    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    If this was a year and model that was super sought after and highly collectible then it’d be a no brainer, but yeah I mean it’s a bare bones 73 lol, not many people knockin doors down for that elusive 150 hp 318 lol. The next target though is to do it affordably and keep the process well thought...

    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    Honestly that’s kinda what I was thinking... I am in the understanding that it will never be a show car, but I’m gonna get next to nothing if I try to sell it. I just want to make it that 20 footer that runs, stops, and sounds nice I guess

    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    Thank you all for the links to other cars I appreciate it. There’s a few tempting ones in there, especially the white one in Seattle! I think budget to get a good rolling car is around 5-6,000. I’ve got more time then money right now, so putting the car back together sounds great, just not...

    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    I’ve been looking locally for a donor car to fix mine as well but have come up dry. Honestly, for ignorance sake on my part and plain curiosity, where would one look to find a fairly nice driving 73 BB car? I like the idea of getting one and using mine as a donor, I just haven’t found anything...

    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    Yeah I’ll be honest, I wasn’t planning on spending 15,000 on body work no. At the end of the day it’s a plain Jane 73 charger, nothing special at all, just means a lot to me. Time really isn’t an issue. At the end of all this, she doesn’t have to be a trailer queen or anything like that, but I...

    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    For the cam I’ve got the comp cams xe268h ready for it. Doing some research though I wish I would have bought the 275h instead, has a better sound to it.

    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    I think it’s that brine solution they de-ice with now that killed the body. One of the state highway guys said to get that stuff off ASAP or it’ll eat your car away. Guess who learned that a few years to late lol... the freeze plugs have rotted. I’ve got eyes on a few of them and once I cleaned...

    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    Last picture is of the K frame that will need to be replaced or fixed. Definitely has seen better days. I’ll certainly take you up on the offer for guidance/knowledge about the wiring. I’d like to find a complete wiring kit for the whole car, that way I can go bit by bit and lay it in there...

    Looking to redo my 73 Charger

    Ive got a 73 Charger I’ve had since I was 19, it was my first car, been in the family from the show room floor. Nothing fancy, 318 with bench seats and non ralleye gauges, not flashy but it’s cool. I was thinking about selling it as I haven’t done anything with it in years and it needs some...

    73 Charger Fuse Block

    Hey guys, I've done some calling around to local parts stores and searched online and have had a hell of a time finding a replacement fuse block for up under by dash for my Charger. My current block is melted and rusting badly. Does anyone happen to know where I can find just the replacement...

    Ignition Starter Switch Problems

    Thank you for giving me a trouble shooting guide step by step for my existing problem. Im going to try all these out and see what happens. The reason I sound like I have no direction, is because I dont.. and I'm relying on helpful and willing people who have done this numerous times and have...

    Ignition Starter Switch Problems

    Will I need to do that even if I can put the key into the ignition in the starting position and jump the starter solenoid with a screw driver and get the motor to crank?

    Ignition Starter Switch Problems

    Another update: I re-installed the new ignition switch, I tried starting it with the column apart and sure enough it worked. I put the column all back together, tightened everything up really well, and tried it again, got nothing... I took it apart once more and tried putting it back together...

    Help with steering column

    Got the bearing back in, it went in with some light tapping no problem! And I also learned the hard way, as mine went full force in reverse into a pile of pallets

    Help with steering column

    If the bearing pictured is the column bearing, then yes I disconnected it from what it was attached to thinking that that was what was holding the column in place. This is my first time getting into this so I really am learning as I go. I believe I have corrected the shifter problem. When I put...

    Ignition Starter Switch Problems

    Quick update, I took the steering column apart again and re-installed the old ignition starter switch. I got absolutely nothing again, just like when I installed the new switch. Im going to trace the wires from the switch to the coupling, then from the coupling to I guess the solenoid and where...

    Help with steering column

    Hey there, I had to pull the column out of my 73 charger 318 the other day to replace the starter switch, and so I disconnected what I believe to be the lower column bearing to the shifter tube that is on the steering shaft under the hood. (Apologies ahead of time for calling these components...
