    Engine dies like key was turned off

    I need some expert diagnostic help on this one. 71 Charger 440x6. Runs like a top, purrs like a kitten, all that. Completely rewired the car bumper to bumper 18 months ago, everything's been flawless since then, with one exception. Occasionally the car won't turn over with the column shift...

    I am in need of the light lens that goes over the parking brake light in the center of the dash for my 71 Charger. Anyone got one laying around? (picture isn't my dash, obviously...)

    FOR SALE Dodge 8 3/4 489 4:10 Sure Grip differential

    This is out of my 71 Dodge Charger, 4.10 gears with Sure Grip 489 case 2 5/8" yoke. Cone style Sure Grip. I replaced it with 3.23 gears. Extremely clean, no signs of wear on gears. I suspect it has less than 10,000 miles on it. You pay actual shipping or pick it up in the greater Seattle...

    71 Charger front seat issue

    71 Dodge Charger SuperBee, original bench seats. The driver seat leans back about 1 inch, just enough to be noticable and irritating. I have had the seats out a number of times for various reasons, cannot figure out how to correct this. There is a post at the base of the seat that seems to...

    8.75 swap help

    71 Dodge Charger 400x6. The previous owner was going to put it on the drag strip back in the late 90's so he put a 4.10 Sure Grip in it, then put it in a warehouse where it sat for many years. I obtained it about 4 years ago. Everything is perfect now except for the 4.10, it has to go. I am...

    Square holes in front bumper 71 CHarger

    OK, got the spoiler remounted with the bumper guards, all fits perfectly after relocating the spoiler about 1 inch. Now I am wondering what those square mounting holes between the bumper guard and outer edge of bumper are (see pics). I have gone through all the shop manuals, body manuals etc...

    71 Charger front bumper guards and spoiler

    I am putting front bumper guards on my 71 Charger, which has the front spoiler. The two don't seem to want to get along. I had to remove the spoiler to get enough room to install the guards, but now the spoiler hits the lowest spot on the guards and will not go back in place as a result. I've...

    Do I need an electric fuel pump? 71 Charger 440x6

    440 6-pack, all in excellent working order. Carbs rebuilt, engine runs like a sewing machine, fires up immediately when started. However, after the car sits for a day or two, it's hard to start the first time, turns over for about 20 seconds then fires and runs. I am suspecting lack of fuel...

    Hot water control valve question

    71 Charger, originally AC car, AC long gone. Still has the AC heater box and controls. I've been putting the vacuum system back together so I get air to the right place. Heater worked great but only blew through dash vents. All is working now, heat goes to the right vents. Now adding the...

    AN6 to standard rubber fuel line

    I am needing to attach a rubber fuel line to an AN6 braided line but cannot find any good way to do this. I purchased a nipple (see photo) but the male connector isn't really AN6. Anyone know how to do this? I have braided lines from the three carbs but need to connect to either the fuel line...

    71 charger front bumper alignment brackets

    71 Charger. There are two bumper alignment brackets that bolt into the front quarters and the other end is supposed to grab a welded bolt of some sort. On the passenger side the welded thing on the actual bumper inside is gone so the bracket has nothing to grab. Is the bumper material hard to...

    intermittent missing

    New issue. 71 440 6-pack. Engine has been running like a sewing machine, very smooth. Last weekend on the way home from a car show the engine started running on 7 cylinders, but intermittently. It would run smooth, then feel like it was dropping a cylinder, then smooth again. No predictable...

    Dash lights and acceleration

    Weird one. I was on my way home last night, everything running smoothly. There is a stretch of road that I like to let my Charger 'stretch' it's legs a bit. I jump on it, all three carbs open up, car does what a 440 6-pack should do at WOT then BLINK, all the dash lights go out. Turn signal...

    Vapor lock 6-pack question/solution

    440 6-pack 71 Charger with the expected vapor lock issue. The solution is to install a fuel-vapor separator, which I purchased a few weeks ago, to replace the fuel filter. I was going to run a fuel line from the return tube of the vapor separator back to the tank, replace the sender unit in...

    OK, where does this go?

    Center carb, top of the fuel bowl, hose comes out, connects to a fuel line and disappears. I'm on my way out of town so don't have time to crawl under to see. I'm adding a vapor filter to the fuel line to eliminate my vapor lock problem. The fuel sender at the tank does NOT have a second port...

    Vapor lock 440 6-pack issue

    I went through older threads about this, want to make sure I'm not missing something. 440 6-pack starts, idle and runs smoothly. If I stop the engine for 10 minutes or so, say to run into the store, when I return the car starts after 4-5 seconds of cranking. Normal behavior. However after...

    440x6 fast idle and stalls

    71 Charger, 440x6 which runs very smoothly but has two issues I can't seem to solve. It idles fast and when I put it in gear (auto) the rear carb spits up gas and it floods. No vacuum leaks anywhere, air/fuel screws on center carb 1.5 turns out, timing at about 12d btdc when vacuum advance is...

    Coil mount bracket

    This one's been asked but nobody seems to be using this bracket. This thing is all over the internet as being the 'original' for the 440 6-pack but for the life of me I cannot find where this damn thing is supposed to go. I cannot find a set of bolts that fit the spacing on the holes. It's...

    six pack vaacuum throttle question

    440 6-pack, running well. I am about to replace the vacuum diaphragm springs on the two outer carbs, but before I did anything I performed the very scientific 'suck test' to make sure the diaphragms were responding as they should. Both move when I suck on the tubing, but I can hear air...

    Need block translation

    I finally got all my plugs replaced, 3 from under the car. While I was under there I found some of the block stamps. Anyone care to decipher these? I think it's telling me the engine block was cast 11/4/69 but I'm not sure about the number with the -7 at the end. Also what is the little dial...
