    Back Up Camera option

    I love the idea of a backup camera, but I have to admit I have two vehicles with them and I still turn my head and look out the rear back glass when driving in reverse. Old habits! However the backup camera in the Cherokee is great for the tow hitch! Don't see myself putting a tow hitch on my...

    Upgrading 73 Challenger with 318.

    Yup, just tweak the 318 a little to get some more performance and save up for that 360 Magnum crate engine! 😁

    Upgrading 73 Challenger with 318.

    You really need to consider changing the pistons (something like KB167STD) to get more compression for the bigger chambered 360 heads. Seriously, with higher compression pistons, 360 heads and a 650 cfm carb, it would perform pretty much like a 340 with the 340 camshaft. Assuming it's a later...

    Engine idle not working

    On the small block Mopar, the fuel pump works off an eccentric lobe on the front of the camshaft. If worn, a new fuel pump won't make any difference to the fuel flow.

    SKIP ADS POSTING is a SCAM, GET RID OF IT!!!!!!

    Stupid software on computers is one of the big reasons I saved my money and retired at 55! That stuff just drives my nuts! I loved programing in FORTRAN and Basic, but that's revealing my age! 🙂

    Dash light bar, why are they different rally and non rally.

    The Rallye cluster has four big gauges and need a bulb for each. The standard gauge just has the monster speedometer and smaller gauges with the one on the right black unless you have a clock there which 85% or more didn't. So there bulbs (cheaper to make) works just fine. Actually the three...

    727 reverting back to stock

    The Carl Munroe book is another must have transmission book. It's mentioned in the link @Challenger RTA posted.

    727 reverting back to stock

    With that book, the proper tools and a little bit of common sense, the 727 is pretty easy to rebuild. I like to get a simple Pioneer rebuilt kit with seals, rings and gaskets and buy my clutches and steels from A&A. Picture this, you're cruising along about 30 mph and somebody in a (name the...

    signal switch and key buzzer sw

    If it were me, I'd file the tang on the arm a little thinner just because it would be easier to do. I like your buzzer switch repair. Don't worry about a new one until you discover if your repair worked or not. They seem to be only available as NOS (high dollar) or used which may or may not be...

    72 bucket seat backs on a 73 seat?

    With the 72 foam and seat covers, I don't see why it wouldn't work. 👍

    727 BB valve body casting and part numbers

    Any 1970 727 valve body would work perfectly. Other valve bodies from 67-73 can be made to work with slight modifications (which would be included in a shift kit I mentioned in your other post). You can even use a 904 valve body, but you need to modify the center rear mounting bolt and the...

    727 reverting back to stock

    Since you're dealing with a valuable transmission that is numbers matching, you need to find out if other modifications were made such as sometimes the governor weights (inside the tail housing) are removed with reverse valve bodies. If you still have the governor weights, it's pretty much just...

    Looking for pictures of a color combo

    I don't have a light gold Challenger photo, but it sure would look very nice with dual chrome racing mirrors and a black vinyl top. and black strobe stripes coming out of the fender moulding! So back to original gets my vote! And to your question, yes, interior with have white seats, white...
