Wise man to keep the ice blue - good color and you will stand out. Handsome car, i need to get movingon my 71, Mark

I second this. There is a shop manual process for the adjustment, and it may take a few tries but try that first before anything else. Mine had no kickdown and shifted early and once the kickdown was restored the shift speeds improved some too Mark

Hi all; I replaced the pitted shifter bezel in my 70 Challenger this weekend, and noticed the console itself has a outward bow in the shifter area. Not clear in the photos, but I can see the tunnel and the wire for the shifter lamp through the gap. Is this normal? If not, is there any fix other...

Find a parts catalog illustration page. They often just imported engineering drawings and have some sense of the order of installation. Sometimes. Mark

Wow! Beautiful. I cant wait to get my GK6 Cuda done. Lousy paint, badly matched from 20+ years ago. I need to keep seeing good paint to remember what mine should look like. And be inspired to write the check. Great job! Mark

Lots of Band-aids too. M

I think those are aftermarket. The factory Mopar accessories catalog lists a different style for 74. The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1974 Mopar Parts Accessories Catalog Mark

I am privleged to have a garage to keep my stuff warm, etc. But I need to re-engineer the Dr. Diff disc brake conversion on the Cuda. On my back. On cold concrete. With daily highs forcasted in the teens. I thinkI will do some work on the 1917 house restoration instead! Mark

Sell it and get a Modern 6.1L Charger/ Challenger supercharged special model and have fun. A lot closer to a Viper than anything you cna make your current car into without $$$$. I like stock E bodies, but the Modern Mopars are very tempting. M

Hello; An update. I replaced the radiator shroud (fits better but not perfect) and the cap (good catch folks) with a 16#. Took it to the Heinz Drive cruise last Sunday and it was better behaved in traffic, gague didn,t get over 3/4. Went to check temps with my infared tester, but a dead battery...

Hello; I have a 70 Challenger R/T with a restoration to mostly stock spec about 10 years ago, everything done. The engine was completely rebuilt with everything new, radiator recored,, etc, etc. Runs well overall. Has a new fan clutch and stock R/T fan blade. It runs hot in traffic and low...

The original post of the red convertible has a 65 Chrysler 300 sport grille and headlight covers. I have one. Mark

Stock iron exhaust manifolds? Is the hat control valve stuck closed? This will direct hot exhaust under the carb with resilting vapor lock. Mark
