Wheels, Tires, Brakes, Suspension & Steering / Re: Master Cylinder 2229171
Last post by 71GranCoupe - Today at 12:44:52 PMI really appreciate all the response about the date and date codes. After a message from a member about date codes on the fender tag, it was then that I looked at the door tag and the car did have a delayed delivery date for the following month. With being a new model year and since the car came with many options, it was more than likely the line was waiting for parts to finish it. I attached a picture of the door tag showing it was not finished/shipped until 9-1969. With this in mind, the dated master cylinder could possibly be within the time frame of being correct. At least it is close.

Your Restoration project (ROSEVILLE MOPARTS) / Re: 72 Challenger Is Back
Last post by 71vert340 - Today at 12:34:41 PMStarted work on the dash harness. I had to replace the engine side of the bulkhead connection box. It took about 45 minutes for me to change all the wires over. I cleaned each one and checked for corrosion. I have installed the black and red wires to do the alternator bypass and will not run it through the bulkhead connection box. For now, I connected both ammeter wires together on one ammeter post and will be installing a voltmeter gauge in the blank spot on the standard instrument cluster. The plastic on the connection box had too much damage for me to reuse. I'm checking all wires with a multimeter(ohms). I'm checking all bulb sockets for corrosion. I was surprised this harness is not all hacked up like most of the originals are. I only found one plug missing and it went to the parking brake pedal. I replaced it. A few photos to show.

Last post by headejm - Today at 10:56:17 AMPrime example of why you should always do the core/radiator support blackout on a repaint. Really bothers me to see the body color showing through the grille.

I didn't follow anyone else's method, I just did it the way I did it... several hours doing this way...
I masked the Argent and painted the Black first. Then I masked the Black and painted the Argent.
Happy with how it turned out and has lasted since May of 2014 when I did it.

Engine, Transmission & Rear End / Re: 8HP70 -> 8HP90 on my '70 C...
Last post by cudaragtop - Today at 09:13:37 AMThe 90 is physically larger than the 70.
I haven't seen a direct side by side comparison of dimensions but the 90 is slightly larger and longer with different rear mounting hole locations. Will require a different driveline than the 70 or modification.
Link to a 70 to 90 swap. Not an E-Body but some useful info.
