Thanks. I will run what I have and look into adjusting the vac advance amount. It's happy at 20 deg at idle and I need to run more tests for cruise and WOT.

Hi all, I have '66 Charger with a '78 440. Seems like some work (intake manifold, cam) has been done to the engine, but I don't know what. Stock heads and headers. I am working on tuning it to run as best as it can. As part of this I have been trying different timing and checked the...

Finished up the brakes and got it to the alignment shop. What a transformation, it rides and handles beautifully. It seems like the drivers side is sagging. The torsion bar adjuster bolt is already turned in further than the passenger side. I ordered a new set of adjusters from PST. Also I...

So I did wonder if it is locked (spool or Lincoln or blocks) or something else. Limited slip diff I have worked with in the past allow one tire to be turned (although not easily) while the other is on the ground. I used a 2 foot pry bar on the studs to try and rotate the drum while the other...

Well a big milestone was met yesterday. After many days of work, the suspension has been rebuilt - what a job. I lost count the number of times I complained about the cost of parts and wondered what Chrysler engineers were thinking. But here it is. Front disc brakes are installed. The rear...

I was replacing the left hand axle lug nut studs with right hand threads and needed to turn the axle. I put the car in neutral and to my surprise it didn't turn. I had to lift the right tire. So I guess the diff is locked. There seems to be no slop, mechanical noise, and I tried a pry bar to...

I had to remove the instrument cluster for the zillionth time and poured water around the wipers and glass. The water goes into the trim at the upper left of the windshield seal and may enter the seal at the bottom. Then it runs onto a horizontal lip/body seam that distributes the water to the...

The shocks are KYB-gas-adjust, white, not sure on the part number. The way the car rode, I really expected them to be blown out. But the one I removed, expand and seemed to work. I am in agreement about KYB vrs Bilstein. On the old Mercedes there is no comparison, the Bilstein handles so...

Got all this, except the k-member bushings. I will have to look into them.

Sweet, one less part I need to buy. Thanks for the speedy replies.

I'm rebuilding the front suspension on my '66 Charger. The car seems to slam into the road on dips and such. I expected the KYB gas adjust shocks to be bad, but they are ok. So does that leaves me with worn out torsion bars? I think they are original, I haven't removed them yet. The car was...

I started taking apart my '66 Charger front end for bushing repair (and lots of other things) and found the front right squeak. The sway bar is shifted to the left and link was rubbing on the strut rod. Take a look at the pic. Do I need a new rod or is this ok to ignore?

Hi all, I would like a spare tire in my 1966 Charger, mostly to hold up the trunk subfloor. The car has 15x7 rims with tires that are just under 27". From my measurements the tire and rim must be under 7" high and maybe a 27" tire would fit. What are people using for spares or to hold the...

Hi all, My '66 charger has factory AC and motor-home 440. All the AC parts are present except the compressor, mounting bracket, and I expect some pulleys/belt stuff. I'm good with a modern compressor like a sanden. Does anyone sell a mounting bracket or kit for this? Any suggestions are...

Sweet, that's what my '66 looks like except the trans return spring pulls the linkage forward. Yours makes much more sense.

Thanks for the ideas. That does remind me the wipers make some clunking sounds.

Hi all, When I drive in the rain or wash the car my right foot gets wet. The water could be bad windshield install or something with the cowl vent. Before I crawl up behind the dash, is there something that is known to leak? How do the cowl vent drains work and where do they drain to? Thanks

Now that I have a working HVAC blower, I'm getting noise when I run the blower. I thought it was a vacuum leak but I disconnected the hoses at the HVAC push buttons and it still make the noise. It seems to change when I switch to AC or heat or defrost. Is there some other electro/mechanical...

I got the continental, it was packaged as a Murray. The one without the flange was correct for my 1966 with AC

I got mine from O'Reilly Auto Parts - chain in the US, not sure if they are in CA. Rockauto has them and here is the Four Seasons link with their part number Four Seasons | eCatalog
