These look as if they may be from a 1970 LA (Los Angeles Chrysler Plant manufactured) product.

I believe the factory color is semi-gloss black. There may be better media than sand to prep your suspension parts prior to paint. Sand works great, but other media, such as crushed walnut shells and baking soda do very well removing rust without adding the tiny pits sand blasting sometimes...

I've replaced a few 727s, and the building block process works well to elevate the tranny. It is now my "goto" when a jack isn't an option. But there was one time I wrestled one in laying on my back, after a friend helped me move the tranny onto my chest. It took every bit of my strength...

I seem to recall some kind of indicator mark, on 1970 OEM door panels that were undrilled, showing the location of the joystick hole. Even so, it is possible newer aftermarket door panels do not contain this mark, which seems flawed. The link below still works for me...

Finding this exact engine block, with those numbers stamped on it, and finding it for sale is the longest of long shots. But I think you did the right thing, by posting on this message board. Consider posting on other related boards, too. You may need to check back from time to time to see...

You may want to google and research the Holley Sniper EFI conversion. This may not be an issue specific to the Challenger, and it's possible others have run in to this same problem and posted their fixes. Your audience is somewhat limited, here, to mopar-specific topics.

Over the years, this has been tested more than once. I seem to recall the conclusion was as @Challenger RTA suggests, the scoops are too low, within the turbulent slipstream along the surface for there to be any real passive benefit to opening those up. We're talking about passive cooling and...

If you're going for an ideal, you'll want to use a break-in oil, with the zinc already blended into the oil. Some sources suggest adding the zinc (such as ZDDP additive) to standard motor oil does not protect the camshaft on initial startup as well as the pre-blended (with zinc) break-in oils...

Just.... pull. they are held in place by friction. Don't squeeze so hard they bust apart, but simply pull them off the shafts.

I've had experiences wear one short causes another. This happens when the first wire heats up inside a wire harness and melts the insulation of adjacent wires causing additional shorts. More than once, have I found myself scratching my head why I have a short on something I have not...

I do not know where the image in post #3 came from, but it seems a standard reinterpretation of the manual. The 1970-71 Parts manual is a bit vague on this, in my opinion - perhaps even in error, by some accounts. In my observational experience, the Shaker Hood hinge spring on Barracudas/Cudas...

I encourage you to start a new post, and not hijack an older one. You deserve all the help you can get, and you deserve your own post on this topic. I am now researching your question, and I will be happy to post my reply into your new thread.

Just order a replacement windshield from one of those mobile windshield businesses. If you're like, I tend to overthink things. I'm not convinced these measurements are anything you need to worry about, if you pay for install. Install is often free with the cost of the windshield. If the...

I seek out and enjoy most things, Carter carburetor-related. Can you give us a little more to go on? Which year? Which engine? Help me visualize the setup, and I can better provide the data you seek. I'm happy to help, but right now, I've got more questions than answers. Sorry.

Hello from Santa Rosa, CA. A long-time Mopar lover, myself. Very nice car, well done. What a blessing. I hope to see her someday, as you live nearby. Best regards to you and your project.
