Jezebel is her name. 72 Charger, Flashy and Loose

[Tom Patchett]

Hi, New to Mopars. Found a 72 charger in Ohio and drug it to Illinois. Will run and drive. Which is sort of a miracle. The past owner stated: Don't know much about cars, so just took it to other people to fix. You know how that turns out. Engine : 400 with all plug wires routed wrong. The car started missing on maiden voyage on a left turn. That happens when number 7 plug wire is threaded over the top of steering shaft and gets walked out. The fuel line goes over the distributor. Vacume brake booster was fed from carburetor. No pcv valve, both sides have breathers. Engine wiring completely home done in black tape. Won't even start on paint job.

Glad to have found this site.

Tom

Thanks for the welcomes. Very nice of everyone. Would gladly share our abundance of rain. Going to try not to tear Jezebel down so far it takes 6 months to drive again.

Too often one little leak becomes a motor trans removal and then repaint the engine bay etc. Going for a daily driver not a restoration.

Nice red '72. I have one myself that I found in Iowa. I like the hide-aways and rallye dash better then the base that I have.
