Hi guys, I just brought home my first Mopar Musclecar in over 20 years.
Many years ago I had a really nice 340 Duster and I've had other brands including 2 GTO's, a 442, and a few Chevelles. So I'm no stranger to cars.
That being said I've always liked the Mopars but prices were so squirrely over the years that I was always out of the market.
OK so yesterday I brought home a 73 Challenger. Its been re-done but has been sitting for a few years due to the previous owners battle with cancer. He lost the battle and I bought the car from his son who is a Harley guy and not into cars.
The original 340 is long gone having been replaced with a 440 6 pack. Since the car sat for the better part of 4-5 years the carbs run pretty poorly. The center carb weeps fuel and the rear carb must have a stuck float because it seems to be just dumping fuel.
I'm pretty good mechanically but have ZERO experience with multiple carb cars. My plan is to have all 3 carbs rebuilt and have the car tuned properly.
I live in Doylestown PA which is about an hour north of Philly.
Can anyone recommend a good Mopar experienced guy in this general area??
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
