Reinstalled an Edlebrock carb on a '72 Charger 440 and broke the little clip at the end of the accelerator cable, one in pic is very similar. The clip slips on the ball end of the accelerator and then slides onto a small shaft on the carb throttle and is secured with a cotter pin. I've searched...
Hi Gus....just ran across your thread, you impress me with the work you are doing!
How 'bout an update?
The Pontiac you restored reminds me of a car I had many moons ago, a '66 Tempest! Bought it for US$100, had a 318 that wouldnt die, I truly tried to kill it!
I am currently restoring a...
I am posting this with a heavy heart.
I love driving my Challenger, wrenching and everything that comes with it but after over 30 years I am done in 2024.
This is taking up too much of my time.
I am struggling to keep up with the everyday chores of cooking, cleaning and maintaining my home, so...
From YO website: Original fitment test done with 245/45-17 & 275/40-17 BF Goodrich G-Force T/A-KDW tires.
Those are the sizes I intend to go with and either the BFG's or Nitto NT555's
[The '73 Cuda we just bought came with old 205/55-15 & 275/60-15 on Rally wheels.]
I've had a few back in the day, had a '70 Barracuda, was my first car when I was 15, bought it for $100! [318 3 spd, ran great]. Then I had a nice '74 340 Cuda in the late 70's. Then a '72 Roadrunner, 400 Auto, got a lot of tickets and lost my license, sold it and bought a slow F-150...
Asking for too much there.
A soft tire compound [UHP] will grip well but not last.
A hard compound tire will last a long time but not grip well.
I think the BFG TA's are a compromise...
Nice collection Gary! I'm curious on your thoughts of how the E Bodies handle compared to the modern counter parts? My buddy is trying to talk me into a retro but I'm holding tight on the Classic!
Just curious, what were the issues with the BFG's? Cooper tires are fairly cheap, I just dont like the look, not "period correct" IMO.
We have Nitto's on the Challenger [great tire] and plan to put the Comp 2's on the Cuda.

Door panels look great! As far as posting pics, save the pic to your desktop, then hit "upload photos" and attach it. If that doesnt work, you may have to resize it, make it smaller.
