I have always liked mopar oval air cleaners. Original TA setup is expensive but next best thing seems to be Ramcharger/Air Grabber setup from B-body. There were little to none information about these air cleaners in e-body especially with TA hood. So i decided to bite the bullet and tried...

I have 10 mm hard line from tank to mechanical pump. 10 mm is about same as 3/8.

Thank you for the input. I checked few things before i move on to cruise tuning. First my vacuum gauge is old and real vacuum was 3 inches more which means in idle 900rpm vacuum was 16" and in gear 700 rpm it is 12". I looked over all vacuum lines. For example PCV valve was stuck closed, but it...

I had 195 thermostat lying around and changed that. Now the temperatures while city driving and idling are between 195 and 210. I m planning to order 180 thermostat. By the way with these higher temperatures it seemed to me that engine is running little better. I also used vacuum gauge. Idle in...

Hi. My setup is big block 400, Edelbrock E-street heads, air gap intake, Comp Cams 218 duration flat tappet cam ja Street Demon 780 carb. Compression with stock bottom end and 75cc heads should be between 8...9. Timing at idle is 18 degrees and thermostat is 160 degree. It is just street car...

Made some progress with interior. I got the seats covered. Made some changes with the layout to get rear and front seats to mach. Also whole interior is a little bit more beige than original. More closer to the headliner colour. There are still some problems with interior. Some plastics are...

I would like this look.

Been working with lot of small stuff. Car is driving and even the brake problems got almost solved. I bleeded the brakes with vacuum and adjusted rear drums. Now the pedal goes hard at about half way to the floor. Might not be as it should but much better than before. Maybe anyone now what is...

I m using Innovate wideband kit and gauge shows me air fuel ratio 13.0 at idle with highest possible vacuum. Not using gauge to show me lamda number, if that is what you meant.

Hello. I m having issues with setting the carb. I have 600 vacuum secondaries holley. Engine is 400 cid and the cam has 218/224 duration at 50 lift. With vacuum gauge i have about 12 inch of vacuum at 750 rpm idle. Timing is about 15 degrees at idle. I bought wideband for further tuning for...

Car is 72 challenger.

Hello My fuse panel is just hanging under the dashboard. Could anyone shoot a picture where and which holes was it mounted from the factory. When i bought the car, harness was out of the car.

Working with smaller things now. Does anybody know how to get rid of spongy brake pedal. I have bleed the brakes over a gallon of fluid. No bubbles, no leaks but pedal is always soft. I adjusted rear pads as close to the drum as possible but no luck. Strange is that i even can not pump the...

Hello I have made some progress with interior. This car was probably a parts car in one time it's life. When I got it had most of the parts, but most interior parts were unusable in regular way. One doorcard was green, other was blue, back panels where black, one kick panel was black, other is...

Have had same time work with the car. 2-speed wiper motor was stuck, rotor was not rotating and grease was all stiff. Cleaned everything put new grease and put everything together. Seem to be working, even backing down mechanism. Dual 2,5 inch exhaust with one pair on mufflers under the back...
