    Problem getting wheel alignment on 1970 cuda

    What were those specs? I have often suggested using 2005 Mustang specs for cars with radials, because they are available in nearly any shops computer database for alignment. However, they also will not be able to hit these specs because they are more aggressive than what can be achieved with...

    Problem getting wheel alignment on 1970 cuda

    Did you give them specs to use or trust them to find the specs? I've heard of shops saying this because old cars aren't in their "toe-n-go" database. Which also highlights the fact that if they can't align it by twisting a single rod end, they may be claiming they can't get spec because it...

    Fender Tags, why?

    Broadcast sheet is certainly better, but not many of those have survived. Nearly every mopar has a fender tag.

    Fender Tags, why?

    The fender tag is like the birth certificate for a mopar. While a slant 6 car may be more desirable in its modified form with a new engien and color combo, the fender tag demonstrates how far it has advanced from when it was built. Certainly not a deal breaker for the circumstance in the OP's...

    Offset question

    I use a 15x10 wheel with 5" backspace (don't know the offset) on the rear of my Challenger with a 26x12x15 (305/45 in metric terms) using a 1" leaf relocation kit and B body housing. All the change in housing does is change back space requirement. With the stock E body housing, you might need...

    Offset question

    According to Challenger RTA's post above the 15x7 has 4.25" backspace with 6mm offset. I think this is a factory spec, but I’m not sure. 6.5” may have been the original width. The 15x8 has 4.5" backspace with 0 offset. This is an aftermarket spec that was never available from the factory but...

    What do you call a 360 after you stroke it to 408?

    Most guys I've encountered with one have called it a 408 stroker. You could put some 409 badges on the hood and really mess with people.

    WTB Wtb radiator and fan shroud 74 cuda

    Yea, I've already got them back to mostly round with a body spoon. Might pick up a pipe expander this afternoon when I stop by Oreilly for some stuff.

    WTB Wtb radiator and fan shroud 74 cuda

    I bought Gumby's 22" radiator last week. I was going to use it in my Challenger until someone local to me offered me a good deal on a bigger aluminum unit this week. The 22" unit is too tall to fit in my Duster, so I would be willing to sell it to you for what he was selling it for, $80 plus the...

    Is that the valve knocking?

    Let us know what you find inside there.

    How to reply with pictures

    Is that only in the forum? I can't get a copy/past to work in the IMs.

    72-74 Challenger front hood moldings, is it just screws to attach?

    My '74 screws to the hood. No clips involved.

    Is that the valve knocking?

    Wow, sounds like a knock and seems timed with the valve motion, but I've never heard a valve sound like that.

    Passenger Friendly Roll Cage

    I would suggest contacting some of the tracks and/or organizations where you may want to run and ask them what requirements they have for bolt in roll bars. It would really stink to put and effort into the fab and install of a bar only to show up at an event and have them tell you it won't pass...
