Thanks Guys! Good info. I'm not an engineer to plan the folds and turns for maximal strength, but looking the examples and originals I should have a pretty good idea. Thanks again.

Hi folks, I'm planning to fabricate and install front and rear torque boxes to my 1970 Challenger 440+727. Has anybody fabricated them? All hints and tips are much appreciated!

I got tint film which is very close to the original color. Without the white paper sheet behind the glass it is very difficult to notice difference. It's perhaps a bit darker and low on green, but good enough for me! https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzgMPDy

This issue was solved and now car starts and runs well. I put unmarked brown wire (12V during cranking) and pink IGN wire together to feed ECU, CDI and distributor. I also have alternator which needs excite wire and had to put diode to stop the backfeed because otherwise car did not turn off...

THanks for sharing! Nice to see that it can be done in several ways. I sent the question also to AAW tech support and this is what I got from there:

Thanks for your input and the link. I forgot to mention that I have Hyper Spark ignition, so there is no ballast resistor. Diode sounds a good silution. Just that I haven't used diodes before.. have to study a bit. I wonder what is the IGN2 in the AAW harness? Was also thinking about using a...

Thanks Challenger RTA. Otherwise AAW wiring works well (except fuel gauge shows full all the time but that's another story) and installation instructions were pretty clear. I'll check the pink and brown!

Hi fellow e-body gearheads, I have installed AAW wiring harness 510289 and Holley Sniper EFI to 1970 Challenger. I have difficulties to find a 12V supply which is hot in "Run" and "Start" keyed ignition switch positions. Car does not start without 12V during cranking. Power leads in the...

OK thanks for your comments. I'll continue searching and update here if I find a match.

Hi folks, one of my quarter windows is tinted and other one is clear. Does anybody know where I could get window tint film in a color that would match the factory-tinted glass color? I ordered green film but as you can see, the shade is wrong. Original tint is more bluish-green.

Thank you Moparleo, I made the purchase from Tony's parts.

For 1970 Challenger

Thanks all for your input! I'll get a poly bushing and see how it goes.

Hi Steve, thanks for the tip! Did you loosen the engine mounts before pulling the trans rear to drivers side?

Thanks guys, I have new mount ready but started wondering if the mount bushing sitting non-center is normal (depenging on the angle of engine+trans) or something that should be fixed. The crossmember in the picture should go left (co-driver side) or tranny should go right (driver side) to make...
