Yes I remember those very well along with washing windshields and carrying the metal coin changer on my belt and a roll of bills in my shirt pocket. Back when Arco was Atlantic Richfield and the average price was around 32 cents per gallon. I already had Mopar - itis really bad and it's still...
I am assuming you are referring to the injector connector and I didn’t open up this one to see. The whole throttle body has been changed and it’s better in my opinion than the first model.
The injectors are now front and rear instead of side to side and the fuel transfer tube is cast into the...
The loose or broken connection is a common problem for the sniper 1. My mileage had dropped to around 9 and the engine was acting like it had a miss under acceleration. My wife spotted the dark area on the throttle body as soon as I took the air cleaner off. I decided to try the sniper 2...
The sniper directions refer to turning the key on and waiting for a few seconds while the pump primes and then the injectors wet the intake. The sniper 2 is an improvement and mine starts right up even after sitting for two months.
Yes I did put a return spring on the lever on the transmission. The lokar cable reverses the operation so there needs to be a spring on the lever instead of at the throttle because the cable pulls the lever back instead of the rod pushing it back.
Just a suggestion for you guys. Can you get a mockup model of the engine and transmission to set in the car and see what needs to be addressed?? Might be worth the investment to be able to sort out some of the problems. Some later b body parts may work with some modifications.
Sweet ride, you’re having fun and your skills and attention to detail are amazing. B bodies rock and it doesn’t matter 2 doors, 4 doors or wagon. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I have dash cams in my Charger, my Hearse and my daily driver Camry. People are so out of control on the roads it’s insane. I drive a big rig for work and run all around the greater Seattle metropolitan area as well as Tacoma and Everett. My employer finally took my strong suggestion to put...
She is so full of energy and my daughter in law has a work from home job so that really helps. Weather is decent and I drove the Charger and it was fun to see all the smiles. You have to get the little ones started early and she really likes my green car. Who knows maybe one day she’ll have...
I don’t know if this helps but on my 74 Charger the drivers side leaked and puddled up on the floor. When I had a new windshield installed, there was a rust hole that was below the windshield gasket area that was causing the leak. The installer sealed it with the windshield goop and no more...
I cut out the pot metal section off of the original gauge and trimmed it to fit and also ran ground wire for the wiper switch and it looks reasonable and works great. They are snug and don’t turn in the hole when you use them.
You are spot on about diving into the system and experimenting with all the available options to really improve how the engine performs. If the engine has any mechanical problems or other issues those need to be addressed before the installation because they will be very difficult to work...
I started with the original sniper and had the infamous injector issue so I decided to just upgrade to the sniper 2 and what a difference. Throttle feels really smooth and not having the internal pressure regulator is good. I put an Aeromotive regulator on and it’s sweet and simple.
The...
You’re definitely on the right track and at least the lights are working which means that the issue appears to be getting a solid ground. Once you test everything and it works then you can sort out the wires and move on to the next step. Anything electrical needs a clean power and a clean ground.
I installed the Autometer dash in my Charger and the fit is actually pretty good. The electric speedometer was very easy to calibrate and seems to be with in 1 mph of the gps.
As suggested make sure to reinforce behind wiper and light switches and supply ground. I used ice blue led bulbs...
