Messing around with the new drone... Decided to see if it could follow the Charger around. Gotta say, it looks pretty cool. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope...

1970 charger with a 383. I’ve taken the valve covers on and off and changed gaskets about 6 times now and I’m looking for this next time to be the last. both valve covers were leaking from the rear of the block by the firewall so I pulled them off and replaced them with the cork gasket. That...

I have a 383 in my 70 charger. It’s a little ratty but hey it runs! Cold idle is about 85 PSI on a brand new mechanical gauge. Once it gets warm, idle is about 40psi which I’m fine with. Anything over 2000 rpm it jumps back to 80. I bought a oil pressure regulator from the 440 source. Does...

1970 Charger with 383. Wiring is in OK shape but never given me this issue before. Only thing I did differently before this issue popped up was drove over some rough roads and surfaces. Got it home and went to start it a little later and the key went to start and voltmeter dropped to 0 but...

This is what my oil pressure gauge read on the freeway at 2300 RPM. It pretty much jumps to 80 any time I'm on the gas. Sometimes it goes above 80. Is this normal? Idle is about 20PSI. I know the motor has a more aggressive cam but I think that's about it. Also what do you guys recommend for an...

Cant tell if the oil pan is supposed to be slightly indented where the bolts go or if it’s supposed to be completely flat. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in on this

Very minor wear that I can feel with my fingers, but enough to make me know it’s there. Any recommendations for a replacement? Also anyone want to steer me in the direction of a good pinion seal? Thanks 1969 8.75 rear 742 case

Only was able to get 7.5 full rotations of a lug nut on the studs... The wheel is flush on the rotor. I'm used to getting more than that... If need be I can get longer studs but I'm just seeing what everyone else has come across in their experience.

Anyone running the right stuff disc brake kits? Front rotors/calipers are ok, rear setup is a little uhhhh... odd. I sent them these pictures and they assured me it was "standard". In all my years of wrenching I have never seen an overlapping brake pad. What do you guys think? I think I'm going...

hey everyone, installing the right stuff rear disc setup on my ‘70 charger with an 8.75 rear end. Looks like I’ll have to shorten the rear brake lines that cane with the kit (go figure, nothing is “plug and play”) to attach them to the flex hoses that connect to the banjo bolt. Can you guys send...

Looking for a power steering pump for my 1970 Charger with a 383. If you have hoses or whatever else let me know! Thanks. PM me if you got it!

Leaky pinion seal on a 742 case 8-3/4. Got the seal at home. Do I have to replace the shims when I replace the seal? Or does it depend on the thickness of the seal? Sorry for the noob question... never done a pinion seal. I got the service manual for my car at home but I won't be back until...

I posted all my progress on my build thread but I wanted to reach out in a separate thread to see what you guys think. Just put the trunk pan in my '70 charger... its welded in and good to go (or it will be after some seam sealer this weekend). Sprayed some POR-15 over the bare metal welds...

I have a build thread but I figured I'd reach a wider audience here asking this question. Wire wheeling and media blasting some problem areas on the rear of the car I found some of this stuff: some tiny pinholes: I can weld these up the worst side is the passenger side: this is right...

Honestly I am very scared and apprehensive of doing this myself because I am not a body guy... I am a drivetrain guy. But I'm getting out of my comfort zone and learning a new skill here (hopefully). Pretty sure the trunk pan got replaced in this car when it got repainted (Early 2000's), but the...

1970 charger with a 383 and 727. Center console shifter. I’ve read so far about the “reverse lockout” where the key only comes out in reverse, and I’ve read about issues related to the linkage but my linkage seems to be ok? I’ve tried pushing the shifter in different directions while in each...

Bought a 8.75 suregrip to replace the rear end in the ‘70 charger. Replaced axle seals and sealed up the pumpkin with some of the good gasket maker and no leaks from those parts. But the pinion seal seems to be leaking. Is it as simple as impacting the nut off with the yoke assembly, taking the...

ok I'm at a loss. I've searched the web. I am trying to adjust the shift points for my 727 so that I'm not revving so high. 1-2 gear is really screaming. 2-3 is just insane. I think I'm almost red lining the motor when I shift to third. I thought there was supposed to be some sort of linkage...

I introduced myself here in the welcome section a couple weeks ago but I think it's time for a build thread. I've rebuilt motorcycle engines and done a few engine and transmission swaps on some late 60's cadillacs and 80's chevys but this is my first mopar I've ever owned. So I figured it would...

Here's a brief story of how I got this car. I've always wanted a charger ever since watching the Duke boys as a little kid. My friend owns a General Lee (one of the ones from the autotrader commercials) and down at the brewery one day a guy came up and they started talking. He mentioned that his...
