Happy Birthday Mark! Luckily Rebel gave me the heads up.

My tach was acting up this summer intermittently reading 1000 rpm high. I found someone local who can rebuild it. I was told it was located behind the glovebox, but I just checked the factory manual and it indicates it is under the front of the console. Anyone know which is correct before I...

Has anyone ever dropped the engine trans combo out of the bottom of the car using a four post hoist? Could you build a cradle and lower it down onto the cradle, then pull the k frame bolts and raise the hoist?

I said I would start a new thread once I started my new 400 build. By way of background, my Charger is still sporting it's original 361 engine, with a small cam and four barrel intake. The goal is to build a stock stroke 400 which will provide more torque to move the 4000 pound car , while...

Okay how much weight do you have to reduce to internally balance a cast crank engine. The pistons I am looking at for my 400 are 100 grams lighter than stock. Is that enough?

As background I had the original 516 heads on my 361 rebuilt, installed an Edelbrock Performer Plus cam, Performer manifold and 625 street demon carb. I am running factory A/C, stock exhaust manifolds, 2 1/4 dual exhaust, a stock converter and 2.94 gears, all of this wrapped up in 4000 pounds...

I found the issue that caused me to lose fuel pressure on the way to Carlisle. The fuel pump pushrod, which was the original one from the 361, had worn down about 1/4 inch. The fuel pump on the car was a stock style Carter, not a HP one. I bought a new fuel pump pushrod from Mancini's at...

I disconnected the old single pot master today. I went into the car and pulled the brake pedal backwards, and felt the pushrod pop out of the master. I then removed the four nuts under the dashboard holding the master, and my hands look like mincemeat. When I went under the hood and tried to...

I need to remove the power steering pump on my 66 big block Charger to get it resealed. The car has factory air so it is pretty tight. It seems like if I remove to two horizontal bolts through the water pump it should come off bracket and all. If instead I take the two vertical pump bolts out...

I have owned two different factory air conditioned cars, a 69 Barracuda and my 66 Charger. Both came with full undercoating. Lately I have noticed a few ads for cars with factory air and they also had full undercoating. Were these two options tied together or is it just a coincidence?

All of the studs worked loose in my right front brake hub. I am afraid the holes may be too damaged to even use studs with oversized knurls. I am installing a disc brake conversion that reuses the stock hubs. My car is a 1966 Charger. Can anyone tell me what years of 10 inch brake hubs will...

I had a bit of a noise when I drove back from the car show last week. I thought I might have a loose front wheel bearing. I decided to check them today and found that the bearings were fine, but all of the studs on the right front were loose in the hub. I noticed some black dust on the rim...

I recently replaced my spare tire on my 66 Charger with a more modern one. In looking at the stock 14 inch wheel I noticed that it appears to have been painted gray from the factory and that just the outside face was painted black. The outside has obviously been touched up, but the back...

Anybody got a set they won't be using?

Years ago I built a high compression 400 by piecing together parts long before aftermarket pistons were readily available. Lately, since I bought the Charger, I have been working out a plan to build a stroker 361 to create a low block 413 torque monster. Turned down 440 crank, bushed stock...

Some pictures from Moparfest today

My 66 has the black roof accent stripe (replaced) but when I was at Carlisle I didn't notice one other car with the stripe. Most had been repainted. Do people just leave them off?

I just got my registration in the mail for Moparfest. There are a number of guys from FABO going. Who is planning on going from here?

Has anybody used this Summit brand proportioning valve? I am ready to put in an order and I am considering it. I am open to other suggestions available through Summit. Since I am in Canada, I want to combine my order to take advantage of their cheap shipping. I have to admit the instructions...

I recently returned from Carlisle, logging 800 miles on the round trip. I noticed that the car has considerable body lean when negotiating those long on ramps. The car is a 66 Charger with a 361 and factory air. The suspension consists of stock torsion bars with the stock front sway bar. The...
