thanks hypermite, i will follow ur advice, and yea its the first car i have ever drivin with a carb. lol im still getting use to the fact that i acutally have to spend money on gas lol but i heard that if i thro an electric fan in there, that it should help with the has mileage. btw more pics coming soon, and some motor pics yay!
|
right on! Go 4-doors!!!! I do like the 68 body better than my 67 >.< A cool little mod you could do (if it applies to 68 I know it does with mine) is take a 67 charger grille with the hidden flip up headlights and swap it with the coronet grille. I think that would be sweet looking.
|
im thinkin im gonna pick up a grant steering wheel for the carrot, and one have any info the grant merchandise? also i feel that the steering wheel moves too much like its loose or sumthin. is that normal for these cars?
|
grant makes a cool tuff-wheel repro... do you have power steering? i know on the manual boxes there is some adjustment for the amount of play in the wheel. if the box is worn, i think checker can still get them. they have one for my dart...
if the steering and suspension is too much for you, there is a great shop in mesa... |
is your car power steering?
i heard that the mopar power steering was loose |
yeah my car does have power steering, its not too bad but i do have to be careful on the freeway and i look funny cuz im moving the wheel like ppl do on tv when they aint drivin loloolol. im going to pick up that steering wheel for a hundred this weekend
|
yeah but you're on the west side, they all drive like that without the loose steering as an excuse :D
|
hahahahahahaha maybe in sun city! where all the cars have "multi colored" bumpers
|
anything in the avenues, you're at your own risk...
|
Damn Honda's lol jk i picked up a free 81 hondamatic from my grandpa nice bike it cost me 16 dollars for a oil seal for my front brake the dang thing dont way more than a paper clip i will just spend my money on mopar at least mopar is worth somthing when you put a new part on

I never knew they made 4 door R/Ts. Unless of course, someone swapped grills, seeing that it has a Sb and not a BB.
Nice car! |

Sunroofs rule!:D Always a breeze at 120 miles per hour! 75 deg, sunny, and everything is GREEN!
|
lol yeah if i was up north i wouldnt car about the a/c but dammit! and i wear a tie to work so it sucks, right now im working on the alternator, i dont kno why but it doesnt sit right and they had to use a bunch of washers to make it stay. i replaced the belts but the alternator is sitting kinda weird and making the belt kinda sit crooked, so ima go home and brainstorm also does anyone recommend and brand of high output alternator, i wanna hook up a sound system
|
Yeah, I noticed that stack of nickles on the alt.:confused: If you up the alt output, be sure to size the wire for it.
