Lube-Locker gaskets work excellent. Definitely a 904.

They're definitely out there... I have the original for my '71 sitting with the engine and trans still hooked to it, and one I picked up for a '68 Charger. You could use a B-body one, though technically I think the steering box sits at a fractionally different angle.

Please post pics! I'm looking for pics of your relocated oil filter. Seems like sideways on the front of the K is most common. Also, I'm looking for a good place to put the Terminator X-Max ECU. I have just a heater box under the dash.

I'll post the date code tonight when I get home...

What would have determined whether a 1970 standard dash used the outlined hash marks (top row in the picture) or the non-outlined ones (2nd row)? My brothers 1970 Challenger has the outlined ones, but the cluster I picked up has the non-outlined 1970 gauges. Cuda/Barracuda/Challenger...

Car is at the body shop, fully stripped, and 1/2 back in primer. The body shop asked him how he wanted to deal with his peeling door VIN tag. I'm hesitant to go the replacement route, especially given the car's theft-recovery past. It was stolen from the previous owner in the early 80's and...

He went with Goodmark for the rear valence, hood, and trunk lid. In a few weeks, we'll see how the body guy likes them and what it takes to get them right.

Here's a pic from the late 70s when she painted it...

He pulled this deal off 2 days ago. I know what he paid. He made out like a bandit. 1970 383 4bbl auto, FJ5, not R/T. Original engine is available once it is dug out of the garage. No rust. Never hit. Trunk and bumper damage happened on another car and parts were swapped. Owner had it...

what ratio?

Not that I can add anything to the conversation, but you are not alone... I am right up the road in Quartz Hill. I have run many an engine on the stand without the ballast resistor, but it WILL get hot. Use one if you can to prevent damage.

moparlee - I have all the pieces you have shown there...

2 more shots. Better focus. Nevermind the spots. The P/S pulley ate the corner of my battery and spewed acid everywhere.

Here's the engine side. Didn't grab one of the interior side. The 3 hole plate was adjusted all the way up. Best I could do was get it centered on the 3 holes but it was just a slight improvement. The steering shaft seems like it should have something inside the shift tube, like the shift tube...
