Update: absolutely nothing has changed. I haven’t done s*** with the car since January. How sad. I’ve had a lot going on and I had some other higher priority projects I had to take care of - along with work and all the other things life throws at you. Good news is my 2.5 year old daughter has...

Ok I had some time to get the wiring harnesses disconnected from the firewall and out of the car. I left the one in that goes to the headlights - they've never given me any issue... if it ain't broke don't fix it. Now I'm just waiting to find time to check the continuity of the wires and repair...

well when I got the car in 2018, it started up and ran just fine. I reconnected the tach and I had to repair a few electrical connections but nothing major..... so pretty much nothing since 2018. Guess I was on borrowed time

That would be great

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I can't tell you how helpful this information is. Once I get some free time (hopefully this weekend) I will devote some time to seeing if I can trouble shoot this. To the guys remarking on how messy the engine bay is: I know... I know... My goal was just to get it running...

Hello! So this car has been a work in progress for quite some time. I bought it in 2018 and haven't had the space or time to do all the things I'd like to - such as clean up the engine bay and clean up the ratty wiring- but I did get the rusty trunk pan replaced, new rear end, all new disc...

right? when I was a kid i couldn't even imagine having the stuff kids have now. Now i'm just a big kid with big kid toys haha

Thanks ! Was able to find a wide road nearby.

Messing around with the new drone... Decided to see if it could follow the Charger around. Gotta say, it looks pretty cool. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope...

Update: I really don’t want to use any kind of sealant but it looks like it’s going that way. A friend suggested using a cork and my felpro gasket together. So I put the cork on first, then the felpro, then the valve cover. It’s still leaking. Not AS much but when I touch the back of the head I...

What a busy weekend, I had some time to pull the covers and see what’s going on. The gaskets were dry except for around where the bolts go on the last 1/3 of the head - towards the rear of the motor. I checked the level of my valve covers with a straight edge and they were fine. I checked the...

Wow lots of replies ! Thank you everyone for your advice, I truly truly appreciate it. I’ll let you know what happens next weekend if I get some time to work on it. I’ll be ordering some parts $$$&&

1970 charger with a 383. I’ve taken the valve covers on and off and changed gaskets about 6 times now and I’m looking for this next time to be the last. both valve covers were leaking from the rear of the block by the firewall so I pulled them off and replaced them with the cork gasket. That...

Good info. I’ll be bringing it down a bit and seeing if that changes anything. I don’t like it bouncing off the high end of the gauge. I’m using 10w30. I thought about going to a 5w30

Got it, thanks. Just the help I needed. I just want to bring it down a little bit. When it’s cold and I’m under throttle it bounces off 100 psi. I don’t like that

My understanding was it fits on the stock oil pump. Which I have. This is the adjustable part that replaces the spring: http://store.440source.com/Adjustable-Oil-Pressure-Regulator/productinfo/200-1093/ maybe I’m just looking at the oil pump wrong I just can’t figure out where the spring goes

I have a 383 in my 70 charger. It’s a little ratty but hey it runs! Cold idle is about 85 PSI on a brand new mechanical gauge. Once it gets warm, idle is about 40psi which I’m fine with. Anything over 2000 rpm it jumps back to 80. I bought a oil pressure regulator from the 440 source. Does...

All good, thanks for the feedback. Got a good plan for when the rain quits

Volts, its part of a 3-pod autometer setup I put in the car (water temp, voltage, and oil pressure). Haven't tested anything with an electrical tester yet.

Ha ha! This picture was actually from the day I first saw the car and pulled it out of the guys back yard ... it doesn't look much better today but it is a little cleaner ha ha. Thanks for the info guys, I'll do that this weekend if it doesn't rain. California actually got some rain for once
