I have a 2 Post lift in my hangar. Where do you all place the lift arms to lift your E Body Challenger? I sure don't want to bend anything. Photos would be great.
Thanks
Update on this issue. We found that one of the fan relays was intermittent. Both would work on the first start up but if you shut it down and cranked it back up, the bottom fan would not work. We replaced the relay and wired both fans to come on at the same time instead of different...
You are correct. I finally found it. It was mounted under the drivers seat and I just did not see it. I found it accidentily by putting my hand under the seat looking for something else.
Update on the heating problem. My friend, who owns a bare bones 73 Challenger with a 360 came to spend a couple of days to help me rebuild a barn wall that suffered wind damage. We got it done in one afternoon. The next day we spent trying to eliminate one variable on my 70. We manually...
Along with the two previous observations, I can see where the first owner looped the heater hose back into each other since there is no heater core. Could this also be a problem. I have a friend with a 360 in his 73 Challenger and he did the same thing. He is running an OEM radiator with a...
I measured my water pump pulley and it is a 6" (5" 13/16") pulley. Is this an underdrive pulley? I could not find specs on the March pulleys. I don't know if these are March pulleys.
I got a chance to do a little research after my ranch duties. I checked the timing and it is approximately 5* BTC, this is at idle 980 rpm and stays there at about 1800 rpm. I checked the Sniper monitor and it shows no timing at all. Is 12* on the end of the tab?
Everyone says check the timing. Before I address the fan problem, I am going to check the timing. Since this is a Sniper EFI, do I check the manual timing and adjust it if necessary before I go to the timing parameters in the software? Also, what should the manual timing be? The owners...
I have no clue on what the alternator rating is but I suspect it is only a 60 amp. I do notice that while working on the car and starting it and stopping it, the battery drops voltage and the engine gets harder to start. If it is fully charged, it starts pretty quick. Good info MCG
The smaller cooler is for the rack & pinion powersteering fluid. The line is right next to one of the header tubes. It can not be moved because of the rack & pinion placement. My thought is like you mentioned, move the smaller cooler.
I have not checked the engine timing yet. I did install a Mr. Gasket high flow 180* thermostat. Thermostat does open at it should and I can see good water flow through the radiator cap neck. I am suspecting that the bottom fan that cuts out when the top one kicks in is part of the problem...
I have gone through a lot of the posts on this site concerning heating issues with the 440 Magnum. Not many fit my situation. First of all, I bought this car from my friends widow. He bought it off of Ebay from the guy that restored it in Florida and had it shipped to Texas. I did not know...
The venting problem is solved using this method in the photo. Holley was slow to respond but they finally did. The lady at "Tanks Inc" told me that there should have been a Y barb fitting (like in the photo) included in the hardware package of the Sniper system. She said this was so the vent...
There is no way to install the vent valve backwards. It only goes one way. The other thought I had was to put a bend in the line like a P trap. Anyway, as soon as I get down to about a gallon of fuel in the tank, I am going to drop it and redo what the piss poor installers did.
Fuel was coming out of the vent tube just before the fuel pump handle cut off. The 70 Challenger has a vent tube on the side of the neck about 4-6 inches in, before the gas cap. Who ever installed the system, ran the vent line from the in tank fuel pump to the filler neck vent tube. Mopar Car...
It has been a busy few months with travel and other obligations. Finally getting to read the responses. Thank you Cuda for the perspective of owning a friends car and the memories it brings. We visited with his widow this afternoon at her ranch and had a great visit not to mention coffee and...
