I'm going to replace the engine harness next week. The car was built January 14, 1974 so I ordered the kit from after October 1973.
Specifically, the solenoid for the seatbelt interlock is still on the inner fender of the driver's side and is wired up. However for as long as I've owned the car...

(Don't often do it) but I did a really hard-start (from stop) burnout last fall and the rear bumper of my 74 seems very slightly loose on the right side only, but perhaps more toward the right center. My forte isn't bodywork etc. What's the best method to inspect/tighten the bolts? I'm assuming...
Hello, Does anybody know where to find an OLDER STYLE Gates 31523 Radiator cap? Obviously in excellent condition (See attached photo).
I bought a new cap last fall but the top of the cap has changed from having a roundish shape to having two "winglets" either side and unfortunately rubs on the...
Ordered a new Saginaw Power Steering Pump (Lares Part No. 12094) on Rock Auto. Also want to replace the pressure & return lines which unfortunately Rock Auto doesn't carry. After checking around different auto stores around my home, also came up empty.
Checked with Speedway Motors. The tech...
Have a remanufactured power steering pump from Steer & Gear (Part # 2040). It's been leaking for a while and want to get around to fixing etc.
As I'm in Brampton, ON Canada it's an expense/pain to ship the pump to Columbus, OH for a rebuild back & forth etc. Does anybody know of a compatible...
Hello, Long story short.
- Installed new dual Sparton Horns the other day. (Previously had a temporary single horn I completely forgot about). Just to get the car certified/safety years ago!
- Installed a new correct relay. (CHRYSLER Item # 3764532 and connected to the fuse box - existing...
Hello, From what was originally thought to be a shifter issue late last season turned into a bigger issue.
As some of you may remember my 4 speed (A833) was getting stuck in 3rd gear. Granted the shifter was a little sloppy so over the winter ordered a Hurst Competition II ready for installation...
Hello, Was wondering if anybody else has been using the Powermaster PWM-17509 alternator, using a voltage regulator bolted to the firewall. (I've had this on the Challenger since 2006 but it's starting to fade).
Checked around and the PWM-17509 is on backorder BUT I can get the PWM-175091 which...
Started to hear a clicking/spring noise from around the clutch pedal return spring when pressing down the clutch pedal. Looked for any obvious lube points but can't seem to get it right. Anybody else have this issue?
Thanks!
This year's winter / spring project is now behind me, transmission & rear end upgrade etc (special thanks to Chryco for all your advice and tips)!
- Had the Challenger out for the first time yesterday and there's an issue with the speedometer. As I changed the rear end from 3:91 to 3:55 I...
Just got an "urgent" call from the mechanic who is working on my transmission saying there is an "Serious Issue with the steering column". "The steering could go anytime". He's saying the the lower steering column is needing immediate replacement! The car originally had manual steering but a...
Getting things ready for the driving season and wanted to throw this out...
Before I put the Challenger away last fall for the winter I had an issue with the transmission getting stuck in 3rd occasionally. Also it was hard getting into 1st without going through reverse when idling/stopped...
Finally about to start the 3.55 swap from the 3.91 rear end.
As the 8.75 rear end has an oil capacity of 4.4 pints I'm throwing it out for discussion to make sure any oil over fill is ok??
As oil is sold by the liter in Canada I'm going to use 2 liters of gear oil plus 4 oz posi additive. Net...
Does anybody have a cast iron thermostat housing they want to sell? Don't need urgently but after looking at EBay some sellers want as much as the item for shipping to Canada!!!
(It can easily ship USPS as a low value shipment) without all the EBay shipping drama & expense.
Thx Steve
Some of you may have seen my post last week when I signed up regarding changing my 74 Challenger from 3.91 to either 3.23 or 3.55 rear end.
I do have the option of buying a 3.23 cheap from a friend, but after thinking it over may decline. I'm thinking more about keeping the 3.91 (489 casting)...
Hello Everybody, This is an excellent forum and can't wait to jump in! My ride is a 1974 Challenger with a 360 stroked to 408. A833 - 4 speed with 3.91 (8 3/4) rear end. Thinking of changing to either 3.23 or 3.55 so I can enjoy driving more at cruising speeds etc. Interested in reading some...
