    Flexible Brake Lines

    I have slider calipers on my 70 Challenger and use an A body front brake hose from 1975 Dart. I have front mounted calipers.

    1970 only hood hinges, identification

    I believe the 1970 top bar is 1 1/8” and used 5/16” bolts. 1971+ top bar 1 3/8” and used 3/8” bolts in addition to the other stuff mentioned.

    Question on Torsion bars

    I have an unrestored 70 RT with the heavy duty suspension with .90 bars. All I do is cruise with the car. Those bars work fine for me. If you’re considering more maneuverability bigger bars is where you should go. I do just street cruising and the ride quality fits my needs and the car handles...

    Radial TA Tires

    I experimented with Vitour Galaxy R1 Radial GT tires. They’re V rated and I use 235/60-15 front and rear. On for three years now and no problems. So far so good. Lettering stays white.

    1973 Challenger Aftermarket LED Headlights?

    I used info from Daniel Stern lighting and use Kioto reflector housings with H4 hi/lo and H1 high beam Tungsram +120 bulbs along with Crackedback’s headlight rely wiring harness. His wiring harness is assembled with top quality parts and his workmanship is excellent. Lighting is excellent and I...

    Spindle question

    I might suggest you contact Cass at doctordiff.com for your braking needs. He’s a great source for information and parts.

    Tach not working after installing electronic ignition

    Might check the chip inside on the tach’s board. Found out the electronic box was not compatible with factory tach’s board. Had my tach rebuilt with the new chip and it works fine. Auto Instruments in Virginia did the rebuild and told me the tach will now work with any electronic system.

    AM Radio - Silly Question ??

    Probably not the best in audio quality, but I use a iHome small Bluetooth speaker that I rest between the console and the passenger seat and stream Sirius XM through my iPhone. This is similar to mine because I don’t think they make my model anymore.

    Build Sheet

    Same here too. LA built 1/23/70. No build sheet.

    Power Steering Box Bolt Stripped

    If you can soak it with rust penetrant they make extractor sockets that grab onto bolt heads. I’ve had success using those in the past. Harbor Freight might have them.

    Non-AC Water Pump Pulley AC Crank Pulley

    I did the same thing. Bought a non AC double groove crank pulley and a non AC water pump pulley from 440 Source for my 383 RT. It worked perfectly for me as I was also able to achieve an acceptable alternator pulley ratio with the 440 Source non AC double groove pulley. You can always put the AC...

    back of tires hitting frame on full turn

    I’m not sure. I thought there were stops in place to limit maximum turn to lock even though the steering box could still turn more. Just not sure.

    back of tires hitting frame on full turn

    Not sure, but isn’t there built-in stops somewhere at full lock to prevent excess turn into the frame? I thought there was, but not really sure. Never looked, but remember reading something about that many years ago.

    Digital relay, Simple stright answer please.

    Once the ash tray is removed there are some screws on the top and bottom of the opening. You can sit in the passenger seat. Remove the screws and pull the frame out and the flasher is on the right side. Be careful how far out you remove it because the harness is connected to the flasher. When...
