Has anyone had Instrument Specialties restore their simulated wood grain Rally Dash instrument bezel and/or passenger side wood grain dash insert? If so, how did it come out? Please post pictures if possible. Thanks.

Posted this in the electrical section but wanted to get more exposure to some help diagnosing so here goes. I have taken the plastic Rally dash bezel out to repaint and redo the wood grain. It’s taking me at lot longer than expected because to many other distractions. Thus I hadn’t started and...

I'm close to installing the new carpet and headliner on my '73 Charger. I want to install good sound and thermal barriers on the floor pan and roof before installing either.

Does anyone have the part number on 1971 440 HP pistons? I am led to believe these pistons resulted in 9.7:1 ratio. Also anybody know who makes/brand a piston with similar compression height/specs in a .030 over?

Can some one shed light on why the bolt hole pattern on left side of housing is different than on a stock cast iron housing? Everything appears the same except the aluminum hosing from 440 Source has a hole at the base of the thermostat housing, inline with one of the water pump bolt holes. The...

Finally getting around to taking the instrument panel bezel out to get wood grain and silver trim redone. The chassis manual has the instructions for dropping the steering column which is straight forward. Its the installation back in place and the issue of "centering" the column without the...

If you stick with the factory cast iron exhaust manifolds, other than a weight benefit, is there any performance benefit to be gained going with a set of better flowing aftermarket cylinder heads?

Looking to remove the bezel from my Charger and send out for refinishing. Once radio and other switches are cleared does the steering wheel have to come off?

I am rebuilding/restoring the heater box on my '73 Charger wan to paint the outside to eliminate the scuffs and scratches. Can't tell if the material is a plastic type with infused fibers, phenolic, or fiberglass. Just trying to make sure whatever paint I use is compatible and will adhered to...

Does anyone know the difference between a '72 and '73 positive battery cable for a Charger with a 440? Can't find anyone that sells the original style one for a '73 at a reasonable price. Found one for a '73/74 on ebay but it was over $200. Found several sources online for a 1972 440 in a...

Has anyone done there own restoration on one of these simulated wood grain tri-vents? Specifically, removing and then successfully reinstalling the double vent? Was going to send it out for restoration until I got the quote which was just under $1200. I decided I would try myself. I can get the...

Looking for any help or any past experience identifying the brown color on the simulated wood grain 1971-1974 Rallye Dash and passenger side vent insert. I believe the original paint was a laquer PPG color, "brown suede" but am having trouble locating a source for the paint color or even a...

Prior to buying my Charger someone had replaced the fuel tank and sending unit. The sending unit they used has a straight-in fuel line and a return line. The original had a 90 degree bend in the fuel line and the return line so the ground strap could be used on the fuel line. They used rubber...

I want to replace the charcoal canister in my ‘73 Charger. Don’t need the original style. Just want one that satisfies the function.

Can anyone tell me if the underside hood insulation that fits a standard 1973 Charger hood is the same for the power bulge hood? I see a lot of insulation pads advertised on-line but none of them mention fitting the power bulge hood.

Does anyone know how many ounces of fuel it take to fill the fuel bowls on a 1973 Thermoquad carburetor? Can the bowls be filled through the vent tubes to avoid lots of cranking after the car has sat for awhile?

Going to install an electric fuel pump in my 440 Charger to get the system primed and fill the bowl. The car is not my daily driver, I usually get it out on the weekends or every other weekend. Takes lots of cranking to get bowl filled before she'll fire off. I am going to keep the mechanical...

Is there a secret that helps get new bushings seated in the wiper swing arm pins? Do you press fit in a vice? Heat the bushing end in hot water then press fit on? Any help would be appreciated.

I recently removed the lower windshield stainless trim molding on my '73 Charger SE. On the underside of the moding at each of the 5 screws holes was a very thin rubber-like gasket looking material that peeled away. The shape was circular almost as if it has been a peel-n-stick material cut to a...

On first start of the day with just a tap on the pedal the engine fires right up with barely a spin on the starter. After running for as little as a few minutes and shutting down it takes a lot of cranking and pedal held down to get it to fire back up. This is the first big block I’ve owned...
