Looks like you are looking at the stuff offered by Real Time Engineering. I repaired my tach with one of their kits about 20 years ago. I don't see a phone number on their website, but there are some email addresses listed. RTE About - rte

I'll add that as a guy that has only owned Plymouths from this time frame, I've always been a bit jealous of all the cool tail stripe options that Dodge had back then.

Agreed, that's where I would start. Make sure it is good and hot since you said it only happens after you have been driving for a while. Resistance in electrical circuits increases with heat, so you may have a connection on the hairy edge just on the verge of making/breaking contact.

Yes, surprisingly enough, even many of the Trans Am cars, at least the AAR Cudas, came from the factory with column shift automatics. I would guess that the TA Challengers would be the same, although I don't recall ever seeing a TA with a column shift auto.

Does it actually just stall while you are in a steady cruise situation, or is it more like when you let off the gas and the rpms drop, like when coasting to a stop? Does it happen when the car is fully warmed up, like after 10 minutes of running, or only during the transition period when the...

With the wire off of the sending unit, you should be completely disconnecting the circuit, but apparently there is still enough current flow to make the gauge to register over half full. Maybe a weak short to ground in the wiring between the gauge and sending unit terminal? Are you running a...

With the key off, does the gauge drop to empty or does it stay at just over half?

Yeah, I gotta admit that I get a weird sense of satisfaction out of cleaning up old crusty fasteners and then threading them back in by hand. I sometimes think that my Lang thread restorer set might be the most used set of tools in my garage. Lots of memories of wrenching with my dad when he...

"I chased all the threads so everything could be hand tightened." It's reassuring to know that there are others out there with this OCD tendency...

No, it was originally GK6, Autumn Bronze Metallic.

I used to own it's Plymouth cousin...

I was curious about the potential differences, so bought AMD and OER bumpers for my Cuda this summer. Based on the numbers stamped on the back, it appears to me that they are produced by the same manufacturer, although the back side of the AMD bumpers had a different finish. The AMD bumpers...

:thumbsup: Very nice!! Would be cool to see some pics of it from back in your high school days.
