    trying to understand ride height adjustment.

    The fsm for '70 charger on page2-4, step 3 states to measure from lowest point of one adjusting BLADE to the floor (measurement A). The picture shows a cut-away view of the LCA. I'm not understanding what that is. Secondly, the manual does not mention loosening the bolts to the LCA or jacking up...

    Hoo-Ray for Rock-Auto

    Ordered 2 sets of Moog offset bushings K7103 (2 bushings per set) and only received 1 bushing per set. Navigating their website to report the problem was not easy, took almost an hour to figure out the process. Now the good news: 1) They responded via email very quickly to say that the problem...

    Third time is a charm.

    In the middle of replacing the front-end suspension on a '70 charger. Choose Pro-Forged to order the upper ball joints. When they arrived, I took them out to inspect and test fit them. I had read good reviews about these ball joints, on site here, and also bad reviews about Moog replacements...

    Need to confirm if this good or not

    rebuilding front suspension on my '70 charger and I'm a 1st timer doing this. Have read countless threads on this, however, can't find a definitive answer on this question. As you see I have pressed out the inner sleeve and the rubber bushing from the lower control arm. The outer sleeve is still...

    strut rod replacement

    under normal circumstances, do strut rods need to be replaced when bigger torsion bars are replaced. Do the strut rods wear out like TBs?

    11" drum brake question

    I've read thru many of the brake threads and cannot find a definitive answer to this question. I'm in the process of replacing the 3 rubber hoses and fluid. I opened the rear bleed screws to drain those hard lines and then the rear rubber hose. My question is: Shouldn't the forward section of...

    Never too old to learn something even older.

    Learned a new word yesterday. Learned it here reading thru the drum brake threads. The word is "swage", and for about an hour yesterday I was being "swaged" and didn't even know it. If you don't know the meaning of the word, my definition is: Being tricked into thinking that the right front drum...

    A727 NSS

    Can anyone recommend a neutral safety switch that doesn't leak past the white plastic body and comes with a black rubberized metal seal? I've gone thru several in the past 3+ years and it's always the same leak. I'm considering an Echlin because it states that it's made in the US to the same...

    ONE MORE 18 INCH WHEEL QUESTION

    I have read many, many posts on here about wheel and tire sizes, however, most are not about my particular car. I've gone over the 18 inch, gen 2 charger posts endlessly. Before I pull the trigger on this purchase, I'm asking for the final time if those of you who have put 18" wheels on a gen 2...

    Kickdown valve adjustment

    I'm doing normal a/t Maintenance and adjustments. Did band adjustments and I'm checking the adjustments on the valve body. I've looked at the fsm for the line pressure spring location and it's set properly and I've looked at the adjustment for the kickdown valve adjustment. I don't have the...

    Pioneer #768014 neutral safety switch, 3 pin, long

    Has anyone used this nss and if so, what has been your experience. My current one is fairly new and leaking past the plasic part that's inserted in the metal body. It's no doubt the problem as I can wipe it clean and very shortly see more oil seeping thru. This is when the car is sitting and not...

    Installing XV 3 point front seat belts

    I'm installing these front seatbelts on a '70 charger. The interior has long been completed but the original shoulder belts were never mounted. I knew someday I would put in a 3 point system. Today's the day and I would like to confirm where the upper harness gets bolted into. I have attached...

    Mopar 8track/Cassette Options

    I'm asking when did any type of tape player was first offered as an option on mopars. The topic came up in @MoparGuy68 thread about the accuracy of Motor Trend Mag. about the options on his '71 Charger. I never had anything more than a am/fm radio in any of my cars until 1983 when I upgraded my...

    A couple of questions for the A/C Gurus

    Brief history, This is about a 1970 charger I have for 5 1/2 years. It came with factory a/c and has all the pieces. Over the last 1 1/2 years I completely rebuilt the heater/ac box using the great write-up that was available on this site. I have the whole unit installed, however, I don't have...

    Driving car without breather cap

    Just as a test, I'm wondering if the car can be driven without the breather cap installed and not make a big mess in the engine compartment. This is a 383 magnum with original valve covers and the area below the cap is baffled. The pcv will be working as usual. I just want to see if the breather...

    has anyone used 'CarID' to order wheels and tires

    seems like they have a good selection of both wheels and tires. They guarantee fitment to your car, mount and balance, supply new lug nuts, and ship for free. Just wondering if anyone has ordered from them and what the end results were. If you have never heard of this, just google the tire size...

    Advancing crankshaft to camshaft timing

    recently I installed a Lunati 703 cam into 383. Instructions said to install at 106* centerline because cam was already advanced 4*. Did the degreeing of the cam 3x and always came up at 107*. Checked with Lunati and they said that was close enough, however, he would advance it 2*. Since this...

    Can pressure be tested by attaching a vacuum/pressure meter via hose to the oil dip stick tube ? If yes, is zero pressure good ?

    New chain cover causing oil leaks again, 383

    Just completed, successfully, the replacement of the rear main seal. It shows no sign of leakage with the few times I have started the engine and let it idle for 20-30 minutes. Before I would certainly see oil trails coming down by the trans dust cover. I got a ton of advice from the "Official...
