    What width/thickness of butyl tape for the windshield?

    Generic answer for others who may read this: If you have replacement glass you need to carefully measure, or mock up the glass and trim with spacers to find the distance. Some newer glass is thinner and lighter than the original. Obviously if you set the glass too low the trim will be loose...

    WTB 11 3/4” disc caliper bracket (only need one)

    You probably already know, but any junk yards near you? I believe a Chrysler Cordoba had 11-3/4 discs.

    1970 Challenger 440 Heating Problems

    I found the lower radiator hose, which is the suction hose, on my 70 Cuda would collapse when I revved it up. I discovered this by accident; but anyway… some radiator hoses come with springs in them, most do not. So at operating temp, open the hood and work the throttle while looking at the...

    Aftermarket (AMD) quarter panel installation adjustment

    In my opinion… and I have used all of these, except Dynacorn: Sherman is terrible, Goodmark is a little better, but best used for patch panels; and I haven’t seen Dynacorn in person except at their exhibit.

    Aftermarket (AMD) quarter panel installation adjustment

    I like AMD very much, but they usually need some massaging. If you need to, you could make a couple of relief cuts through the trunk channel, jack it up until it stays in place, and mig weld the cuts closed. Easy to grind and the area will be covered by the trunk weatherstrip.

    Need help with registering a Restomod in California

    Well, I believe that is only required for a “special construction” like building a new car from a Dynacorn body, but things may have changed since I left Ca in 2017. I will look around and see what I can find.

    Aftermarket (AMD) quarter panel installation adjustment

    It’s hard to tell exactly, but it looks like the trunk lid is lined up nicely with the filler (Dutchman) panel, and the 1/4 by the tail panel. So the center of the 1/4 along the trunk lid needs to come up a little. Try a small block of wood, and a jack, in the low spot to see if you can gain a...

    Run on

    Often times it is caused by too lean of an idle screw adjustment. I know this sounds contradictory but what happens is guy will turn the idle screw in to lean up the idle mixture and also turn in the idle adjustment screw to raise the idle, this can cause some gas to be pulled from the Venturi...

    Holley efi

    I did a Fitech system on my Ramcharger with a Magnum 360 swap. I also had problems with the temp sensor not being read correctly by the ecu. It would read ok up to 179 degrees and then drop to 145 every time (with a 195 thermostat). I had to update to a new handheld which allows the ecu to be...

    Holley efi

    I assume you have checked the afr and it is not too lean. Check to see if your lower radiator hose is collapsing from suction when you rev it up. If your lower hose doesn’t have a spring inside it may do this. I had a Cuda that was doing this. I changed a fan clutch and then to a flex fan...

    roof skin replacement question?

    I don’t remember anything being between the roof skin and braces on mine, but if you look closely at the top of the braces when the skin is off you may see if there was anything up there, or not. I agree with the foam tape idea. Btw, I used panel adhesive along the sides with the rain...

    engine mount bracket

    The passenger side bracket will work as is. The 318 driver’s side is 1/2 or 7/16 inch wider than the 360 Magnum mount but can be used with a spacer, or a couple of washers, etc.

    Dynacorn Challenger body at SEMA

    This original thread is from 2019. I just checked the Dynacorn Bodies website and it looks like the Challenger body has been discontinued.

    Always great to converse with other MOPAR men!

    You probably already know, but for others that read this later on, I want to add a little bit to what Moparleo said. Magnum 360s are balanced differently from LA 360s. They use different harmonic balancers and different combinations of weighted or neutral converters with weighted or neutral...

    Charging Issues

    I assume this was a running engine, and now it’s not. A little more info on your build would help with diagnosis. With the key in the run position check the field wires to the alt for 12v. One of them , I forget which one, green I think, should have 12v. This excites/energizes the...

    Trunk Pan Replacement Help Needed

    I think this is the way to go, so much of the original pan is gone. There are probably only 15-20 spot welds holding the remainder of the pan/shock tower area. Easy enough to drill those out and remove the whole piece.

    Torsion Bar End Swap

    It looks the factory protective coating is mostly gone off that one bar. I would treat it with a rust converter, like Ospho, and then spray it with an non-paintable (stays flexible) undercoating. If you eventually upgrade to new T-bars they will probably come without any coating on them. You...

    The Tremec comes in several configurations of shifter location, just make sure you get the one you need.

    B & M Tranny Pan

    I have installed a couple of 2 inch deep trans pans with no clearance issues. I forgot the brands, maybe B&M and Derale… anyway my 2 cents is get a pan with a drain plug, or weld in a bung. (Allen style pipe plug) won’t hang down. And get the steel core pan gasket, it’s definitely worth the...
