Hi Friends: Does anyone know if there is a different brake pedal for manual brakes than for power brakes? Ever since we rebuilt the 1970 Challenger the brake pedal is way too high, much higher than the clutch pedal. I believe the car originally had manual brakes. Now with the power brake...
I had a similar issue. Checked all the difficult stuff first. From time to time I would lose signal lights etc. along with gauges. Turned out to be a corroded fuse holder. Clean holders, check fuses, then dab dielectric grease on the holder prongs. Have a look at the simple things first...
You might ask the folks at Coker Tire for advise. We bought road wheels and beauty rings for the Challenger restoration a few years back from Coker and all fit well.
I bought our '70 Cuda new in Sept. 1970 when I had just turned 21. During the last 4 or 5 years I have begun removing the Ziebart undercoat a section at a time each winter and repainting the factory colour. The car was never winter driven, so the Ziebart was a huge mistake. I am sending these...

OK: The Challenger conv. has a 440 bored 30 over, A833 18 spline 4 spd., center force clutch, not numbers matching. Started with 3.91 rear but went to...
Quick intro: Bought the Cuda new in 1970. Bought the Challenger in early 80s, full rotisserie restoration in 2012 to 2016.
Great to be in touch with fellow Mopar junkies.
