Charger Discussion / Heater blower
Last post by tucknroll - November 01, 2025, 10:38:11 AMHey 69 charger here. My fan blows good heat but not hard enough. Do the blower motors get weaker and maybe a new one will blow harder? Thanks

Last post by Kern Dog - October 31, 2025, 08:17:35 AMIf you ask a question of people that actually want to help you, they will need more information to better help you.
Any idiot can just spit out a suggestion but what good is it if their advice sucks?
Do you tell your doctor that "I don't feel good" and then expect him/her to come up with some remedy without knowing more?
Camshafts are responsible for a LOT in regards to how the engine will perform so just stabbing in anything that will fit is a real gamble.
Sometimes you don't know how complicated an answer can be until others tell you.
The suggestion to call Hughes Engines is not necessarily a bad one but Dave Hughes can be pretty curt and to the point. He is not an overly friendly guy. He isn't one to chit chat, he is usually ALL business and you'd do well to have all the answers that have been asked HERE ready to go when speaking to him. He knows his stuff but is not going to hold your hand.
Stepping back a bit...
If you were to have stated that you were interested in a camshaft a few steps up from stock but still streetable for the 3.23 gearing and power brakes, that would have helped others steer you in the right direction.

Last post by tcs69rt - October 31, 2025, 08:07:16 AMI guess I don't know how to ask/write a cam question properly? I didn't know there was a requirement of certain info by some of you. All stock = meant the brakes all around. The rear is a 3.23. And as far as the advice offered by b5blue ...I will take it. Thanks for the help!

Hard to argue with these results.If your engine is similar to this the xe274 is impressive. If your engine is closer to stock the xe268 may be a better fit. Either would have no problems with power brakes.
More details on your exact setup will help.
These are proven examples by a very accomplished engine builder and member here.

Charger Discussion / Re: Getting comfortable in the...
Last post by roger440 - October 30, 2025, 05:54:15 PMJust resurrecting this post having done almost nothing to the car since. Life and all that stuff getting in the way.
Back to steering wheels though. Since i last posted i see PG classics do a repro of the later tuff wheel.
As this is much flatter than whats fittid to my 69, it would move the wheel further from me.
But im unclear how i would fit this? On the later cars i understand it had a big spacer, but clearly i dont want that.
Can anyone explain what i need to do, assuming its possible at all of course?
