Unless it is a 100 point trailer queen show car, I would not hesitate to upgrade to a dual master. I had one of them fail on me once. It cost me a complete front end. With body work and paint over 2 grand and that was many years ago. I realize there are many other things that can go wrong but...

I went through the same learning curve with my 68 Charger. Glad you got it all straightened out in short order. Good Job! A lot of people think a booster is a booster and don't realize that discs require almost double the boost as drums.

I think you would be happy with the Firm Feel set-up. They copied the factory mounting method from the E body. I have heard some whining about drilling holes in the frame rail but it does not weaken anything since the self tapping bolt fills the hole completely. IMO, it is the hands down winner...

Dave, Just to clairfy the difference between "sprung" and "unsprung" weight. The Firm Feel bar mounted to the frame is actually Sprung weight. (meaning that weight is added to the body and therefore handled by the springs) The bracket mounted to the axle plate actually adds to the Unsprung...

I don't know about the Addco underslung bar but the Firm Feel bar should not interfere with the exhaust. I have the dual 2.5" on my 68 Charger with no possible interference

May have been a one owner car before the shivvy guy that re-built it. He was unaware of the under hood paint scheme. Had no idea where the penta star belonged so glue it to the tail light lens. Questionable aftermarket booster and master but that aggravating exhaust whistle was the most painful...

Disc brakes are an upgrade along with the rear bar. I used the Firm Feel 3/4" rear bar with my stock front sway bar. As hunt2elk said it was a great improvement in handling. There are a couple benefits for the Firm Feel bar in that it is mounted like the factory mounted them on E body cars. Up...

I have spare parts for all three of my old cars. I call them insurance policies. Knowing my luck, I will never need the them since everything that fails seems to be the parts I don't have. However, the spare parts I do have gives me that feel good sensation.

I used to watch those Red Green 1/2 hour stints years ago. They have not been on around here for quite some time. I know he retired years ago but was a funny guy. Lots-a-time spent at the Possum Lodge using his favorite tool. (duct tape)

I have heard the newer orange boxes have a high failure rate. I don't have any newer ones so no real info on them but I do suspect a lot of the complaints are due to the installer not verifying a good case ground. I have seen a ton of complaints on this site and I believe most are due to...

My wife says "To have good neighbors, you have to be one." Thank God, all of ours are good ones. We did have one drug infested couple living across the street for a couple years but they are now both in the "Big" house getting free room and board and a young couple with two kids moved in. All is...

I too experienced this treatment from USPS recently. I ordered a pair of Axle perches. They spent 6 working days in a distribution center before they got tired of moving them from shelf to shelf. Gotta be patient I guess. They will show up though........I hope.

Dumb answer, Adjust-ability

Your car is 40+ years old. If the sway bar is not called out on the build sheet, it is a pretty good bet that the previous owner added it since it is a popular addition. Is there a rear bar also?

Bob at Glen Ray Radiator told me with the engine off and cooled down, give the clutch fan a good spin with a finger, it shouldn't make more than 1 1/2 revolutions before stopping if it is in good shape. First order of business has been mentioned. Get that shroud. By the way, if your clutch fan...

You may want to look into installing a controller like I did to control my dual electric fans. I put dual puller fans on my 6.1 build in my 68 Charger. I installed the relays and wiring but could not stand the constant roar of those fans. I then found Darryl the Auto Cool Guy. He set me up with...

If you don't have bad connections in your bulkhead, you may try to test your plate or pickup coil in the distributor. If you unplug the wires coming out of the distributor, you should get a reading of around 300 ohms between the two wires. Not the only problem but it is a place to start.

Wow! That don't look right for some reason......I have TTI's on my 68 Charger 6.1 swap and mine are only a hair below the transmission pan.

I bought my Leaf springs from Summit Racing. They have a large selection but I got the Super Stocks that match what your car would have had from the factory. I think they were about $250.00 with free shipping.

If you like the stance, leave it alone. Other than that, with those longer shackles, they may need to be re-arched or replaced. I'm pretty sure the stock shackles are 3 1/2" bolt to bolt. Yours appear to be 5 or 6". Factory springs on your car would have had 6 leafs on the left and 7 on the...
