    8 3/4 axle play

    i had to changeout the drivers side inner seal due to leaking. Greased the bearings, Put the new one in no problems. Placed the steel gasket/shim on, slid axle back in and bolted it up. I now have zero play. I understand it's not adjustable but figured I have just a little play. I did not put...

    Super stock springs

    i have a 73 challenger with a 440. Looking for new leaf springs. Thinking of going with the 3300lb springs in the car. The car is full weight so probably about 3600ish. Would that spring selection help it not ride like a dump truck or sag in the back? I currently have XHD springs, some...

    Pcv valve

So I hooked the pcv up and had to adjust the air idle screws by 5 turns each to richen it out to 14.5 at idle, I have an aem Uego sensor So I think the pcv is bad or not even inside. What is supposed to...

    Bad water pump?

    so I'm not sure if my water pump is bad or if my radiator is. When looking into the radiator with the engine running I can not see the coolant flowing, it just kinda sits there. Water pump and radiator are both original. I can see some very small debris in the radiator but I wouldn't think it...

    Continuity between powered wires and ground.

    should I be seeing continuity between any 12v wires and ground with the key in the on position? Doesn't have continuity in the off position.

    Overcharging16-18v

    so I replaced my fried alt with another 65 factory type replacement and put a new voltage reg on. Car starts up and runs for about 15 secs and shuts off. During those 15 secs the voltage jumps around between 13-18v. What can cause this? This is a photo of how I have it wired up with the...

    Fried alternator

    hey guys. So I noticed the 440 charging at 18v at idle and shut her off. Changed the voltage reg, same thing. Took the alt to get tested,failed. It's a two field 65amp. I'm debating whether or not to change it to an internally regulated unit, not sure what specific one, or 1 or 3 wire. Modern...

    Steering column nut?

    does anybody know where I can find or what size the large nut behind the horn button is? I somehow lost it between getting the car back together and moving to a new house. I've looked for hours at diagrams and different sites but no luck. Almost have it ready to drive, and a single nut is...

    Going from hard fuel line to braided

    I'm looking to go to braided line in the engine compartment. I'm not up to speed on what my options are. Thought about compression fitting but it's not water we're dealing with. Maybe some sort of flare nut and adapter. It's 5/16" line going to -6AN. Maybe some of yous have done this and could...

    Light and dimmer switch wiring.

    So I finally have the 73 challenger 440 running again! I am now in the process of prepping the wires for the dash/gauges. I am looking for the functions of the light and dimmer switches as well as which terminal/prongs function. I'm no longer using a factory harness, but rather a summit...

    Ballist resistor wiring.

    Okay so I'm almost done putting the 18wire summit kit in my 73 challenger 440. The kits instructions don't exactly match what I'm seeing online as far as the ballist resistor. This is what i have so far, I'm not 100% if it's correct and I'm also looking for what wire goes to the open slot on the...

    213 heads, ports don't line up

    I have a 73 440 with 213 heads in my 73 challenger. I've begun to year it town and have one of the heads off. When it ran it would always be hot, especially when stopped for periods of time. After taking one of the heads off I notice the metal shim head gasket doesn't have the same cutouts/ port...
