I hope I'm not being "Captain Obvious" here, But If you've never driven a car with a carburetor, A little driver input is needed, Before you turn the key you need to push the accelerator all the way to the floor one time, this will set the choke & the fast idle cam, after it's run 8 or so seconds, give the throttle a little tap, & this will step the fast idle down & the choke will slowly start to open. (assuming everything is working right) And you will be on your way.

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.

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...
