    Help please!! 66 Charger steering bolt issues!!

    Thank you for the answers. But the main issue is the left side one that is completely in closed by the K member. If I cut the head off it will fall inside and no access to it at all! Can I cut an access hole in the K member and weld the hole up?

    Timing issues 1970 383 in a 66 Charger

    My issue is not the steel brake line end for the hoses. It is where the hose screws into the wheel cylinder end for the front brakes. They just don’t seem to seat correctly. And yes they are both knock offs from Rock Auto! Can I get factory ones? Thank you for any advice!

    Thank you! New question? We bought new front brake hoses and wheel cylinders. When I put the hoses on them it does not appear they seal correctly? Have you ever seen this issue?

    Timing issues 1970 383 in a 66 Charger

    I will try this for sure! As far as the plug wires I have read that number does not matter for the location and just do the firing order from where you need it to start from. It runs okay but the distributor needs to turn more to set it, but it hits the head now before I get the correct timing...

    Timing issues 1970 383 in a 66 Charger

    Thank you for the reply! I think you are correct on moving the shaft. I think it needs moved so I can get the timing set correctly! I have raced Chevrolet engines most of my life and do not have much experience with Dodge or Chrysler engines or vehicles! Do I use a magnet to lift the shaft and...

    Timing issues 1970 383 in a 66 Charger

    The location of the vacuum advance is not the same as most pictures I have seen, ours is turned towards the radiator a lot more. And still needs to go more. To get 12.5 degrees at 500 rpm. Problem is the cap hits the head and won’t go more! That is why I think it maybe 180 out? Or maybe the plug...

    Timing issues 1970 383 in a 66 Charger

    A friend of mine came over and looked at our engine numbers. He advised we have a 1970 383 in our 1966 Charger we purchased. I have problems timing the engine. I have a Snap On timing light that you can dial to the desired degree. I set it at 12.5 degrees. With the vacuum advance hose removed...

    1966 Charger HELP Please!

    I can see what you are showing me, but it appears ours does not touch those ears for some reason, clicked in either direction? Like the ears for it to click against are way too short? Ours was all broken so I’m not sure what it should look like from the factory? I have one more question. At...

    1966 Charger HELP Please!

    Thank you so much! I see the clip you show in the photo on our steering wheel. But mine appears to not touch the ears at all? With it turned right or left of the turn signal. The steering shaft just spins. Maybe the steering wheel is not going all the way down on the steering shaft? Someone had...

    1966 Charger HELP Please!

    Thank you for any help and welcomes! I believe the 66 and maybe the 67 Chargers are setup differently than the 70s models? I would greatly appreciate a photo with just the steering wheel removed and the bottom of a steering wheel photo if possible. Thanks again for any help!
