Ok so I put everything back in and double checked I connected each spark plug wire onto each spark plug and I only adjusted the carb accelerator pump lever from the middle hole to the top hole like it was before and it fired up. I had to still jump the relay bc still something wrong there...

I was wondering if anyone has installed modern bench seat from a challenger or charger in old muscle car and how easy it is or what the best way to install and is it better to keep stock side panels or just install ones from modern car. I’m thinking of installing bucket modern seats from charger...
I was wondering if I could buy a 73-74 mounting kit for steering column and it all bolts will interchange with 71. I think the only difference might be firewall gaskets which I already have new.
I am trying to figure out what the part is called and if anyone sells them new. 1971 Plymouth roadrunner. The part is about the instrument cluster and attached to the dash. It is black trim bezel piece. Mine is cracked.
