    Strange brake light issue

    I have a strange issue where my left rear brake light and signal light isn't working. The front left signal works fine. The trail lights are fine too. I checked the bulbs and the ground, they are good. What would cause this issue on just one corner?

    Sloppy manual steering

    I'm hoping to confirm what I think is the cause of my sloppy steering in my '69 Charger. All steering components and ball joints are new, steering coupler is good. I removed the steering box and adjusted the worm gear following the procedure in the manual - it was a bit loose, so that was...

    Part throttle bog

    Just rebuilt the carb on my Charger (383), and also changed the intake manifold gasket to block the exhaust cross-over, hoping to eliminate my vapor lock issues. For the carb, it's an Edelbrock 650 AVS and I used the Edelbrock kit, following the instructions word by word. Getting the car back on...

    Vacuum advance issues

    I had some surging at cruise. Thought it was a fuel issue and ruled that out. Then I disconnected the vacuum advance and the problem went away. What's the deal with that? I didn't change anything on the car and did notice that the surging got progressively worse in recent weeks. Does that signal...

    Aftermarket Gauges

    I'm installing a 3-gauge set with mechanical oil pressure and water temp on a '69 Charger. Curious where everyone is running the lines. Quickly peeking under the hood, i don't see a good spot, so before spending a bunch of time exploring, i'm wondering what others have done? I'm not opposed to...

    Squeaky steering column

    My 69 Charger with manual steering has a squeak in the column, sounds like in the lower portion in the engine compartment. It sounds kind of like dried or a tight rubber bushing. Besides the squeak, everything else seems fine. Can it be lubed or is there something that needs to be replaced?

    Bump steer

    My 69 Charger drives straight, doesn't pull and no vibration in the steering wheel. It's all stock front end components except fast ratio pitman arm and idler arm. I had a recent wheel alignment and asked the guy to try and get it to the top end of spec in terms of negative caster. Still, when...

    Grind into 2nd

    I've got the a833 in my 69 Charger. I fully rebuilt the unit about three or four thousand miles ago. Lately I've noticed some grinding into second. Seems to get better as the trans warms up. Last season it shifted great, no grinding what so ever. When cold it's also generally difficult to get...

    Advice needed on 383 motor

    I came across a '70 383 HP motor for sale at a good price. It's a low mile rebuild. 30 over with a cam, offenhouser intake, Holley carb, etc. The part that I'm concerned about is that the owner says it has 12.5:1 TRW Pistons. I want to run pump gas, so it's that going to be a problem? After...

    Factory oil pressure gauge

    I had an aftermarket oil pressure gauge in my 383 charger and decided to go back to stock. I bought a new sender and the gauge in the dash tested okay, but when all reconnected, the highest pressure it reads is 20lbs. My aftermarket gauge shows normal pressure readings. Anyone experience this...

    What's normal vacuum?

    I have a '70 383, 60 over with an RV cam and Edelbrock 650 carb, otherwise stock. What's considered 'normal' vacuum for an engine like this? I'm getting around 15 inches at 600 RPM, is that okay? Gauge says 20 is normal...

    Shroud for 26' rad

    I'm running a factory 26" rad in my Charger, and I'd like to get a shroud for it. Does anyone know if there is a universal shroud that would work, or one from another, more common model that could easily be adapted to work? I know repos are available, but hoping to find something cheaper that...

    DIY Electronic Ignition

    I'm going to price out putting together my own electronic ignition conversion. I want a new distributor, what model year should I shop for - anything 73-78? It's for a 383.

    Engine stumble

    Not sure where this belongs, could be fuel or electrical, but I have a stumble that stalls the car. It's a 383 HP. Stock with exception of a RV type cam and edelbrock 650 AVS carb. It has an old accel electronic ignition box and distributor. The problem is that during normal acceleration the...

    Edlebrock carb issue?

    I have an AVS 650 on an 70 383HP motor, all stock with exception of an RV cam. Everything is new, fresh rebuilt and new carb. With heavy throttle around a corner, the car is either starved for fuel or foods, either way, it dies for a second like a back-fire (without the pop) and goes again. Only...

    Master Cylinders

    I'm converting to front disks from an a-body with the 2.75" calipers and 11' rotors. I want to stick with a manual system. To confirm, the 15/16 note master is the better choice over a 1 1/32', correct? If so, the only factory master I can find in that size is from an a-body with power brakes...
