    What size should the overflow tank be.

    I'm thinking a gallon (4 quarts) would be sufficient. Others will chime in.

    72-74 Challenger front hood moldings, is it just screws to attach?

    With a lot of things Mopar, you could have an early 72 build that used a 71 hood. They always tried to get rid of "old inventory" from the previous year. The clips and nuts might work just fine on your hood.

    Transmission value?

    You seem to have typed an extra digit as Chrysler part numbers in the 60s and 70s only had 7 digits. Did you mean to type PK3410769? If so, that's a small block 727 used for 1970 340 cars. What condition is the transmission in? Does it need rebuilt? Is it functioning properly? For just a core...

    Switching from a 904 to a 46R?

    @Juan Veldez, go with either the 518 or 500 (46rh or 42rh) before 96 (i.e. 95 and earlier) and it's practically a bolt in deal. Just need to cut a few webs on the over drive housing and grab a new cross member and shorten the drive shaft a couple inches. Search for my posts, I have the pictures...

    A call to hughes engines!!!

    I wouldn't trust anyone to build an engine for me except myself and my son. But that's just me. I think Hughes sales some good Mopar only camshafts, but their are better folks for other stuff! Just my opinion.

    Transmission Wear and Odors

    Power steering pump? By the way, I have an 89 Dodge Cummins, shifter like crap and probably in need of a rebuild, but I put a new filter and adjusted the bands and it's running pretty damn good with 260,000+ miles on it!! One thing I like to do on any early 727 trans is add a deep pan from...

    72-74 Challenger front hood moldings, is it just screws to attach?

    Sigh, having only a 70 Challenger and 71 Barracuda kinda limits my knowledge!

    Blowing fuse for tail lamps, side markers and dash cluster???

    @transam, just know we are all agreeing you got a crappy deal that most of us have experienced. Fingers crossed the new side makers work as expected! 🤞

    AAR resto

    I have a great friend who's last name is Buick. And yes, he's a Scotsman 100%! I can respect a Buick, but my blood is Mopar! 😁

    72-74 Challenger front hood moldings, is it just screws to attach?

    The clips and nuts you show should work. I looked in my reference material and couldn't find any information except for 70 and 71 Challengers either.

    Transmission Wear and Odors

    Regarding the transmission, looks like normal clutch material as you guessed. Hopefully you adjusted the front (outside the case) and rear (inside the pan) bands while performing your filter/fluid change. That will help with the slipping. Depending on the age of the PCV valve, it could be...

    Identify the origin of this wheel?

    Plus if it's a Mopar wheel, there would be a Pentastar stamp on it somewhere.

    That rim blow does look nice! What are you going to fill the radio hole with?

    Fender Fitment 70 vs 71

    Looking at the MMC Detroit Judging and Restoration Guidelines today, I found the attached which has part numbers for the different Challenger and Barracuda fenders.

    Advice about camshaft

    I'd tear into the engine and find out for certain what's wrong before ordering parts. Like I mentioned earlier, it could be a worn lifter/camshaft lobe or even a spun connecting rod bearing. And if it winds up being a spun rod bearing, you're likely looking at a crankshaft regrind. Then a new...

    how to preserve rusty parts on 71 barracuda convertible slapstick mechanism

    I'm going to through this out there because some might be interested. Since the shifter parts in question are inside the car out of the elements, the surface rust you see will never get any worse. After all, it's 50+ years old. Once steel gets a surface rust on it, it won't get worse as the iron...

    Radiator Question

    If I remember correctly, they only made two radiator opening sizes in E-Bodies - 22" and 26". The 19" radiator has a big wide flange on one side to " fill the hole" on the 22" opening. But the radiator you go will work. But if it was mine, I'd put a 22" radiator in it. But your car, your money! 🙂
