So I restored the AC system on the 69 Charger myself. I brought in an AC technician to check it out and charge it up. So last weekend we pressure and vacuum tested the system. Everything is new or rebuilt. The system tested so no leaks once I found good quality R134 adapters and the right O...

So I’m looking at my 69 Charger (the Brown one in the photo) and thinking a stripe would look good (as it always does). I notice the kits out there seemed to all include the RT badge or 500. As my car was neither (and not wanting to be pretentious), I was wondering if all Dodge installed...

Hi gang, Working on a 69 Charger. Replaced a master cylinder and new front brake lines that were looking iffy. The brakes are stock front disc / rear drums. I’ve bled the system 3 times with a quart of brake fluid but still have a soft pedal that will go to the floor. The car stops when...

I’m getting the dash back together on a 69 Charger after re-wiring, replacing the instrument panel, AC box and the master cylinder. I’m being held up by a seemingly simple job. I can’t get the flexible duct to engage the outlet. I’ve tried from below without removing the outlet and the other way...

Finishing up my dash rebuild project. New wiring harness, instrument panel, AC box and radio/speakers are all back installed. I’m still chasing a few last gremlins. I’ve got a bug with the wiring for the panel lights and I think it’s related to the SE special light package. It seems to be wired...

Hey y’all, I’m in the process of installing a carter electric fuel pump to overcome hot startup problems. The pump isn’t intended to run continuously. I’ve installed the wiring to the relay located under the package tray. I have the switch wired to the signal side and will take power from the...

Had fun today. I think I’ve gone as far as I’m gonna go. Now to get it all back together. New instruments, new wiring harness, rebuilt switches, new Rebuilt AC box. Rebuilt heater AC control panel. New brake booster/master. New electric aux fuel pump. Trying to get the original AC working...

So I’m in Deep on my dash project! Goal is new wiring harness, gauges and AC box. Plus a new brake booster while I’m at it. Quick question, is this valve required somewhere? I didn’t find one in the original system. If so, where is it located? I bought a NOS piece but have no idea if it’s...

I’ve started a big dash rebuilding project and want to install a newly rebuilt instrument panel, radio, new wiring harness and the new heater box. I’ve changed these once before but not on a 69 Charger. My forum question, is it possible to get the heater box out without removing the dash? I’m...

So I was out driving my 69 Charger and the car died at ~55mph. The cars brakes became rock hard and getting it stopped took a huge force on the brakes. I had noticed previously the pedal was rock hard when the car wasn’t running. The brakes work fine when the car is running. The master and...

Classic Industries seems to be out of stock, anyone know of an alternate source? I was hoping not to have to switch to a universal kit. thanks in advance

So I’m painting a 69 Charger in silver metallic base. I plan to follow up with a House of Kolor Kandy. First complete car I’ve tried painting. The car is dis-assembled and on a cart for painting. I didn’t really appreciate how hard silver is to paint. Everything on the car has an epoxy primer...

So I have this old motor that came in a barn find 1969 Charger And it was a long way from running. Digging in to it this weekend and found the tappets were ground way down. I assume the cam is also gone. I’m mainly trying to decide if the block is junk or not. I would also like to find a...

For reference, I’ve attached these photos for a reference to anyone installing an OEM AC system. The AC system for the car was in the trunk when I purchase it. I had a lot of trouble figuring this out with few references around. The needed fan belt lengths are included. Anyway one step...

So I was curious if anyone has had any experience getting an original cruise control unit to work or if it was worth it to try. The current unit appears to have been disconnected from the carb and the vacuum line was removed but otherwise appears to be complete. The wiring harness is still in...

Anyone familiar with these Spintech mufflers and low profile stuff? I have a new 4 link setup with crossbar taking up a lot of space. I’d like to keep it flowing out the back of the car. thanks for any info.

The project is moving ahead slowly. I’ve got the trunk and engine compartment in base color along with the panel backs. Then the weather turned to crap. I shot everything with epoxy primer sealer with 20% reducer but that had a million flaws so I sanded the sealer back with 600 grit and it’s...

So just took delivery of a 69 Charger and I’ve inherited the PO’s problems apparently. The alternator is not charging the battery. I swapped out a new looking alternator with a O’reilly unit that worked fine on the tester and made 14.5v. The voltage regulator looks like it was recently...

I bought this T5 69 Charger last week. It’s definitely in driver type condition. Looks like one cheap repaint years ago. Best news is no obvious rust or collision damage. I spent the weekend going over it in detail. Overall I would call it a survivor. The tires are dated 1997 so they need...

So I just bought a 69 Charger AC car. It’s in “Driver” condition so I look forward to driving it vs having another trailer queen. The car is Very original with maybe one repaint decades ago. The car had factory AC. The PO sent me the parts in the trunk including compressor, condensor, lines...
