I just did the Dr Diff front disk brake conversion on my 70 Challenger with 14 inch original wheels. Easy and no issues.

Just an FYI for others. I've bought from littleredcoffin several times in the past and he is a good seller.

I went through this a couple of years ago. I had a 73 cast crank 340 that someone went over to a 1970 forged crank. But kept the 1973 cover. I may be wrong but the change happened to the covers when they went to cast cranks. The harmonic balancer marking was 90 degrees off from top dead center...

Not an E body radio. All versions of E body radios have the locator tabs shaped the same as highlighted in this picture….

Mid-Atlantic Customs in Maryland has done 2 E body convertibles for me. They are excellent. Both took around 6 months to get through the shop. They can be found on facebook. Excellent body and paint work and mostly MOpars.

I used a J hook bolt that was a half inch longer for my last heater box install. I also have a tool box that is almost the same height of the heater box. So I stick that under the box for removal and install. So you are not trying to muscle it in and out.

I was going to say the same thing, V5X. Which is black body side molding with a black pin stripe around it.

I would say $100, because most people switch from 2 to 3 speed if they are missing parts.

Have you ever operated a manual top? The manual top pistons have springs in them. So one person can easily put the top up and down. I have both manual and a hydraulic top E-body convertibles. To me they are both easy to put up and down.

Looks great! Thanks for the photos. I’m getting ready to trim for alternator clearance

I have an old Galin book that says 12.3% of 1970 Cudas were optioned R22. It also says 16.5% of 1970 Challengers were R22.

Dante’s is actually my favorite supplier. I’ve been buying from him for years. My interior is a mix of nice original pieces and the rest from Dante. I would definitely buy the interior kit from Dante if I needed everything. I will say that there has been a huge lead time in legendary interior...

Beautiful car and welcome! I think I’m about 2 hours from you. This is my clone car that I just finished….

Beautiful car! I'm a long time convertible owner and lover. Good luck on the sale!
