It's been a while so I can't recall my cable sizes off hand but I believe I was conservative and went a little larger than necessary. A hot starter sounds plausible. I have a mini starter and TTI headers. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this combination. Perhaps I need to wrap my headers?
I have noticed that if I try to restart my engine immediately after driving it doesn't want to start. The starter isn't continuously turning the motor. It's almost as if I have a dead battery. The longer I wait the better it is. To me this indicates vapor lock. Would you guys agree? I...
I trimmed down the back of mine so it would sit lower. The tunnel is narrower than the modern challenger. It also allows you to use the side mounting holes. I installed some rivnuts in the tunnel at the front and into the bracket at the rear. The front was more difficult to figure out. I...
Ditto on what 70Chall440 said. He's been a big help on my build. Take a look at a couple build threads here on the forum. At the very least it'll give you some ideas. Also start putting together a budget. You don't want to get too far into it and then realize you don't have the funds to...
I like your shifter adapter. I need to redo mine. It's in a great position for shifting, but it hits cups in the cup holder. I can't quite decide how I want to fix it though. Raising it up higher will make it too high for my tastes. I might have to switch to a ball shifter, but I love the...
Ok, yeah those are the style that are on the canister side. I've managed to keep them mostly intact. I'm guessing the PO wasn't as careful with the ones on the tank.
Fair point, but there weren't any on the old tank and never had an issue. Plus they're just vents, so there shouldn't be any pressure, but obviously that's not the case.
So if you recall a few posts earlier I was having issues with my fuel vapor tank and my fuel tank puking gas. I ended up taking it off and just routing the lines into the fender with nothing on them. Today I filled the tank up (over 20 gallons) got home and it did the same thing. This time I...
It's a 489 case 8-3/4. I bought all the parts from Dr. Diff and brought them to the shop for installation. The next two times, the shop bought their own gears and bearings.
So no surprise, but the rear end is singing again, now on its third set of gears (and bearings). This time it's mostly on coasting, but it's noisy at other times as well. I essentially paid a shop to do it twice. The third time they covered the cost, but they obviously can't get the job done...
The diff shop checked out the rear and everything looked fine, but obviously it wasn't. They put a new set of gears in and all new bearings. Let's hope it holds this time.
I had a new problem later in the day though. My tank vent lines were puking fuel. As soon as I popped the fuel cap it...
I figured out the weird noise was my exhaust had shifted and was touching my suspension mounts. Easy fix, but on the test drive the rear end started roaring under load. I only went for about 5 miles, but when I got home the rear end was very hot. I opened up the fill plug and smoke started...
I got everything put together on the switch. It's in a nice spot where I can reach it, but not see it.
Now that the radio is in and all the pieces are working, that's the end of what I wanted to do initially with my swap. I've still got plenty to do, but it's something crossing off the...
I bought a cheap switch for my antenna. Now when the antenna fails to deploy, I toggle the switch on and off and it works. I can also lower the antenna when I'm only using maps or streaming from my phone and don't need it.
I found a spot under the dash next to the steering column to hide it...
I got the car back from the AC shop today. They created custom lines for me and charged the system. Now I just need to wait for a hot day to test it.
It has also come to my attention that there should be a clip to hold the mixing valve cable to the lever arm on the HVAC arm. I'm not one of...
