Thanks. I'll check that out. Of course, I could ask my son to look at his. 😁 (If I can catch him in the shop)

Several years ago, I bought a tool for my son and can't remember what it's called to buy one for myself. I know someone here knows. The tool reminds me of a miniature chainsaw bar. A ratchet attaches to one end and a socket attaches to the other. It allows the socket to reach up into a tight...

It popped of for me while I was fumbling with cable routing and checking under-hood locations and trial fitting. While it probably would not come off once installed permanently, I could never get to it if for some reason it did once the big 2" tube leaders were installed. I'm a retired engineer...

AFTERTHOUGTH: If I were to make this again, I would have used a 1/4-20 nutsert instead of tacking a nut to it. That would look more professional.

As my progress slowly continues on the "second resurrection" of my '70 Challenger R/T, the next item on my list was the installation of the Bouchillon Torqueflite Cable Kit. I must admit, I'm impressed with the quality and engineering of the kit. I don't mind paying a premium for quality...

Somewhere I saw spray paint that is used to touchup yellow chromate plated parts. I've tried a few standard colors like "Rubbed Bronze" and "Antique Brass" but it just doesn't look right. If you know what I'm looking for, do you have a source? TIA MODERATOR: YOU CAN DELETE UPDATE: I found it...

Oh good. Thank you.

After months of work, I don't remember the correct orientation of the plug for the Reverse Switch on my Torqueflite. It can be attached either way. Does it attach as shown in the picture or rotated 180 degrees? As a Manufacturing Engineer for 25 years, I always tried to get the Design Engineers...

Well, it's a struggle. The driver side has been impossible to get in place so far. After the first try, it was clear the steering shaft would have to be removed from the steering box and moved to the side. Try two - still can't get it all the way up and into position. It stops at the steering...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it's the factory PS box rebuilt and updated by Steer and Gear. Been "hot rodding" since the 1960s 😁 but never too old to learn.

The next step in my '70 Challenger 440 assembly is the TTI headers. It has a new Super Streetfighter Torqueflite and power steering. Is this a job I can do myself, or do I need an assistant? I'd rather not bother by neighbor if I can do it myself. What about the starter... easier without it...

I could have made some spacers for a cleaner look, but I need to move on.

Part of the resurrection of my '70 Challenger is the installation of the new Super Streetfighter Torqueflite. I spent a little extra time securing the lines to prevent them from touching. I ordered some mounting clamps for 5/16" brake line. Then I made up a couple threaded "studs" by cutting off...

It's definitely a 45.

OK... I ordered the lines.

I've still got an original fitting on the bottom of the radiator. I'll double check it tomorrow to see if it us a 45. I made an assumption (yes, I know) that automotive fittings were 37°. Thanks.

I'm not sure if I need to do some rerouting until I get the new TTI headers installed.

I'm installing a TCI 727 in my '70 Challenger 440. The cooling line ports come plugged from TCI and I need to make new cooling lines. I know automotive flare fittings are usually 37 degree flares. I have a couple of 45 degree flaring tools and need to buy the fittings for the 727 anyway. Has...

Amazon just arrived and delivered the CORRECT hose! THANK YOU AGAIN.

I ordered one today on Amazon, it will,be here tomorrow.
