Charger Discussion / Re: Booster help

Isn't that a Bendix single diaphragm unit? Do you have power drums or disc?

My 69 had one of those when I got it too and I have power drums but it's likely a replacement unit. IIRC the Midland-Ross unit was on power drum cars. I'm pretty sure 68s had the MR unit too.

Old brain is telling me that the Bendix in OP could be found on the 69s but that's probably wrong.

I am a bit stubborn....(Big surprise, huh ?) I just can't get myself to bring this car to a shop except for an alignment! I built the car, I'll be the one fixing it. (With a little help of course)
I have a buddy a couple towns over. I'll make a trip out to see him and report back when we get it figured out.

Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Re: Changing pinion seal 8 3/4

Last post by W4ATL - May 11, 2024, 04:09:02 PM

The instructions above were very helpful. My biggest issue was getting the pinion nut off. I spent two 2 days trying to get that sucker loose. I soaked it in WD-40, tried an impact wrench and a jack on the wrench and it just wouldn't budge.  Finally applied some heat, then used a jack with my wrench to finally get it to "crack". Still couldn't budge it by hand and I thought I broke something internal. I was about ready to put the driveshaft back on and take it somewhere that could lift it in the air and diagnose it when I thought to try the impact wrench one more time. Imaging my surprise when it started to come off! The rest of the job to remove the seal and install the new one only took 30 minutes. Drives like a champ and no leaks.

Charger Discussion / Re: Too valuable to drive?

Last post by Kern Dog - May 11, 2024, 02:13:02 PM

I have driven and enjoyed my Charger MORE since I converted it from a 727 to the Tremec 5 speed manual.
It isn't because the car is faster. I'm not Ronnie Sox...I can't shift fast like the heroes could. I'm decent but not expertly skilled with a manual transmission.
It is because the car is more fun now. The freeway cruising at lower rpms really do "civilize" a car. I like shifting the gears. Some like to say that they feel more connected to their car...may that is part of it.

That is great.
If you have the money to go through everything on the car, that does help. I know that I've spent some money on stuff and also reused some old stuff too. I don't have an unlimited amount of money so some things are still original. I haven't replaced wiper bushings or pivot seals in my car and they are original. They keep working.
