Good morning all…
Can you assist in ID’ing the 4 speed I have in my ‘69 Super Bee?
From what I’ve read, the casting numbers typically start with a “9”. Mine looks like “88128”. I can’t seem to find a reference to that number. Casting date looks like 2/3/69.
Thanks!!

Hi all,
I had someone approach me at a Cars & Coffee the other day. Said he was having an issue with his '70 GTX 440 6-pack. He asked if I could stop by and take a look for him. He is not mechanically inclined.
I did stop by and I noticed that when he bumped the motor over, the distributor...
Hi all…quick question…
I want to replace the oil pan gasket on my ‘68 383 Super Bee. Is there enough room to lower the pan, remove the old gasket and install a new one without having to drop the steering linkage?
(Photo not mine but similar)
Thanks!

Hi All,
When I got caught in the monsoon coming back from Carlisle, there was standing water in the trunk.
I have an approx. 0.3" gap between the trunk lid and the fender on the left side and 0.1" on the right side. I also have approx. 0.1" difference between the bottom of the trunk lid and...
Hi all,
Changing the bulbs in my marker lights. I notice that they are pretty loose in the housing when pushed back into place. Can I just bend out the metal tabs to make them tighter or is there a better way?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Somewhere over the past 55 years, the shoulder belts and associated lap belts were removed from my ‘68 Super Bee. I have the mounting hardware, just need the belts - in black as in the picture below. Thanks in advance!! Bob
Hi all,
Does anyone know an alternative way to reach Bill Edwards at All Mopar Seat Belts - Bill and Robin Edwards - Upholstery Mods and More?
After much effort, I finally reached Bill via his cell phone and sent him $$ for my shoulder belts. This was on 6/2/23. He told me he would ship that...
Hi all,
Working on low rpm, hot day in traffic cooling. Ordered a Mr. Gasket 4367 thermostat. 1968 383. Regarding water pump, just need a quick brain check here...back when I got my first couple of Chargers in high school (1977'ish), I seem to recall the water pumps were one-piece units...
Hi all,
In my continuing quest to address issues with the Super Bee, I see that my tic-toc-tach seems out of whack. I think it’s ok down low, but where the gear/tire calculator says I should be spinning about 2600 rpm at 60 mph, I’m at 3000 or a little over. Plus the needle tends to bounce...
Hi all,
I've read many threads on the "orange ECU"...but am left still wondering where to get one should I need one.
I am chasing an intermittent moderate throttle miss in my '68 Super Bee. Runs fine otherwise. 383, 4 speed. I have recently replaced the plugs (they were 5 steps too hot!)...
Good morning all,
Quick question…the post threads on my Ramcharger base (1/4”x20) are stripped at the very top. I can start a 1/4”x20 nut, but it will only go half a turn or so. I’d like to use a couple of 1/4”x20 shoulder nuts, but of course they won’t thread all the way on.
My question...
Hi all,
As I dig into my 1968 Super Bee some more, I’m trying to figure out exactly what I have. Like I now know I have 452 heads vs the stock 906 heads.
i also have a MOPAR electronic ignition. Is there a way I can determine what year this is from so I can replace parts if needed down the...
Hi all,
The Super Bee is running good, but not great...I've put on a new distributor cap, rotor, wires and set the timing. It runs "OK", but not like I feel it should. I pulled one of the plugs and it is clean and gapped properly, but...it's a Champion RV17YC. When I look this up at the...
Hi all,
installing a Pertronix Igniter and Flamethrower coil in my ‘69 Super Bee this after. i don’t like to make assumptions, so I’m asking for your feedback.
The car already has some sort of electronic ignition in it…it doesn’t look like a Pertronix. Can you help me ID this part? Looks...
Hi all…
My 1968 Super Bee has MOPAR Performance valve covers. It came with tall “screw in” bolts but the covers are leaking.
i bought and installed valve cover studs and new gaskets. The issue is the two inside nuts don’t have enough room to get a wrench or socket on to tighten them. Any else...
Hi all…my 1968 Super Bee has what I believe to be an aftermarket AC unit installed. Most units I’ve seen at recent shows have labels with identification info, but mine doesn’t seem to have one.
Based on the attached pics, can anyone point me in the direction of the manufacturer?
Also, I’m...
Hi all…would someone be kind enough to post a picture of the correct license plate lamp please? Mine doesn’t have one and I want to be sure to order the correct part.
Thanks!!

Anyone familiar with a Hunter B - 400T Plate Brake Testing Machine? Delaware DMV uses this to test braking? My '68 Super Bee failed and I want to confirm what I need to do.
See the attached picture. On Left/right Front, the bottom arrow failed (right front I assume?) Does that mean it's...
Hi all - I got my new ANCO 41-03 wiper arm today. It came with a new knurled pivot (yeah!). I can see in the FSM or anywhere else I've looked how to get the old pivot off.
Anyone know how to do that so I can replace it? See pic.
Thanks!
Bob
