    Exhaust Ports Misaligned???

    I finally tracked down an annoying exhaust leak to an unlikely cause. The #7 port in the exhaust manifold don't match the port in the head. The engine is a 318 out of a 1970 truck with the original truck manifolds. Compared to a gasket, the shape and size are correct, but the position is...

    Another Rear Quarter Window Question

    I've finally got my windows adjusted pretty well, thanks to the info on this forum. I have one final question that I can't find anything on. On the quarter window regulator, there is an adjusting screw and lock nut, similar to the two that position the top and bottom of the track. Ir's...

    WTB Door Window Regulator Spring

    I need the coiled spring for the window regulator on one side. I believe they are all the same, right and left, for any year. I can't find them anywhere online. Can anyone help?

    8-3/4 Axle Shafts

    My '74 Challenger has the 8-3/4 non-posi axle. Unfortunately, when I took it apart to replace the bearings and seals, I didn't keep track of which axle shaft came from the left and right sides. Does it matter? I know the bearing adjustment ring goes on the right hand side, but just wondering...

    Differences between 318 mechanical fuel pumps?

    My 74 Challenger has a 1970 318 in it. I assumed that the fuel pumps were all the same, but several vendors list a different part for the 70 and the 74. Does anyone know what the differences are? Are they interchangeable? Maybe they are physically the same, but different delivery pressure...

    Corrected Geometry?

    Hotchkiss has a "corrected geometry" tubular upper control arm. They say it's necessary to get the caster right on lowered cars. Is it worth the cost for a street driven car? Mine will be lowered a little, but nothing extreme. Is it really that big of a problem with the stock arms? I...

    Door skins?

    I've started rebuilding a '74 Challenger that my son and I built about 15 years ago.He put a lot of miles on it and it needs a lot of work again. This time, though, it's for me. Compared with the first time, there's a lot more re-pop parts available, plus the internet makes it waaaaay easier...

    Need Small Portion of Rear Quarter - Passenger side, upper rear corner only

    I just starting on my '74 Challenger and I'll be replacing a lot of sheet metal. This is as good a place to start as any. The car was hit and crunched the rear quarter just above the tail light. The tail light panel and trunk lid aren't damaged, and the rest of the quarter is okay. I'm...

    A500 vs.A518 ?

    This has probably been discussed on this forum, but I couldn't find much on the A500. I'm changing to an overdrive tranny in my '74 Challenger (318/A904). I'm hoping the answers to a few questions will help me make up my mind. 1. I understand the A518 is based on the 727 and the A500 is...

    Do I need a 26" radiator?

    My car doesn't have A/C, so I plan to install a Classic Auto Air system. It's a '74 Challenger with 318/auto and 22" radiator. I've heard that factory A/C cars all had a 26" radiator, so I'm wondering if I should change to the larger size - it needs to be replaced anyway. Do these cars tend...

    Newbie from Wichita, Kansas

    I was real happy when I found this great site! I just re-acquired a '74 Challenger. It was my son's first car, which we finished the first time almost 15 years ago. It was the proverbial "field car" in mud up to the doors. We had to fabricate frame rails (I see repops are now widely...
