New to the Mopar World

[Fox Slaughter]

Hey my name is TJ.

I just picked up a 1974 Challenger with a 340 4 barrel.
This is my first Mopar as my other 3 cars are Chevys haha.

So I figured I would introduce myself.



Its not a show car but I can't afford a show car so.

Welcome to the site TJ from mid Michigan! You'll have a great time here. And nice ride you have there.

 

[Fox Slaughter]

Thats I'm from South East Michigan. Just north of a Detroit.

My radiator is leaking so I went and got a radiator but it turns out they put a 26" in and the parts store can only get 22". My neighbor builds custom cars so he told me to check out Superior radiator and they can probably build a custom aluminum one for like 400. So thats first on the list.

 

[moparlee]

That 26" radiator is a great high capacity radiator. Are you sure it can't be cleaned and repaired.

 

[Fox Slaughter]

I never even thought about having it repaired. Hm. Maybe I'll try that. It only leaks when its hot. I notice the lower radiator hose connection the pipe is bent in on the bottom side and then up by the cap there must be like a hairline crack as it bubbles through ever so slightly when its hot.

 

[Fox Slaughter]

Does anyone know where the fuse block is located? Rofl.

 

[RUNCHARGER]

Right above the gas pedal.

Right above the gas pedal.

Yeah I ended up finding it.

The fuse in position 5 is blown which might explain why my gauge lighting doesn't work.
