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.

I ran 93 octane Amoco Super Unleaded gas in my 340 that was all stock in my 70 A66 Challenger back in the day. If 93 ran fine in it then, it will do the same now. I have a 360 in my 71 Challenger conv that has iron J heads and KB 107 pistons. It has 10.7 compression with the gaskets and chamber...

I agree. Get the billet retainer plate and a new seal, for good measure. Seal it up good and let the sealer cure a day before you fire it back up. Getting the upper seal in will be the hardest part, whether you leave the engine in the car or remove it. It is very do-able, just harder to do with...

The difference in the 68-71 pistons and the later 72-73 pistons is in the pin to crown height of the pistons. The early pistons have higher crowns and only 2 valve reliefs, where the later pistons have lower crowns and 4 valve reliefs. The rods were the same. I have taken a 340 forged crank and...

Rick Allison (A&A Transmission) had one of those cases at The Mopar Nationals 3 months ago. :thumbsup:

If you don't find an original one, Glen Ray Radiator has nice reproduction 974's. :thumbsup: https://www.restorationradiators.com/proddetail.php?prod=26RADSB

I'd sawzall or ziz wheel that sucker so fast it would make your head swim. I never have understood what the purpose of those things was.

I don't know if it was him or not, but there was a guy sitting along the back fence in the swap meet with exhaust pipes on display. I slowed down long enough to see if he had any pipes for an A66 Challenger, and he did not, so I kept on trucking. I didn't see a name or anything, but it was a man...

PM sent. :thumbsup:

That's true. Jobs as Meter Readers at power companies have been declining for decades. First, the power companies started contracting out meter reading when they still had the old meters with 4 or 5 dials. Then came meters that could be read by a contractor truck just driving by and receiving...

I put Ultra Black under the entire surface of the gasket, in between the rubber gaskets and the pan where they seal. I make sure to get plenty under the corners at the top of the U. Just try not to goop too much real close to the holes in the pan where the nubs on the gasket poke thru the pan...

If you have time to look around a bit, you can find factory spindles at a fairly reasonable price. You can even use spindles from F/M/J body cars. Aspen-Volare-Diplomat-5th Ave. The spindles from those cars are 3/8" taller than factory A & E 73-74 spindles, but that doesn't hurt a thing...
