    A/C solenoid

    I did this on my 371 Stroker with a Vintage air system. I tapped off the compressor power lead. Works great, but sometimes I have to bump the throttle to get it to engage. The solenoids are not strong enough to push the linkage to raise the rpm’s, they extend and lock open to prevent the linkage...

    running too cold?

    I went ahead and pulled the thermostat; it was marked as a 180 degree. When i put in hot water, it started to open at 180 and popped fully open at 185 degrees. I bought a 195-degree unit at Advance Auto, (in stock for 9.49). The gauge moved higher, and the Infared thermostat read 183 degrees on...

    running too cold?

    I know most members have the opposite problem, so, what is the best solution to get it up? Engine block is cooler than that.

    running too cold?

    Hello everyone, I had my Challenger out for a drive today on a nice 70 degree day, Like always, the temp gauge reads on the low end of the non-rally gauge. When I got home, I checked it with an Infared thermometer, it read 170 degrees. I checked the rad, thermostat and upper and lower hoses...

    Radio static issues

    So… my Bluetooth started breaking up like the radio. Not wanting to drop close to 100 on an alternator right now. Took the chance and ordered the above filter on Amazon. Spliced it into the acc power lead and no improvement. Decided to try the always hot side (for the presets) and the problem...

    Would an in-line noise filter help?

    Radio static issues

    Good call, removing the belt eliminates the noise. So how do I fix that?

    Radio static issues

    I need help with a frustrating issue. My Retro Sound radio has static as if it is cutting out with the engine running. No issue with the engine off. No issue when streaming thru Bluetooth. I added another ground to the head unit, but no better. Changed dist. Cap and rotor too. Even ran a...

    Firm feel or PS T. Im wondering which one to put under my 73 Challenger.

    I am running a Firm Feel stage 3 on my 71 Challenger, got rid of all the sloppiness and I can still turn it easily with one hand. Graveyard Cars has Firm Feel rebuild all of their steering boxes to Stage 2 specs.

    8.75 to Dana 60 Swap

    Chryco is right, the major auto parts chains carry many premade lengths, also they loan flair tools if you need to cut and flair a length.

    Leaf Spring "add-on leaf"?

    Whatever you decide on the leafs, get rid of the springs on the shocks. The upper attachment metal was not designed to carry the weight of the back end, that is the job of the leaf springs.

    One rear brakes locks

    Multiple brake cylinder swaps, self adjuster is disabled. The only isolated area is from wheel to TEE ( already had blown it out) on the diff. I can’t find info about if Wilwood M/C has an internal residual valve. Like I stated, the one wheel locks and will not release w/o opening bleeder...

    One rear brakes locks

    I need advice. Only the rear passenger drum locks up after a few miles (smokes comes off). I have adjusted the shoes, but the only way to get the brake cylinder to compress is to open the bleeder. I have bled it over and over, the cylinder has been replaced twice, flex line over axle replaced...

    Rear brake locking up

    There is clearance with the MC. I even loosed the bolts on the MC to the booster when it locked up once and the drum did not release. I can't figure out why is only one side. Time to blow out the line to the rears, especially that side. Possibly when it cooked the shoes, it damaged the wheel...

    Rear brake locking up

    I thought that, but wouldn't that affect both sides? I might disconnect the lines at both wheel cylinders and blow air thru the rubber hose at the diff.
