    Melling HV Oil pump question

    Does anyone know if there is much difference in pressure between the standard oil pump output and the high volume pump? Obviously volume of oil is increased due to the deeper impeller and housing but I was wondering how this affects the oil pressure?

    360 J heads & cc question

    Hi, I am building a 1971 340 for my 71 Challenger (not the original engine, this came out of a 340 Duster). The heads that it had on it, which I have no idea if they were original for that block, are 360 J heads which have that cast into them; with the smaller 1.88 intake. I would assume that...

    Challenger R/T dash badge doesn't fit

    Hi - this is not a question really, just an irritating observation. I bought a nice used Challenger R/T dash badge (I think you call them "emblem") from Ebay USA to sit into the space on the RH side of the dash pad. But it doesn't fit. The indent is too narrow. Now this dash pad is actually...

    Does anyone know what sort of clip or fastener holds the stainless trims (bottom of vinyl) to the C-Pillar? There are posts that stick out of the body C pillar but what actually slides inside the stainless mold so that they can clip on to the posts? And what are they called so I can try and...

    Finding Date of Manufacture (D.O.M)

    hi All, How do I find the D.O.M. of my 71 Challenger if the black information decal is missing ?(from the drivers door). My 73 Rallye has it but my 71 doesn't, I presume it was missing before I bought this car. Does the VIN tag on the crash pad near the windscreen have a code for the D.O.M...

    Trunk torsion bars question

    Hi, I have just been reading about trunk torsion bars on this forum and people saying that the 71 models went to a single TB. Well my 71 Chal has the double TBs with the slots on both sides and everything all original factory looking, the same as my 73 Rallye. So I'm not sure what happened...

    R/T Hood pins

    Hi, I would like to ask if anyone knows how or if, the factory installed the hood pins which were optional on the R/T cars and Cudas etc. Were they done at the factory or at the dealership? It would be quite feasible for them to be added at the dealership. Or were they done manually at the...

    constant drive differential unit - advice/experience please

    Edit: I added this comment later: The following post is mostly rubbish, so don't read it, I did some research and the question asked is null and void. As most people know, virtually all differential units that are not 'open' types are LSD type / SureGrip / PosiTraction etc, in that they drive...

    Can Anyone ID these Billet Main caps?

    Hi, can anyone offer their opinion on what brand main caps these are? They were not cheap ones, they are billet, and were installed about 11 years ago. The engine builder said they were billet steel and cost around $500 at the time. (can't remember what brand, that's why I'm asking here)...
