It does have the rally dash with clock but it's not working currently. It could be the culprit. I am going to test like sixpack mentioned and hopefully find something. It was a brand new 1045 amp battery so I was kinda shocked to see it was completely dead in three months. My charger srt has...

Forgot to add that I also hooked up the original wire from the firewall along with the 8 gauge going to the battery. Thx

My 71 R/T 340 4 speed has been up and running since November last year and has been sitting for a few months over the winter. I went to start it the other day and the battery was dead. It was a new 1045 amp Napa one. I threw a little charge in it and it fired up. I have a Mopar 110 amp 1 wire...

I finally got to go for a ride after a long restoration and the speedometer was growling and bouncing around, even with a new cable installed and the needle broke off. I imagine someone could repair it but I'm not sure if I could do it myself. I really don't want to spend 400$ for a new one...

Thanks man. I got your vapor separator installed in there and was very nice after blasting. Turned out, I actually put the clutch in backwards somehow. I am totally shocked but can't deny it. Even after checking 2x. Ashamed for that. I got very lucky and barely skimmed the flywheel nuts. No...

A good wet sand and buff, stripe kit, and new clutch will exceed my expectations. Set it up for a repo stereo but of course, they aren't making that anymore. Called custom stereo, and all the repo places. Guess a glove box type is all I can do.

Since I have been on the site but thank everyone that helped me with replies. Every car build is different and this was a phenomenal task for me. I got the motor broke in with the single valve springs and built an exhaust to exit near it for the break in. All went well, then swapped the old...

Got the challenger back in February, this year and have all but completely reassembled it since. Doors, glass, fenders, trim, vinyl top, brakes, rear, motor, trans electric, etc. Down to priming, antifreeze and fuel. Got sick last week and went to the doctor. He said I have Mopar sickness and I...

Thanks again for the quick and direct info. It had been a while since I took everything apart. Most was labeled except the coil and now my wiring is officially complete. I went with msd controller, distributor and coil to limit the rpms and that system works well. A few more parts to install and...

Thanks. Very much appreciated. Violet wire from the msd adapter to the original tach trigger wire. Is it ok to connect to the blue/ white - brown wires that triggers the start/ run for the msd control as the red wire shows for the adapter in the diagram? Strange that the start and run circuit...

Approaching the end of the rebuilding aspect and looking for some help with the msd 6al2 upgrade. The issue is with the tach and 8920 adapter upgrade. Firewall slot # 20 has a grey wire on the inside and white wire outside of the firewall. I am assuming it is the tach trigger which went to the...

I pulled the kevko pan and pump last night and welded a tab back on the pick up because I had just cut it off previously. Wasn't comfortable with it being off.

Drivin br30 and z paste on the cam, lifter lobes, pushrod tips, and valve tips is what I am using. Lifters spinning. Following the instructions to a tee. Preset timing to 30-35° and fully prime oil and fuel. If that doesn't work, it wasn't going to happen anyway.

I pulled the inners and following the instructions. I have to give it the best chance it can get. I was trying to cheat, so to speak, but the videos swayed me among other people talking about it. All the rest is common procedure. Going to install real soon. Sooo close. Tension is building. I...

I always rotate the crank while priming it. Air/ oil canisters work well. It's a good thing to see oil coming out the top end first Fired up quite a few without confirming it without any problems tho. That's why my thread matters. Everything has changed. Even if it's only been 2-3 yrs. I...
