What have you done with your Charger lately?

[JamieZ]

Picked up a new master cylinder of eBay.  It is not quite the same style, as it is for a later B body/E body but it bench bled without any issue.  I mounted it to the car and bled the brakes without issue.  Glad that's out of the way.

Started on the alignment, but after a few minutes it became clear I had no idea what I was doing. 

I've been doing some reading and think I have a better idea of which way to turn what bolt.

great looking wheel alignment tool Jamie ,
where did you get it ? $ ? you state side or aussie ,
very good idea because getting very hard to find anyone to do a decent wheel alignment ,
another tip , assuming rear axle straight measurement front wheel to rear, four wheel alignment

[JamieZ]

It's a Quicktrick alignment tool (http://www.quicktrickalignment.com) runs a little under $300 here in the states.

Re-united the engine with the car. 6 hour drive on the back of the trailer

Got the right side torsion bar in, what a pain in the ass the new  boots are to get on. Will try & do left side on Monday if time allows.

[JamieZ]

Boots are easier to get on if you warm them up.  A few seconds in the microwave or putting them in boiling water for a bit will make them a lot more pliable and easy to install.

Also because of the synthetic make up , which is why there stiff, not rubber anymore,
Kerosene just on the area you want to soften , will eventually go hard again, but well after you have fitted them

Left side in, right side to go.

[69rtse4spd]

Good info, did heat them up a bit, still a bitch, but got the driver side on today.

i change my muffler for a second time shit.

[Ghoste]

Is that damage before or after removal?

[Lord Warlock]

looks like it was before as you could see the dents on the left side muffler while on the car.  Also has a u shaped dent on the rear edge.  Why are both mufflers bent on the outer edge on the rear? They hit a support structure?

[Charger-Bodie]

That's how those muffs were made back in the day. For clearance. Repops are made to be the same.

Mine don't have the kinked areas on the ends, as far as I can tell one of mine is still an original muffler, the other was an imperial muffler that matched size and style-in the 70s when I was driving it.  I blew one of mine round when I intentionally backfired the car with the key (accelerate, let off, turn key off, then back on....loud bang, one too many times and it looked like a thrush).  Never seen em like that before, but there is a lot i haven't seen before.
