Hey all, 1966 Charger with a 440 - New Edelbrock 750 AV2 carb. New mechanical fuel pump. - Total rebuild including the transmission. In the garage, it starts and runs great. On the road, until it heats up, it runs great. Run a mile and stop for a bit and it is obviously vapor-locking. The...

Hey all, for what it's worth, I used Visio and re-crafted the 1966 Charger wiring diagrams by tracing and redrawing the map... but with color and gauge-by-line-thickness lines. After rebuilding all 3 of my Charger wire harnesses, my backup lights would not work. Troubleshooting, I found a...

Hey all, It's been a while since I replied to this thread. I wanted to come back to finish the story of this repair. Terry sent me wire... thank you SO much. I got a micro-welder and it worked great. Took a bit of getting a handle on it but I got there. I was able to repair one of the gauges...

Hey all, I put a rebuild kit into my 1966 Charger steering gearbox, but the kit did not come with bearings. I have tightened the gear shaft adjusting screw down but still have some slop. I am unsure if the screw should be adjusted with the engine running or not. The image is before rebuilding...

Hey all, I rebuilt a 440 block and upgraded (so I think) the distributor with a Speedmaster electronic distributor. Problem is, under load, it seems to backfire into the carb implying I am not getting the spark advance I should be getting. The only thing I upgraded was the distributor. Should I...

Hey all, The rebuild of my 1966 Charger is all but done. I am doing shakedown runs and found one interesting thing that I can't figure out what happened. I rebuilt my steering gearbox but I have two issues with it. 1. The steering wheel is 180 out. 2. The steering feels a bit sloppy. I know I...

Hey all, The front chrome spears on my 66 Charger were damaged and I could not repair them. So, I crafted a model and sand-casted replacement spears. Like all sand-castings, they are rough and require some minor grinding followed by sanding, polishing then buffing to a shine. They don't have...

Hey all, Does anyone know the wire gage for the nichrome wire used in the fuel, oil and temp gauges? I want to try to rebuild each but not sure what the wire gage size is. Does 24 gage nichrome wire sound right?

Hey all, I have fully rebuilt my 1966 Charger. I rebuilt the wiring harnesses as well, nose to tail. Everything is up and functioning except the Temperature and Oil Pressure gauges. Both sensors are NEW. I think I should be getting about 5v at the sensors since the wiring diag. shows 5v. What...

Hey all, I am not sure this is the right location for the temp sensor. Can someone verify this?

Hey all, I installed a 440 in my 66 dodge charger. First time I have worked with a 440 block. It has HP exhaust manifolds. Runs great but I am noting steam from second to rear right exhaust bolt. Did I miss something when assembling the exhaust?

Hey all, I rebuilt my 727 trans (66 Charger) when I moved it from the 318 housing to a big block housing. When I put it in gear, it clunks into drive or reverse. Fluid level is good. Wondering if it is a setting. Maybe I need to tighten the bands?!? FYI... I have never rebuilt a trans before...

Hey all, I have a 67 440 with a Edelbrock 750. The pump seems like it is not putting out enough fuel. The engine idles fine. But rev it up and it starts to die. The pump is new but maybe not the right one for this application. The inline filter does not even fill up half full. Suggestions on a...

Hey all, I am looking for the rear glass stainless trim. Just need the lower section. Thanks in advance to all who reply...

Hey all, I have a 1966 Charger that I have been working on for 7 years now. I am ABD... All but done with this car. As some of you know, I have had this car since I was 16... I turn 62 in a few weeks. The interior is done, the engine is done, the exterior is done... except the rear stainless...

Hey all, I have read many posts here and can see I am not the only one struggling with this issue. As a primer, I've had this Charger since i was 16 a towed it around everywhere I went since. I rebuilt this 66 from the ground up over the past 7 years. The steering has new upper and lower...

Hey all, After a trans rebuild (full disclosure, first time I ever rebuilt a trans), I finally have my 66 Charger 440 running. I filled it, started the engine then, with the axle on jack stands, I cycled through the gears. Tires spin forward and reverse. Went through a few times. I put the...

Hey all, A few years ago I rebuilt my 727-A transmission. First time I have ever rebuilt a trans. I happened to find an old training video that took me from start to finish, tear down to assembly. Roll forward a few years (after body work, paint and engine rebuild) and I have the car ready to...

Hey all, My 1966 Charger front fender chrome has some challenges. The LH side was damaged. The RH side was gone. I just finished painting it and could not go back, cut, weld and close all the chrome. So I made a model of what I think are original shapes. And cast new ones in Aluminum...

I have an odd problem I need to bounce off the brain trust. I am just about finished with my full rebuild of my 66' Charger. I rebuilt the dash, body and engine wiring harness... replaced every wire with new color and trace matching wire. No fuses installed yet. All switches in the off position...
