Hi All - the replies are greatly appreciated. Addressing them in order..... 1) Regarding vapor lock that a few of you mentioned... I thought about that and drove the car with the gas cap loose, it still happens after 15-20 minutes. 2) Stock choke heated by intake is working perfectly. Checked...

WHAT CAN CAUSE THIS? Please read all of this before offering advice. Thanks! Here's the issue: 70 Challenger R/T. Stock 440, Auto Trans. Original Distributor with that retarded emissions retard module on it. Car runs nice on start up and first 15 minutes. After that it bogs when you give it gas...

The car is a 1971 with a build date of September 4th, 1970.

Hi, Interesting.... I assume it is a replacement block since no VIN. Do you know its history? Was it a warranty replacement block or something ordered from DC over the parts counter? What is the casting date and other numbers? Is it an HP block and innards? Did you rebuild it and do you have...

Hello, I am searching for this 383 HP engine: VIN ending in 122916 Last seen in Northern, CA area back in the 70's early 80s. All help will be appreciated. Thank you.

GREAT INFO GUYS! THANKS! How do we test whether the "Pressure/Vacuum" cap is working or not? We could have "the right cap" but if it is not functioning properly and doing its job, it's probably the same as having the wrong cap on it.

COULD be quite a nice car! But we do not know from those few pics and details. As some have said on this thread, good up-close pics inclusive of the Fender Tag (AKA Body Plate) interior, trunk, and engine compartment would go a long way towards a higher price than 30K. Plus you have to remember...

@ DEATHPROOFCUDA - WOW!! Thanks Bud - that site is fantastic! Already gave me more info today than I ever knew about those distributors. Can't thank you enough! Next question: (They do not address this in the vids ' cause it is new car - at the time - servicing) If I just disconnect that...

As Mopar Jack said, the caulk from the box stores is not very sticky. Possible to heat it up slightly and see if it gets stickier before it cools back down. Might work. Otherwise do like Mopar Jack said and get the kit from Performance Car Graphics. At $65 it is pricey for plastic film and some...

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for the welcome! It is appreciated. I see a couple of conflicting comments (advice) on what to do regarding the distributor issue. (I kind of expected that) In my other four cars, they all have the Mopar Electronic Ignition Conversion system and they run fantastic! (In all...

Welcome! I too just joined. I have WANTED a 70 Challenger R/T for almost 40 years! Finally attained that dream this summer (2023). Many decades in the making. I also still have my first car - since 1979. A '71 Charger R/T.
