    So I am trying to start the car, crank 1 no start, pump the gas a few times, crank 2 no start, pump again, then attempt no.3, when turning the key to start, I hear a pop, then all power is lost (even clock stops), though the ignition is turned on. Turn ignition off, you can see the clock moving...

    Brake light comes on when accelerating hard(ish)

    So here I am after a crappy day at work, taking the Charger out for a drive through the hills & forests around the city to vent. Some time after I started driving hard, I saw the Brake light flashing when upshifting from 1st to 2nd @ 6k rpm. Then, I saw it coming on and staying on when I was...

    old school looking tires that grip

    Have really searched before posting. My car has the awesome looking BFG 295/50 & 245/60 combo. I think only thing that would look better would be radials that look like bias ply in the same sizes... so about a G60 in the front, and a N50 in the rear(correct me if I'm wrong about the...

    Chassis dyno of stock 1968 Charger R/T (440/727)

    Took the car to a chassis dyno yesterday, haven't seen a dyno showing what rwhp a stock hp 440 makes. Took a couple of videos of the runs, here's one of them: 262.7hp @5108rpm & 477Nm @ 3277rpm (that's 351lbft). If you take into acount a 25% drivetrain loss, that would translate to 350hp &...

    Anybody going to the Mopar Nationals in Germany on Aug 5th?

    I am posting here because I do not have enough privileges to post in the Events section. If this is the wrong place, I kindly ask the admin to move it where it's more appropriate. SO last week, along with a caliper clip set I bought from a shop in Germany, I also got a flyer inviting everybody...

    Front end rattle after replacing EVERYTHING

    Please give me a clue... My right front wheel is rattling when hitting imperfections in the road. I put in the PST rubber front end kit, new torsion bars, new qa1 DA shocks, new UCAs, rebuilt LCAs with PST kit, but still when riding over bumps, it rattles like the caliper is not bolted into...

    Best source to buy Quality RV2 compressor without sending yours

    I have just about had it with shoddy parts, my THIRD compressor gave up the ghost. My mechanic warned me before the install that he found rust everywhere inside, and the oil was shot. I bought this one off of ebay, total cost with importing to Europe a little under $1000. I think it was not...

    Help converting factory A/C to R134

    I searched the forum (heck, the whole internet) for a guide on how to convert the factory R12 A/C to R134a, but only got the general bit. I had a wonderfuly working R12 setup (I think I got the last R12 canister in Europe), but after I changed the radiator, the person who did it turned the A/C...

    Factory 4bbl Holley on the 440?

    Today I just found out that the 1968 383 had a factory Holley carb option. Can anybody confirm whether the 440 also had a 4bbl Holley carb option? With the ported manifold/heads, the carb becomes a major bottleneck, and I understand that the Holley can be seriously modified on the inside to go...

    CNC ported 906 head flow test & review on YT

    Many of you may remember a review, and a flow test done by Eric Weingartner on his youtube channel of a pair of CNC ported 440source heads. Seeing that, I instantly thought it would be cool to see how the ported Iron would fare. It would also be great to see how it compares to previously tested...

    Where to get torsion bars under 1.03"?

    AS I understand, the R/T came with .94 torsion bars from the factory. Mine are worn out (ruined 2 shocks & 2 bump stops by bottoming out at an incline), and would like replacing them. I would like the new torsion bars to be good at launching the car, so that means a smaller diameter - I have...

    Drag racing setup that can be both comfortable, and stable at speed

    I made a mistake when rebuilding the suspension, in reusing the old torsion bars & leafs. Thought the car looked cooler standing lower, but little did I know... I am thinking of starting from scratch, and rebuilding the suspension. My 3 goals are a) good 60ft in tbe 1/4, b) comfortable ride...
