what do you guys think of the M&H Muscle Car Drag tire? N50-15, comes with front size too, vintage looking tread. M&H says medium compound, recommended for both for street and track. Seems to tick all the boxes, one last thing worries me -...

    old school looking tires that grip

    Have really searched before posting. My car has the awesome looking BFG 295/50 & 245/60 combo. I think only thing that would look better would be radials that look like bias ply in the same sizes... so about a G60 in the front, and a N50 in the rear(correct me if I'm wrong about the...

    Best source to buy Quality RV2 compressor without sending yours

    *ANYBODY, PLEASE TELL ME WHO DOES A GOOD JOB REBUILDING THE A/C & CLUTCH* - be it a company, or a person with good reputation (like crackedback headlight relay harness) I am at my wit's end. I ended up calling Classic Auto Air (Original Air Group), and asked the rep whether they sell already...

    Best source to buy Quality RV2 compressor without sending yours

    I did try to fix my original 8 track, and it worked for a while. Bought the replacement parts needed, asked my uncle for help with the capacitors etc. However the results were sub-par, and eventualy the sound got lower, and lower, till nothing happened anymore. Bought a great looking, non...

    Chassis dyno of stock 1968 Charger R/T (440/727)

    I think I have to give additional details. I also knew from old literature that the '68-'71 hp440 was realisticaly rated at 305-315hp. I have the RV2 factory compressor on the engine, but the clutch was not engaged - so it was just idling the A/C/ clutch pulley. Does that rob hp as compared to...

    Chassis dyno of stock 1968 Charger R/T (440/727)

    Took the car to a chassis dyno yesterday, haven't seen a dyno showing what rwhp a stock hp 440 makes. Took a couple of videos of the runs, here's one of them: 262.7hp @5108rpm & 477Nm @ 3277rpm (that's 351lbft). If you take into acount a 25% drivetrain loss, that would translate to 350hp &...

    Anybody going to the Mopar Nationals in Germany on Aug 5th?

    Stripped the front left wheel bolt at the balancing shop. Ordered parts, but I don't think they will arrive on time for me to be there on Friday. So I'm out it seems, it's such a frustrating feeling, I had everything booked. Still, for the members who are going (I'm looking at you, Sacha hehe)...

    Front end rattle after replacing EVERYTHING

    Went on Dr Diff's website, would have not ever suspected that, were it not for the pointer... just wow. Thanks a bunch!

    Front end rattle after replacing EVERYTHING

    Thanks for the tips: The bilts holding the bracket to the spindle are OK. Also, the kit I bought had the clips pre bent so that when they are bolted down, they are under tension. So far, took the clips out, put it back on, and strangely it doesn't rattle anymore.

    Anybody going to the Mopar Nationals in Germany on Aug 5th?

    I am posting here because I do not have enough privileges to post in the Events section. If this is the wrong place, I kindly ask the admin to move it where it's more appropriate. SO last week, along with a caliper clip set I bought from a shop in Germany, I also got a flyer inviting everybody...
