I’ve been able to drive my new-to-me ‘Cuda for several weeks now, and have been getting to know the car and it’s sounds, behaviors and build details. Turns out the motor has aluminum Edelbrock heads installed on it. I thought they were highly ported iron heads at first. But a magnet confirmed...

Thanks gents. Agree that the need to alter the pin opening is a bit strange, but getting the door to quarter alignment right means I need to do that. The existing door gaps have some room to go make this adjustment. first picture shows the door alignment with it closed and latched. The...

I need to lower the door latch pin on my car to better align the closed door to the quarter panel. Loosening the latch pin with a torx wrench, and sliding it downward to the limit of the hole in the jamb does not give me enough adjustment downward. The pin needs to go lower by perhaps 3/32”...

Looks like you are really turning the corner to completion. The upholstery job looks mighty fine…

welcome! From one newbie to another. Looking forward to some pictures once she arrives in OZ.

Welcome from CT. nice to see it all coming together.

Fabulous build. I like your bold move width the gray paint choice against the blue interior. are you still thinking about applying Hemi billboards? What colors are you considering?

Badass, old school approach with your Challenger… the decals on the quarter glass and the Lakewood bars rock.

agree with challenger RTA to check your spark advance with a timing light, or swap out dizzy with a known good one if you can. Could it be a fuel delivery problem? I recently solved a stumble on a different motor that would occur when applying larger throttle openings while driving. I first...

Now THAT’S a barn find! Bravo. Welcome to the site! I am curious to see how you will treat the car from a preservation / restoration standpoint. It’s going to be an adventure!

dbones, Have you seen the red 73 Barracuda hot rod, 440, a833 4spd listed on BAT? 440-Powered 1973 Plymouth Barracuda

Psycho, thanks for the input. Yep, it’s going to be a bit of trial and error. I don’t think I need a big boost in octane, but i‘d like to find a safe and reasonably economic blend.

Hey Matt, welcome to the site- I’m new here myself. Wishing you “Happy hunting” for a good car to start with.

I drove my newly acquired '72 'Cuda today, and am getting the feel of it bit by bit. As I was getting more aggressive with the throttle openings, I believe I heard some light knock "pinking" at around 3500+ RPM. The motor is a 440>496 stroker with CR listed at 10.4:1 with Diamond pistons, iron...

That concentration of time in the garage sure has paid off. Nice build.

Thanks all. Glad to be here. :thumbsup:

Sheesh, what a catastrophic injury - from a lump of coal… we never know what’s around the next bend, do we? but it seems persistence is paying off for you after having both the car and parts stash moved wherever you go. >>>Started buying parts, there is alot more parts now then back when I...

Welcome, from a Mopar Noob. Cool to think you’ve had your challenger for 40 years. I’ll be watching the progress.

Ha! Yes, shortened a bit... I’ll go with the too much power going to the rear end choice.

Hey- thanks for the warm welcome! And I should know better: pictures or it didn’t happen. heywodja, I hope I didn’t jinx myself with my comment on it being a completed car. But there seems to be nothing I need to do right now other than put a plate on it and drive it. But, are they ever...
