My good friend and his Dad have been Mopar fanatics forever and have had a great influence on me. His Dad has always bought Chrysler products. This 68 Charger is his and I can remember driving in it in high school. He bought it in 1969, Tor red paint, 383 h.p. 4 speed, red interior. His son fixed the rear quarters and painted the patches so his Dad can drive it and get some enjoyment having it on the road again as he was always going to "fix it up some day."

Short walk a round video after driving it around today. I had just flushed the cooling system to rid the motor of left over debris and rust eminating from the block coolant passages. She runs cool enough for a mid day Yuma summer so she will be downright chilly come winter.

Put a short insulator under the carb and space it up a hair off the intake . If it is boiling fuel that will help. Also get heat out from under the hood

Even while being babied this summer my block showed a hairline crack that is now weeping coolant in the garage. I'll have to pull everything and assemble on a different short block - that's what I get for trying to do it on a "running" bottom end. Maybe when I do it the second time I'll get lucky? |

Thanks for the replies! Not much going on except driving it and having fun. I did swap the speedo pinion out so the speedometer reads correctly. Here is the 35 tooth and 30 tooth. I ended up on a 27 tooth which is pretty close.
Attached File And I dropped my tank to adjust the float. It now reads full when full. It is not correctly graduated as it has 10 gallons at 1/4 tank but empty is right below the E line. Attached File And I found a used radio that needed a few tweaks to tune but it is working now. And I wired these two speakers in series to get 8 ohms. Sounds decent for Walmart speakers.

OP, your car looks and SOUNDS awesome! Well done.
Can I play too? Just bought early September 2017. Had a '72 Cuda 340 4spd that in a moment of foolishness sold in 2012...althought I did double my money literally in 10 years. Been pining for another Mopar car ever since. Found this one close by and bought. Originally a dark green. Previous owner says he bought at Mopar Nats 2015 and drove back to Michigan. Looks completely clean underneath. Ran good, but replaced clutch and carb and now runs like a new car. Not a powerhouse by any measure. But its smooth and fun.
