Assuming the car runs fine i would only check oil and coolant if its only 300 miles. :D

Yeah the hemi ain't factory but still a very cool car. :thumbsup: Also looks like you got a bit of working room thanks to the c body platform ^^

Thanks for the confirmation. I will go with 40 ft. lbs :)

Thanks for the tip but i'm not looking to block off the heat riser ports as this is bad for starting in the cold (afaik).

I'm a bit confused because you say right front side of the carb but after some googling i think you mean the thing i marked with a red circle? And if i'm understanding correctly the vaccum line that is connected to that is also connected directly to the carb and i remove it from the carb and...

I will keep using the stock manifold. So what vaccum reading would be good/normal? Also is the port on the carb visible in the picture i attached to the first post?

So on saturday i will finally attempt to change the intake manifold gasket on my 1969 dodge charger r/t with the stock 440. (Had to delay it for lack of time) First question is i bought myself this vaccum gauge: 20300 Vacuum Gauge and Fuel Pump Tester If i want to check the manifold vaccum...

Well this was basically the german version of the corvette c3 and a great summary for united states vs. europe lol :D The opel manta by the way was the german version of the camaro:

No. Unfortunately most of the really interesting shows are pretty far away. I went to another one last weekend but unfortunately about 90% modern cars. Thankfully it was at a gigantic museum so i was still able to see a lot of classic cars and go inside a concorde: US-Car Treffen | Technik...

My first car (that i still have) was a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and maybe someday i get myself a 1971-1972 442 30 or a 1968 442 W30 aswell. :thumbsup:

The left car in the Picture is actually a 1986 Corvette C4 Convertible: They put the body from an Opel Kadett E on top of it and Callaway did some performance upgrades to the engine so it makes 306hp. The Opel Kadett E was basically in the same class as a VW Rabbit and a popular car in...

I bought both fel pro and mahle valley pan gaskets from rockauto because i was worried one might not fit very well. Today i recieved my fel pro gasket and another fel pro gasket in a mahle box. Both gaskets seem to have light wear & tear (like light scratches etc.) on them. Correct me if i'm...

I think it will be a good idea to disconnect the cruise control unit and replace the check valve just to be sure. I just ordered parts but it can take a while until i get them.

Well i already found two vaccum leaks (the intake even leaks on both sides) so i don't think that further diagnosis is needed at this point. I mean sure maybe there is even more wrong but i will start with those two leaks. Personally i don't really expect more to be wrong (timing, carb tuning...

Did they use RTV and/or paper gaskets at the factory? What exactly did the factory use/do?

So i watched a couple videos and these people seem to use RTV together with the gasket: Is this necessary/good? If necessary also if you use the additional paper gaskets or is this basically the alternative to using the additional paper gaskets?

I actually did never check but i know the car is one of the very first built in late 68.

Thanks than i will order 2 of these just in case i screw up... https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=125718&cc=1078961&pt=5424 Also would you guys paint the manifold while off or not? Of course it would make sense to protect it from rust etc. but on the other hand it would take away from...

Agreed. I think the first thing will be replacing the intake manifold gasket and then go from there. Speaking of which should i just order these or get something else? https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=125143&cc=1078961&pt=5424...

I posted some photos in one of my replies: https://postimg.cc/gallery/TwhX4yR Comparing it with a very similar car on mecum it looks stock to me: https://www.mecum.com/lots/1126246/1969-dodge-charger-r-t-se-sunroof/ I just found a company about 80 miles away from me that claims to rebuild both...
