Have a 74 Charger with a 400. Normally alternator needle sets steady about in middle of gauge. Last Friday took it to a local show about 10 miles away. On the way there, needle moved clear over towards C, like it was charging a ton. When I got back, looked for any loose connections but found...

Got a 74 Charger with Rally dash. Clock and temperature gauge don't work, along with a few lights. My ordering me a quartz conversion for clock for Christmas (she likes look of clock) so I'll be taking the dash apart. Can you check if a gauge is bad when it's out of the car? Not big on...

Trying to do my first camshaft replacement after a lifter/pushrod/cam failure. It's a 74 400 block if that matters. Getting it all tore down, I got to the camshaft. After struggling to get the old cam out for about 20-30 minutes, it dawned on me it would probably be easier if the fuel pump...

I contacted Lunati for a suggestion on a cam to match my current engine components. I believe I have a lifter problem and hate the cam I have now (Edelbrock Performer RPM I think). Here is Lunati's suggestion and specs. Voodoo Hydraulic Flat Tappet 10230701 Advertised Duration (Int/Exh)...

The Charger was driving good until last night. Took it for a drive and first 5 miles or so were fine. I pulled up to a stop sign at a busy road and as I started to accelerator, there was a few pops that came from the carb. Never done this before. I'm not taking WOT acceleration here, just...

Electrical is far from my expertise and can't figure this one out. Took the 74 Charger for a test drive and noticed the blower fan was not working. It was last fall. Quick check found the number 7 fuse blown, which says it's for the heater/AC blower motor. The car originally had AC but is...

Doing a little research on tuning my carburetor, I found this article. http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/1202phr-10-biggest-carb-mistakes/ One thing that struck me odd was a statement in there on carb adapters. Edelbrock’s Stinson says: “If the customer has a spread-bore like a GM...

I recently had an issue with my 74 Charger SE drivers window. A few days ago I shut the door and the window rocked back. Tearing it apart, I found that the rear attaching bolt had fallen out. I replaced that and greased things up while I was in there. However I found the following two items...

Looking for general opinion on this. My factory water temp gauge is not working so I bought one from Auto Meter. In the installation instructions, they mention that if you don't have easy access to a water passage, to install this in your heater hose. They also sell a kit for this. This got...

Been struggling to get my factory water temperature gauge working in the 74 Charger. One option I'm exploring is adding a secondary after market gauge in addition to the factory one. Reading through several older posts, if seems there should be a "plug" in the top of the water pump to remove...

Not sure if this should be in this forum or heating/cooling. Winter is here in the rust belt, so time to tinker with the car while it's in the garage. Late this fall, took the 1974 Charger for a drive over to shoreline about 20 miles away. Grand Haven for the Michiganders. Thunderstorm...

I have a 1974 Dodge Charger SE with the factory dual exhaust that needs work. It appears the gasket is leaking between the pipe and right manifold, but can see it's been replaced before. Also, tail pipe is bent and hitting on left side above axle. Both pipes have been butchered by current...

Hoping to get a little help out there or maybe educated a bit. I recently purchased a 74 Charger SE with only 61K miles. I thought it would fry the tires off the car but actually doesn't, it just accelerates quickly. I'm currently playing with carb tuning and this may be the key but the rear...
