    73 Charger Power Window Issue

    Binding. The window motor has limited power. It wont break your arm off if caught in the window while going up. Thats by design. If there is enough bind the window will just stop. Look for something binding up.

    Yesterday was redemption day

    My 73 Charger. Lots of time and money in this ratty car. Yesterday I took it to the Fly and Drive show in Wickenburg AZ. It was very cold in the morning, in the 40's. Got there before sunrise. As the sun comes up you can start taking off layers. I was taking my coat back to the car, as I walked...

    Question for Holley experts

    All I did to it today was enlarge the secondary side IFR. Then readjust all 4 mixture screws for the winter time tune up. It seems to help smooth out the clutch engagement a bit.

    Question for Holley experts

    Actually with the PV number, it is all about manifold vacuum. A 10.5 PV will open when manifold vacuum drops to 10.5", and like wise a 6.5 PV wont open till manifold vacuum drops below 6.5". Fun stuff. High manifold vacuum = idle and cruise where the throttle is barely open, to low manifold...

    Question for Holley experts

    The question mainly regards the secondary side idle circuit. This a 950 double pumper with four corner idle. Engine is 505ci, manual trans, 3.91 gear, cam is 234/240 duration 542/539lift. The engine runs smooth, no stumbles, pulls like a freight train. Idle AFR is low 13's, cruise is mid to...

    Is this a great deal or what?

    I sent a reply to the seller saying this; "Rust free west coast cars are good project cars. This one has potential. But,... I can only go $2500 which is a fair realistic price. My plan is to make it a muscle rat. no body work at all. Let me know." Will he get annoyed or consider the offer...

    Is this a great deal or what?

    Some say dont look at a restoration from the cost point of view, that is just plain stupid. My pockets, like 99% of the rest of the people are not overflowing with money. You must look at how much it will cost and be worth in the end. Throwing away $50k just to do a resto is stupid. I dont know...

    Is this a great deal or what?

    Asking price of $10,000? Prime example of a car that needs $35000 + to do a bare bones restoration, plus the $10k asking price to end up with a $30,000 car when done. Labor not included. Some things just have no value when doing the math. 1971 Roadrunner

    Modifying the console for aftermarket shifter.

    The A518 family of transmissions are longer by a couple of inches then the 727. That puts the tail/yoke a little further down from where it would be on a 727. The tail of the trans has to come up to get the pinion angle correct again. Lots of floor modification to get it right. Cutting/trimming...

    Modifying the console for aftermarket shifter.

    I can not use the stock console shifter from the 72 Satellite with the 46re transmission. Just no room for it in the tunnel. I can get a cable shifter through the hole and to the trans. I need some ideas or from experience what shifter will work well with the stock console? Modifying the new...

    Ignition coils? Spend big or go cheap?

    Using the ignition control in the FiTech EFI. They do not state any specific type of coil.

    Ignition coils? Spend big or go cheap?

    My big yellow Accel Super Coil is dead. I was planning to use it on my 540 Hemi build. I have a box of standard cylinder style coils. They all read good, and all are old, not going to put one of them on a new build. The only thing I wont buy is anything MSD. MSD anything dies in two years. The...

    Fabricating Kick Down Link (340 to a Torqueflite 904)

    What I would do is make slotted extension to the stock rod first. Get some flat stock, slot one end, make a hole in the other end and bolt it together. Then you will see what length is ideal. You will know exactly how much rod to add. I take it you can weld right?
