Hello, Charger Folks!
My Charger is currently finishing a 14-month restoration of the body. I made a lot of photos before pulling the engine for rebuild, but apparently not enough of them. I'm having trouble getting the alternator installed and am hoping someone can provide some photos to...
Hi, Guys -
Does anyone have a clutch disc alignment tool for an A833 4-speed to 383 engine that I can borrow or buy? I bought a new Luk clutch kit several months ago that included the tool, but now that I'm ready to install the clutch I cannot find that tool anywhere. I haven't had the clutch...
I removed the tranny to remove the engine for rebuild. I discovered that I had inadvertently dislodged the release bearing. Does the photo show the correct installation of the bearing on the fork? It seems easy to pop it off.
Thanks!

My '69 Dodge Charger is under restoration. The armrest plinths for the doors and rear seat are "chrome"-plated hard plastic. Mine have weathered to yellow. Does anyone know of a place that can restore the plating on these?
Thanks,
I visited my Charger's restoration shop today, and the owner presented me with a document that he found when he removed the headliner. Looks like a final inspection sheet filled out by the paint inspector. Anyone ever seen one of these? I'm wondering what the codes mean that are circled...
Mopar Fans:
I ordered my '69 Dodge Charger new without A/C. In those days, A/C in cars was still something of a novelty, and I had never even ridden in a car with A/C to that point, so factory A/C seemed an unnecessary extravagance. However, a year or so later I had the dealer install an...
Does anyone know if anything is inside the vacuum canister that could be damaged by exposure to 200 deg. F (e.g., plastic, rubber)? I am painting parts removed during an engine rebuild. The paint used requires final cure at 200 deg. F, which I can do in an oven, but I don't want to cook...
The suggestion is made that avatars should be at least 400 x 400 pixels. No matter how large or small I make mine, it won't display all of it. Is there a solution to that? My avatar would be a license plate, but it makes no sense if only half of it is displayed. I tried a small emblem, but...
Hi, All ---
I bought a Luk clutch kit from Rock Auto for my '69 Charger with 383 HP and 11" disc. It contains two bushings, one a sintered bronze and the other steel. Both are the same diameter, but the steel one is longer. Anyone know why two of these in the kit? Trying to find out from...
I am the original owner of 1969 Dodge Charger, XP29H9B280166, special-ordered at Tait's Huntsville Dodge in Huntsville, Alabama on 15 January 1969. My wife chose the color (Light Green Metallic, Code F3) and she left it to me to order it with the 383 HP engine, 4-speed, and black vinyl. We...
Hi, Guys and Gals -
I am the original owner of a 1969 Dodge Charger, 383 HP engine, 4-speed tranny. I have just pulled the tranny and engine for a rebuild after 178,283 miles. I noted in the Dodge workshop manual that the fluid specified for the 4-speed tranny is ATF. Is that correct? That...
Hello, Everyone -
Just joined and have a question I hope someone can answer. I am the original owner of a 1969 Dodge Charger 383 and 4-speed with 178,283 miles. For the first time, I am pulling the engine for a rebuild and a restoration of the body. The '69 shop manual is not clear and a bit...
