Great information! I’ll post what I end up with to help other dedicated Moparists

Thank you for taking the time to document your belts. It helps a lot and is appreciated.

SPD 526

One thing that I want to confirm is what the printing on the back of the buckle for a 1971 Challenger convertible looks like. I have Pontinier belts that have 028 and a lower case c above the 600-1 as in the photo. But, I also have sets with a capital A and sets with a capital B. I’d like to...

You are looking for a Sam’s Photofacts. That will show you the schematic and also a photo of the components with a listing of the parts.

One question for the convertible owners. Do the convertibles only have two rear seat belt pairs and not three like the coupes?

Ok, here’s what I have with the help of the people that posted and cross referencing agaist the part manual. For 1971 E-body code 27-convertible the front seat belts part number end in 270 or 271 and the four digit code on the tag is 9008 or 9009. We have confirmed that 271 and 9009 are...

Thanks you for all the great input. I’ll do some more digging today and make a list of the belts I have. Is there a good resource for belt lengths and tag information for the convertibles? I’ll see if I can find these in the parts book.

Thank you for the reply. I used MMC Detroit books and they are of little help (vague for 1971 and convertible). I looked at the parts manual and it has tag info, but that doesn’t seem to match a couple of the belts that I know are original to the car. Here’s a photo of the tag on the two rear...

I’m going through my parts to identify original 1971 challenger Convertible seat belts, so can get them off to restoration. Can someone with a 1971 convertible please let me know the tag numbers on your belts? I have a set that I believe is original to me car, but have boxes of belts and don’t...

The tach is just reading a square wave from your ignition. And converting it to voltage to drive your tach needle. Hook it up to a signal generator you can test the tach. The other side of the equation would be to hook an oscilloscope to the negative terminal of your coil and see the pattern...

There’s one listed on Moparts in the E-body for sale section. $75
