I haven't done it recently, but I ran 15 x 8" Cragar SS mags and 275/60-15's on the back of my A66 70 Challenger. The only suspension change I made was adding air shocks because the car was a tail dragger. This was early 80's time frame. I only pumped the shocks up enough to level the car, and I...

It looks nice! :thumbsup: You should probably paint the front of the radiator support black, like the factory did. If you don't, it will stick out like a sore thumb when looking thru the grill. Not only that, you will have to listen to people telling you it should be black, until the end of...

Look up SK Machine in Danielsville, PA and see how close they are to you. Very good machine shop that does all brands, but are Mopar guys and Mopar specialists.

Are you building a low deck motor or an RB motor? Either one should clear with a Rallye hood, but a low deck motor will have more clearance.

Does anyone know where to buy the 9324 Suede Jewel Black interior paint besides the one guy who wants a war pension for a pint?

Who restored it? It looks nice. :thumbsup:

An original core is needed to supply to be recovered. Originals have a metal base that the foam is formed on. Repro's that are all new have plastic bases that the foam is formed on. Over time, those plastic bases warp and twist and end up looking like Fido's ass! Metal bases from an original pad...

Thanks Dan. Still gathering up things to do my numbers matching A66 that I've owned since 79. I guess I'd better hold off then, so good luck with the sale. :thumbsup:

Big block or small block?

Big block or small block?

Thanks. I doubt they took any sales records from 1970 with them...lol. Good luck with the sale. :thumbsup:

I had to VERY painstakingly remove the Village Dodge sticker from the inside of the decklid of my 70 A66 Challenger to use on a better trunklid during restoration! Is Village Dodge still in business in Painesville?

@SRKlegin Did you have to install longer lugs to run the Year One 17" Rallyes? I bought a new set with tires from an individual, instead of Year One, that I want to run on my 71 Challenger conv. i started to install them and the lugs didn't extend thru the wheel far enough to suit me, so I held...

Head gasket thickness certainly can affect the compression ratio. The thicker the gasket, the less compression distance you have. Cometic makes very good head gaskets in many thicknesses, so you should be able to find one that's suitable for your build. Work with your machinist too see what you...

That's the route I went. It cost $600 to get it done, but the total with buying the radiator and that was still way cheaper than buying the repro radiator.
