    Western Sport Special

    Are you able to take photos of the fender tags at a slightly different angle? Sometimes lighting and angles of photos hide certain things on fender tags. I don't want to give away too much because there are a lot of unscrupulousness people out there that try and fake stuff! And a 340 WSS is...

    Carter AVS Idle Issues

    The Edelbrock carb is very similar to the original AVS. Compare metering rods between the two carbs since you say the Edelbrock ran OK.

    Carter AVS Idle Issues

    Your camshaft is actually pretty big compared to a stock camshaft. One trick to get better idle at lower rpms is to drill a small hole in each primary throttle blade. This will let in a little more air at idle. If you don't have a set, get some numbered drill bits and start with a #45 and see if...

    Greetings from Nebraska/Idaho

    Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Nice Cuda and Bee! And you past @Challenger RTA 's test with the correct answers! 😁

    Correct stat?

    I run 195° thermostats in every car I own. If I remember correctly, when we had the 70 Challenger roundy round race car, we used a 180°, but it never ran more than 100 miles between races!

    Why does my engine only start after I release the key??

    The ground strap going to the engine block to the bolt holding the voltage regulator and ECU bracket that @Challenger RTA posted above is a must for all our old Mopars! Anyone looking at this post and doesn't have a similar ground to the engine and ECU, go but one and install it! Even if you...

    71 Challenger Grill Inserts - Update

    Very nice looking!

    Western Sport Special

    On closer look at the original post fender tags, they kinda look suspicious.

    Western Sport Special

    My 70 Challenger "Kitten" is a Western Sport Special (one of the 381 with a 383). The 340 WSS are the rarest. Most WSS were built in the Los Angeles plant, but it closed in mid-1970 and all 70 E-Bodies were built at Hamtramck plant after that. And Hamtramck is notorious for doing things a little...

    Rallye Dash Turn Indicator Lenses

    The lenses are melted in place from the factory. So when you remove the old worn out ones, you'll take some of the plastic with them. So, yes, you're going to need to solder a couple of small dabs of plastic to secure the new lenses.

    Sell or Trade? 70 Gran Coupe

    Since I have both, and it sounds like you have access to both, I'd go with the soda blaster first. The soda blaster will gently remove the black paint. Then clean everything up with the pressure washer.

    Fuel Starvation/Tank Issues

    WTF!! That would definitely plug everything up!

    Rally odometer acting weird

    Sounds like a plastic peg is missing off one of the "gears" (0-9 wheels?) and it slips back. Not an easy fix!

    Restoration back to a good driver.

    Wow! That is the shortest fender tag I have ever seen! You have got to keep that on the car!!

    Hello from Florida

    M05 for door edge moulding. Maybe @Cuda Hunter knows as he has lots of knowledge of rare options.

    Hello from Florida

    Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Not a bad looking Challenger! Do you have the vinyl roof chrome and rear bumper? If not, you can buy new ones. I like the door edge chrome, that's pretty rare!

    Brake caliper stress

    Crud! I'm glad I have 71 disc brakes on my 71 Barracuda! Crazy how some things changed from year to year!

    71 Challenger Rear license plate mounting

    70 is it's own oddity and 71 is a crazy mix of 70 and later E-Bodies but closer to the 70.

    Erratic oil pressure

    It's most likely the pressure spring, but you really need to take the pump off to deal with it. And at that point, I'm putting a new pump on. $120 for a Melling M63 is better that a new 440!

    Fuel Starvation/Tank Issues

    Hit the main fuel line coming out of the fuel tank with an air hose with about 120 psi! It will blow a clogged sock off and verify that's what's wrong. I've always been leary of any coating inside a fuel tank. You can buy new filter/socks.
