Fired up my challenger this morning to go for a a drive. Drove approximately 8 miles all the gauges worked fine.
Ill clean all my grounds just because that's the easiest thing to do
Thanks for all your input
I did not notice tach acting up
13 years ago when I put the gauge cluster in I replaced the the do hicky behind the gauges
That was lots better than the original Chrysler stuff.
So its a voltage regulator. Btw I'm real weak with the ins and outs of auto electronics.
I guess I would have to pull...
I have a 1971 challenger
Rally dash cluster
All gauges work since I restored car in 2011
Yesterday went to car show 14 miles from my home
Early in drive I noticed all the engine function gauges were going back

I remember handing him the lock he knew exactly it was a Chrysler lock he did his magic in under a minute said I didn't owe him anything I spotted him a Lincoln I put it back in the door no problems course this was about 13 years ago
Years ago when I was restoring my challenger I had a lock smith make it where it works without a key
I figured there never was any thing I was gonna put in there that needed locking
My package tray and interior panels are repo. When I found the car previous owner had glued shag carpet onto tray and had put bulbous Kraco speakers on top. The plastic panels were originally blue he painted them white with a brush. Mine line up good enough probably better than the slip shod way...
Are you talking about the little dip in the trim needs to line up with the package tray/plastic interior panel junction? I went out to my 71 challenger in the garage my package tray is under the panel and the dip is closer to the junction. I think if your plastic panel is pushed closer to the...
Boy I'm way off in left field..the old hot rodder machine shop who built my moderately built 440 years ago recommended Rotella 15-40 heavy duty diesel oil with 8 oz of zddp. I change the oil once a year usually with about 500 miles of so. Oil is barely discolored. And always a wix filter.
The guy I bought my challenger from 14 years ago have me a whole van full of mopar parts. In the early eighties when he acquired the car he said he would go to a local you pick-a-part junkyard and get all kinds of various parts off challengers. They sure came in handy when I restored my car...
I have a challenger with the similar tips mine are barely outside the valence. I wish my exhaust shop had stuck them out around a inch after a few years of driving the chrome gets a little discolored from the hot exhaust. It will come off with chrome cleaner. A couple of years of driving for me...
Over 10 years ago Southern bumper exchange in Atlanta rechromed my two bumpers for $350.00 each. The rear one was bent ..same price they still look great.
I installed a griffin radiator on my 71 challenger a few years ago. Bolted up to factory holes no Mickey mouse fits all brackets factory shroud fits perfectly. American made.
Was at a early morning caffine & octane after I parked my 71 440 4 speed challenger a young lady was looking over my car and asked what it was I replied it was the original challenger made by Dodge she replied in all seriousness " I didn't know there was a original challenger"!
When my mechanic installed my new 440 in my challenger he had to install a MSD tach adapter. I have a rally dash and a MSD distributor and a 6A ignition box.
