    904 "sometimes" shifts into drive

    Hello all, I have a 68 904 that I rebuilt and put in a 1972 Charger. I replaced all the seals, bands, and clutches. I pressure checked everything after rebuilding and all seemed good. Now I am having an issue where it will shift 1-2 perfect, but only 2-3 sometimes? It'll shift 2-3 in the...

    U Joint Clip clip clarification.

    Hi I have a 1972 Charger. On my way to work today the U joint failed. One cap must've come off when I was on the highway and it immediately started vibrating. I limped it to the shoulder and actually made it to the next exit ramp and into a parking lot where the driveshaft finally fell off at...

    Column shift linkage

    Hi everyone. So I'm putting my 1972 Charger back together after rebuilding the trans and engine. When I got this car I found out the original trans (1972 A904) had been replaced with a 1968 A904. I'm assuming the cases of each are the same? I'm missing some of the original column shifter...

    Caliper problems

    Hi. I’m redoing the brakes and front end on my 72 Charger. Ok so I took this apart awhile ago and I’m having trouble getting the calipers situated correctly. First, they are rear mounted calipers? Otherwise I have the spindles on the wrong sides. Second, I am having a hard time installing the...

    Relays and fuses?

    Hi. I'm gonna add some relays for the high draw blower, headlights, etc. I still have the stock set-up on my 72 Charger. I'm using a through the firewall main positive stud for power to the dash harness and I had bypassed the ammeter in the past. I'm using a one wire alt wired directly to that...

    Fuel return line

    Hi I have a question about running a fuel return line. I just installed a 5.9L (truck) magnum in my 1972 Charger. I am using an electric fuel pump since the newer magnum has no eccentric for a mechanical pump. I have a regulator with a fuel return line that I want to run. I've routed all new...

    Amount of oil in the pan?

    Hi. I'm installing a new oil pickup and oil pan in a 360 magnum swap. The service manual reads that the pump pick up needs to be a certain distance from the bottom of the pan? Is this so it clears or so it is always covered with oil? (I know it needs to be covered in oil) How much oil is...

    1972 Charger Frame rust and rot

    So awhile ago I posted a question asking how much it would cost to have some frame repair done. After hearing the responses I was left with the option of either abandoning this car or tackling it myself due to the cost. I had taken a welding class years ago but that's it. So I bought a welder...

    AAR Cuda radiator?

    Hi. So my 1972 Charger has this obviously not original to the Charger radiator in it? Could this really be a 1970 AAR Cuda piece? I’m certainly not thinking I’ve stumbled on a gold mine here but if it is I could sell it and use the money for tires or something else that I really need. It looks...

    Crankshaft carnage

    So my 318ci had a knocking. Surprisingly it didn’t sound horrid, but sadly was damaging. This is the picture of what a spun rod bearing looks like. I can’t help wonder if the broken bits of valve stem seals that had almost completely covered the oil pickup had a hand in this. When started it...

    Trico wiper arm repair

    Hi all Is it possible to repair a broken side stud? Looks like I just drill out the slug and press the stud/mount out. Seems easy enough. Where could I buy a new stud? Or do they even sell them? A new/used passenger arm is selling for half a Benjamin on eBay so I’d like to repair this if I...

    Battery Voltage reading extremely high!

    Hi all. So I have a 1972 Charger that when purchased it had an entirely burned wiring harness due to the Alt. From what I've read its a common issue...sadly. Anyway, I removed the entire interior and engine harness and installed a MSD box and single wire Alt, pretty much hot wiring it so I could...

    Newbie with a 72

    Hi! I’ve have other collectors, but this is my first B body. I picked in up last December on the cheap due to the alt melting the engine and dash harness. I’ve gotten it started by hot wiring it and have sourced new wiring that I just need to install. The 318 runs strong and even started last...
