    Red glow behind VR

    Charging seems to be okay, but when running there is a “red low” behind VR. I don’t run it long, and red glow is almost instant. I don’t remember a led there. 1968 Charger, 383

    Keep burning Voltage Regulators

    1968 Charger. Replace points with electronics. Replaced alternator. Checked connections. Ballast resistor read 0.3 on multimeter. But I keep burning voltage regulators. Why?

    How do I determine value of my '68 Charger?

    It is currently being brought back to good working order with some rust. It is licensed and insured and can be driven. If I wanted to get away from it, how would I determine the value? I have approx. $10,000.00 in repairs and parts over the last year, and I purchased it over 20 years ago with...

    One socket keeps blowing bulbs

    I have a reverse light that keeps blowing bulbs. Eye balling the socket and things seem okay. Put a new bulb in, and first time it gets actuated, it blows? Suggestions?

    Centrifugal Advance vs. Vacuum Advance

    On my '68 Charger, 383 4bbl, mild cam, Edelbrock 1406 carb. The vacuum advance is attached to "ported" side (passenger side when looking from front) per instructions of an individual who has worked on Mopar for years. The "manifold" port is blocked. A few questions: 1. What RPM does...

    Old wiring and connections

    That is what got me yesterday. I tried to start my '68 Charger. It spun over once, so I turned off the key and tried it again. Nothing, even though I could see the voltage draw on the gauge. Checked wires to battery - tight. Checked wires to starter relay - tight where they bolted on. Checked...

    Vacuum connection

    '68 charger with 383, factory A/C, with mild cam, hyd lifters, and Edelbrock 1406. If I use the vacuum connection for headlights on intake to measure vacuum, would I get the same readings as connecting to the vacuum for distributor for adjusting the carb? The hose for the vacuum gauge is too...

    Idle RPM

    What should the idle RPM be for a '68 Charger, A/C factory installed? I've read 500 in some areas, and 700 in others. Thanks!

    '68 Charger Horns

    Currently inop. I did light test (from horn wire connector to ground) and light comes on when horn button is pushed. So thinking that the horns were inop, bought new horns (5 amp). Same problem as old horns. I can hear the relay "click", but no sound. I followed steps as outlined in manual, and...

    '68 383 2bbl to 4bbl (Edelbrock)

    1968 Charger has me stumped

    Engine misses at 35 mph and carb backfires on acceleration. Plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor are new. I replaced points with a module and changed the coil (and ballast resistor for fun). It's a 383 changed to 4bbl with a mild cam. Bored 0.40 over, flat top pistons. Heads have hardened seats to...

    Unofficial Observation

    It seems that the Germans are using more station wagons now than years ago. Like we embraced the station wagon in the 1950's. And I always thought that the Europeans were futuristic on car models. Are we going to see the SUV, Cross-over, Mini-van usage decrease in the US?

    Early symptoms of coil breaking down?

    My '68 charger has had a problem with engine missing at 35 mph and backfire when accelerating. Points are adjusted correctly and timing is correct. Plugs and wires test good. Could my problem be that the coil is in early signs of breaking down?

    68 Charger Headlight Door Actuators

    I am installing electric headlight door actuators. I finally got some time to work them in. I'm tapping off the low beam light wire to supply power to "open", and running a wire to the start block terminal for power to "close". I would like to put an in-line fuse in the wire to the start...

    A good source for constant power?

    I am installing electronic actuators for head light doors on '68 Charger. It has three wires for connecting. Return Dimmer switch and third is for a "constant" power. I can do return (ground), and can tap the wire to the dimmer switch (provides power to open doors), but what is a good place to...

    '68 fuel sending unit

    I measured resistance and it shows 80. I know there is fuel in tank. I am asking for confirmation that maybe the sending unit needs replacement. Thanks!

    When is "too much" restoration????

    In my "new member" post, I have a couple of pics of my ride. And it is not an R/T. All bushings are being replaced. New rear springs (one broke). New fuel tank, tires, seals, rubber (hoses and tires). Replacement A/C is to be done later. The problems with the body on this 50 year old is...
