    Slow voltage drain. Any suggestions?

    My 71 R/T 340 4 speed has been up and running since November last year and has been sitting for a few months over the winter. I went to start it the other day and the battery was dead. It was a new 1045 amp Napa one. I threw a little charge in it and it fired up. I have a Mopar 110 amp 1 wire...

    WTB 150mph speedometer 71 challenger rt

    I finally got to go for a ride after a long restoration and the speedometer was growling and bouncing around, even with a new cable installed and the needle broke off. I imagine someone could repair it but I'm not sure if I could do it myself. I really don't want to spend 400$ for a new one...

    Been a while.

    Since I have been on the site but thank everyone that helped me with replies. Every car build is different and this was a phenomenal task for me. I got the motor broke in with the single valve springs and built an exhaust to exit near it for the break in. All went well, then swapped the old...

    Break in scheduled 08-20-23

    Got the challenger back in February, this year and have all but completely reassembled it since. Doors, glass, fenders, trim, vinyl top, brakes, rear, motor, trans electric, etc. Down to priming, antifreeze and fuel. Got sick last week and went to the doctor. He said I have Mopar sickness and I...

    I want to be sure! 71 challenger rt

    Approaching the end of the rebuilding aspect and looking for some help with the msd 6al2 upgrade. The issue is with the tach and 8920 adapter upgrade. Firewall slot # 20 has a grey wire on the inside and white wire outside of the firewall. I am assuming it is the tach trigger which went to the...

    Dual valve springs during break in asked 1k times

    This is a question probably asked a thousand times but I don't see any threads on the site here so I have to ask weather I should pull the inner like requested by the manufacturer. The springs are shimmed within .010 of recommended install height. Cam/ lifters and springs are a PKG from lunati...

    Speed master heads and valve spring issues

    I bought a set of speed master aluminum heads so I can run unleaded 93 and had them worked to assure everything was spot on. I also got a lunati voodoo 703 cam with lifters and springs. I was checking over the break in recommendation and they suggested to remove the inner springs but the machine...

    Correct type gas cap for vapor system.

    My challenger only has the filler neck vapor line but being a 71, I assumed it originally had the vapor saver system and was changed out because of the 2 lines going to the front. 1 was fuel supply and other was the vapor line so, I installed the 4 nipple fuel tank and vapor tube which detmatt...

    QA1 Star Stockers mounting issues. Another headache!

    Got these QA1 non adjustables as an upgrade for my challenger and of course, I can't just simply replace my old ones with these without scratching my head for a while so I have to ask if anyone has mounted these and how you may have solved this issue or any suggestions on what I can do. The...

    Filler neck??

    My 71 rt had a vent on it and wondering if all challengers were the same. Also my fuel sender was a single 5/16" when I pulled it. I ordered the same part and then I found 2 lines 5/16" going to the front. Can I eliminate the other one or do I need the sender with 2 lines. Thanks for the help!

    Vinyl top trim location?

    It's been 2 yrs since I stripped my challenger and finally assembling it. These were in a bag marked vinyl top and I assume they go on the lower front pillar but can't seem to figure it out. Any location or a pic would really help me out.

    Aligning doors, fenders, hood gaps.

    20 months ago my 71 Challenger rt went to the body shop to return to it's original color and all panels were removed to jamb it. I am looking for tips on hanging everything again and will probably just have to fight with it until it's back to tolerable but everybody has ways of doing this and I...

    Google pop ups while roaming the threads?

    I keep getting a Google pop up and saying I won some kinda crap. It interrupts the page and I have to click back to get it to go away. This becoming stupidly annoying. Any reason why this is happening on this site? Thx

    Decal question 71 RT .

    My 71 rt was black from the factory with the chartreuse stripe kit and I am wondering if it would have had the rt decal on the hood in that color as well as the louvers on the front part of the quarter panels. I don't have the build sheet. The fender tag only. I am wondering if they were an...

    Fuel options for valve seats.

    Been a while since I posted on the site and my 71 black v6j rt Challenger is still going thru restoration and very close to being back in black. Slight pitting around the rear window caused the vinyl top to be removed but it gotta be done right. Car was amazing bare except for that. Pure solid...

    Door mirror question.

    I don't know all the specs on the door mirrors but it looks like the 70 mirrors are a little smaller than the 71 up. Im looking at the chrome bullet pair for my 71 challenger and cannot find a pair anywhere but year one and they want 3x more than any other company. I have some ordered at jegs...

    WTB Out of stock in USA

    I've been looking for somewhere to purchase some chrome bullet mirrors for my 71 challenger. I had already ordered some from jegs a while back and they can't say when they will be available. I have checked with every dealer that I know and nobody has them. Being a resto, I wanted new ones since...
