I had to have a guy TIG weld the air cleaner base for my MP air cleaner.... He took two bases to make one, the original MP base and an aftermarket 14" base with a deeper drop. If I knew how to TIG weld, I'd make a few just to have spares.

I hope that you saved and sold the 1970 front end stuff. There are plenty of 1970 owners that could benefit from fenders and other stuff. "Dunrobin"....Is that in Ontario? I had to look it up. If so, wow...you are not just down the street from Summit Racing or other auto parts stores!

That is great. These old cars can still handle quite well with the right parts and a good alignment. Score ! ********************************** Edit....dang phone and small screen, I make too may typos on that thing.

Yeah....The drawback of some custom setup is the limited availability of replacement parts. Holley sells a replacement front accessory drive for the 3 G Hemi swaps. it supposedly uses an alternator from the LS series Chebby...Hey, at least availability wouldn't be an issue.

Nice work. What serpentine belt setup is that? That doesn't look like a Mopar alternator!

Just an FYI: You'll need a new flasher to be compatible with LEDs. They require what is known as a "no load" type for proper operation.

The chart I have shows opposite of that. One inch loses 1.5 degrees of caster while only losing a tiny fraction of toe.

The thing I learned about our cars….. if the steering has excessive toe OUT, it will give negative camber. If the toe is IN too much, it will give positive camber. All of these things are inter-related so one thing does affect other things.

You do have to drive forward and back to settle the suspension.

Yes.

The best way I can describe it is that the end of the control arm needs to be IN at the rear and OUT at the front. Turning the cam bolts, you’ll see what I mean. The head of the hex nut will be IN for the rear of the UCA and OUT on the front.

The improvements in straight line stability with increased caster is great.

The aftermarket UCAs all seem to be built with increased caster in mind. You may know this but caster and camber are somewhat intertwined. It is hard to have positive camber and positive caster. You don't want positive camber anyway so that is sort of moot. I run .75 negative camber, 5 degrees...

I can't clearly see and you may already know but each time I install an UCA, I put the rear section adjusted all the way IN toward the engine and the front section all the way OUT towards the fender. This allows you a medium amount of negative camber and some positive caster. The alignment guy...

I'd ask the advice of an engineer before proceeding, man. Those guys really make the task easier.

(Shhhhhh)

Part of the original reason for not reproducing them was that there were only 46,000 1970 Chargers built while there were about 95,000 68s and 90,000 69s. The 68 and 69 models were the most desirable for the most part too. The past 10 years, the 1970 has closed the gap on value. The Fast and...

It would be interesting to take '68 or '69 model fenders and see about modifying them to resemble the 1970 models. From the middle to the rear, they appear to be the same. It would be a matter of modifying the very front and then the lower front where the valance attaches. A $500 used 68-69...

A man with some humility is a man to be respected. Using this tactic, one guy I know should wear a T shirt with an E Harmony.com logo even though his last marriage (to a woman he met there) crumbled. Another guy should have a Sherwin Williams shirt since he painted his house 4 times over a...

It looks like a nice day there Wayne.
