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...

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'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...

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...

Hi all, My 1966 Charger with AC needed a new blower motor, so here are my notes. The old motor would only start spinning if I moved it by hand. There seem to 4 options that come up when searching for replacement blowers. One that is a can with long shafts on each end - clearly not correct...

Is Real Time Engineering still in business? Do they not answer support or warranty request? I bought a IVR3 in Jan and it seems like a defective unit. I have emailed 2 different address with no response. What voltage regulator are people using besides the RTE unit? Classic Industries list...

Hi all, As headlights roll over they make sound like a rusty bushing or old rubber bushing, basically a long squeak sound. I can hear it over the engine idling. Is this typical or do I need to oil/grease some parts? Thanks

Hello all, I installed and RTE IVR3 and after about 15 to 30 min driving the gauges drop to zero, then move back to their correct position. This continues randomly. Overall the car has corrosion issues in the electrical. The gauges didn't work when I got the car. I think this was caused by...

Hi all, Thought I would share my experience installing new hood hinges. My right hinge pin was failing. I ordered these Auto Metal Direct Hood Hinges 310-1468-P Glad I got the pair since the left seem bent. I used some wood, clamp, and towels to hold the hood in place while I swapped each...

Hi all, How do you turn off the factory radio in a '66 Charger? The volume knob does not click when turned all the way CCW. The speaker makes a pop every time I turn the key on. I must be missing something simple or the radio always on by design. Thanks.

Hello, The oil pressure gauge on my '66 Charger is not working, along with all the other gauges (expect the AMP meter). Could be broken, disconnected, etc. I would like to know oil pressure so I am looking for a easy temporary solution. I can add a mechanical or electrical gauge, but am not...

Hi all, Just before Christmas I bought my first Mopar, a 1966 Dodge Charger. Hopefully it will be delivered tomorrow, it's been an ordeal to get the shipped from WA to SoCal. I have always liked fastback bodies, and have looked at some AMC Marlins. Over 5 years ago I saw a 1966 Charger in a...
