    PO hackjob

    Hey all, Here are some pictures from underneath my ‘72 Coronet. The floors rotted out under the rubber mat just under the pedals, and someone spliced in the rearmost portion of the front driver’s side frame rail from an orange car. The welds look terrible to me, so I’m asking... how screwed am...

    Have I made the worst mistake of all time?

    Hey all. I've been debating posting this for a couple of months (seriously) but just about anything I've tried hasn't worked, except for one last-ditch effort coming in the mail (more on this later)... '72 Coronet. I was working on swapping my column shift steering column out for a floor shift...

    Brake Questions, '72 B-body

    Hello all, I hope you're doing well and keeping warm in your garages! :) I've *almost* finished replacing the 8.25 rear with an 8.75. Got new HD springs, pieces from Firm Feel, etc. I'm feeling really good about my progress. However, I have a couple of questions: The rubber brake line from...

    Leaf spring help?

    Hi all, I hope you’re doing well! ‘72 Coronet, 8 1/4 rear. I’m trying to get the rear and leaf springs out for wagon leaves and 8 3/4, and I’ve managed to remove the rear shackles and disconnect the shocks. Working my way forward, I get to the front leaf spring bolts, and they ain’t moving. I...

    Grease for pedal shaft?

    Hey all, I hope you're doing well! I'm slowly working my way through converting the Coronet from a 904 to an 833. Began the pedal swap last weekend. Got the previous (short) pedal shaft out, dropped the bigger automatic brake pedal. Then realized the previous pedal shaft was covered in this...

    Where's the difference?

    Hey all, I hope you're doing well! Quick question; this pertains to a '71-up B-body. The '71 Charger wheelbase is 115". The '71 Coronet wheelbase is 118". Where are those three inches located on the car? (in before "between the wheels" comments) :) The reason I ask is I bought a set of...

    Wagon Rear in Sedan?

    Just curious- I'm building a '72 Coronet sedan, and the measurements for the spring perches are the same between wagons and sedans. However, the overall width of the wagon rear is a couple of inches wider. I want to run the same size wheel and tire on all four corners, but I'm considering a...

    Door striker tool?

    Hello all, I hope you're doing well! I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find an answer... With door adjustment, I keep running into the need for a "door striker tool", but that a Torx bit would work... does anyone know off hand which size Torx to use? I know it's bigger than a T40...

    Silly question...

    ...I've tried to search on Google but only get answers about cars with computers, so I figured I'd go to the experts! :) Why do some engines take longer to fall back to idle speed after you give it some revs? For instance, with race engines, you hit the gas and it falls back to idle almost...

    Upper Steering Column Bearing Help???

    Hey all, I have a quick question. I'm trying to convert my '71 Coronet to a floor shift. I have the proper collars and a factory shop manual, but had a hell of a time removing the upper steering column bearing and its rubber sleeve. I managed to get it out but mangled them both pretty badly...
