Several years ago, I bought a tool for my son and can't remember what it's called to buy one for myself. I know someone here knows. The tool reminds me of a miniature chainsaw bar. A ratchet attaches to one end and a socket attaches to the other. It allows the socket to reach up into a tight...

As my progress slowly continues on the "second resurrection" of my '70 Challenger R/T, the next item on my list was the installation of the Bouchillon Torqueflite Cable Kit. I must admit, I'm impressed with the quality and engineering of the kit. I don't mind paying a premium for quality...

Somewhere I saw spray paint that is used to touchup yellow chromate plated parts. I've tried a few standard colors like "Rubbed Bronze" and "Antique Brass" but it just doesn't look right. If you know what I'm looking for, do you have a source? TIA MODERATOR: YOU CAN DELETE UPDATE: I found it...

After months of work, I don't remember the correct orientation of the plug for the Reverse Switch on my Torqueflite. It can be attached either way. Does it attach as shown in the picture or rotated 180 degrees? As a Manufacturing Engineer for 25 years, I always tried to get the Design Engineers...

Part of the resurrection of my '70 Challenger is the installation of the new Super Streetfighter Torqueflite. I spent a little extra time securing the lines to prevent them from touching. I ordered some mounting clamps for 5/16" brake line. Then I made up a couple threaded "studs" by cutting off...

I'm installing a TCI 727 in my '70 Challenger 440. The cooling line ports come plugged from TCI and I need to make new cooling lines. I know automotive flare fittings are usually 37 degree flares. I have a couple of 45 degree flaring tools and need to buy the fittings for the 727 anyway. Has...

Once again I am seeking help from the E-Body Circle of Wisdom. I am having no luck finding the correct molded upper radiator hose for my '70 Challenger R/T with a 440 Non-A/C (originally 383). Every hose I have found is for a radiator with the top hose going to the passenger side of the...

Someone posted some photos and a writeup on bending an aftermarket fuel gauge sending unit float arm to read EMPTY more accurately. I have used the [SEARCH] function, but can't come up with the article. Maybe I haven't put in the correct search terms or maybe it wasn't on this E-Body Forum. Does...

While Ohio enjoys a "Tax Free" week, I've decided to order the new gears for the Challenger project. I am undecided between a 3.55 and 3.76(?) ratio. It's a mildly built 440 with a new 2200-2400 stall converter, new TCI Super Streetfighter Torqueflite and 8 3/4 rear. She was a 12.90 second...

Never too old to learn. I replaced the Harmonic Balancer on my '70 440 engine today. When I was degreeing the engine, I noticed the TDC mark on the original vibration damper was nearly 1/4" off. I have since read that, with age and heat, the bond in the construction of the vibration damper can...

When I replace the gears in my 489 case, I want to use a solid sleeve and shims instead of the crush sleeve. I see prices from $25 to $60. Is there a kit that's better than another?

I need a source for the bolts to mount my Torqueflite to the 440 in my '70 Challenger. I don't see anything listed at ARP. Suggestions?

My plans to attend the MoPar Nationals in August just blew up! June 10, I ordered TTI Ceramic Coated through Mancini Racing. Today, ELEVEN days later, Mancini notified me they are backordered and not expected to ship from TTI until JULY 25. There is no way I'll be able to fab the rest of the...

I've decided to go with an electric puller fan when putting my '70 Challenger (440, auto) back together. I'm trying to decide on a fan with or without a shroud. The ones I've seen without a shroud seem to have a narrow band around the outside of the fan blades. Would that style (without shroud)...

What are the proper wheel cylinder sizes (bore), front and rear, for 1970 Challenger R/T with 11 inch drum brakes all around? As always... thanks for your help.

I'm going to need to buy a Kickdown Cable Kit for my '70 R/T (440). There seems to be a BIG price difference between the Lokar Kit at $130 and several others below $50. Does anyone have any experience with the less expensive ones, or is it "You get what you pay for?"

I'm afraid I know the answer, but there's always a chance. I purchased new carpet for my '70 Challenger many years ago when I planned on converting it to a 4-speed. Over the last 18 years, my plans changed. Is there any way I can use the 4-speed carpet with the column shift auto car? I actually...

I'm finally at a point when I'm installing my subframe connectors on the '70 Challenger R/T. I am working with it on a lift and have an adjustable post to hold the connector in place. However, juggling the connector on the post while turning the height adjustment and getting everything lined up...
