    Retrosound 4x10” Dash speaker / Dash Pad Modification

    I have a set of 6x9s that I also bought from the Turnswitch site, but I haven't gotten around to installing them yet. I'm not much of an audiophile, so my opinion on sound quality probably isn't worth much. After not having any tunes for years, I was just happy to have a working radio and...

    Carpet

    That was not my experience with the ACC mass backed carpet. Floor contour molding was not perfect where the seat belt retractors sit on the floor for 70 models, but it was pretty darn good. Here's a pic before final trimming for the door sill plates.

    Carpet

    I got the ACC carpet from RockAuto. I ordered the stock weave style, but opted for the mass backing. ACC carpet, mass backing?

    Undercoating Removal Advice

    I've used heat gun or a propane torch. Scrapes off pretty easily after a little bit of heat.

    Gasoline fumes on my Cuda 440

    Personally, I wouldn't hang my hat on the fact that a professional carb shop rebuilt your carbs, unless they also installed them on the car and then tuned it. If they didn't, then all they can provide is a general "out of the box" tuning setup that should at least allow the car to run. Since...

    Gasoline fumes on my Cuda 440

    Have you looked at the plugs? Where is timing at? How are your carb tuning skills? You own a six pack carbureted musclecar. If you ever want it to live up to its potential, go buy a Holley book, a tuning kit, wideband O2 meter, and start watching some Youtube videos.

    Installing a trans in the old days by yourself; the way we old timers had to do it!

    I bench pressed the four speed back into my Cuda one afternoon after high school. Feeling all proud of myself, I told my dad about my progress when he got home from work. He looked at the work bench in the garage and pointed out the new throwout bearing still sitting there in the box. :mad:

    Gasoline fumes on my Cuda 440

    Is this a recent problem/change on a car that is familiar to you, or is the car new to you?

    70 Hemi ‘cuda

    I believe auto cars came standard with the 8-3/4. Didn't follow this auction, but looks like you did well. Congrats! :thumbsup:

    4-Speed Tunnel Hump: Fully Welded or Spot Welded from Factory?

    Maybe you are using the terms interchangeably, but technically the humps are not "spot welded", they were tack welded in place using a mig welder around the perimeter of the hump. If you need them, I can probably dig up pics of mine from before I removed it for a floor repair. If I recall...

    Can a 70 have a 71 VIN?

    Even if you are just looking for a rust free E-body, the numbers discrepancy is likely to reduce the resale value forever.

    New Here! 1970 Challenger 426 Question

    Nothing wrong with trying to learn about these cars, but what is your real objective here? If you are trying to help your buddy sell it for top dollar, it's probably worth having it appraised by a knowledgeable and reputable inspector.

    New Here! 1970 Challenger 426 Question

    You know that a broadcast sheet is the right one for the car if the vehicle identification number matches. If the VIN matches, then the only question is whether or not the broadcast sheet is real or a fake. Lots of faked documentation out there, especially for high dollar cars like anything...

    Timing Questions

    If you set timing to 15 degrees BTDC with vacuum advance disconnected, then connected the vacuum advanced to a ported vacuum connection on your carb and your timing advanced to 35+ degrees then the throttle blades on your carb are open too far. You need to adjust the throttle blades closed so...

    pricing engine work

    I'd do your homework before installing a set of KB-162s in a stockish 383 block. IIRC, unless the the block has been decked significantly, and using small combustion chamber heads, KB-162s will likely yield a pretty anemic compression ratio. I'd bet the build wouldn't even hit the stock 70 383...

    Assuming that both cars are in similar condition, I'd keep the Cuda.
