Got Dads challenger fired up last night... WITH VIDEO!
« on: August 04, 2005 - 02:37:21 PM »
 :beer:

It was primed, timed, and started right up! wow, 2 cranks and away we went to 2500 rpm, for 15 minutes... it was pretty smooth... sounded good - for the first time in months she rolled on her own power... no shocks yet, and the brakes gotta be bled again , but it sure is nice to see daddy-o drive that sucker around!

the cam is alot bigger then the old one but dont sound it... it actually idles nice and smooth...

no leaks except for the master cyl cap and that was fixed...

just gotta install the msd and break the clutch in for 500 miles... and away we go!!


here are a couple vids for ya... nothing earth shakin... but she's runnin..

thanks... usually  :worthless: but i figured the vids make up for it.. i didnt have time or clean hands for the camera... my buddies came over after we broke the cam in and took the vids for me.. oof and the one vid with us all piling inthe car is joe, tom, and me getting in... i'm riding shotgun!

He took it around the block and then I did - with a  new centerforce clutc, rebuilt tranny, and feshehened pistol grip it shifts like a new car!!! WOW!
