1973 Challenger
« on: December 21, 2006 - 06:24:01 AM »
Man am I tickled.  I got home yesterday and find my Challenger jacked up in the air.  A friend is underneath the car putting the freeze plugs in, has put the fan on, and gotten the bumper bolted back up (I still need 3 bolts for the bracket to body connection).

He is supposed to come back today.  I will need an oil change to bled the breaks, and to find out why I can not get fuel from the tank to the pump.

I would like to pull the tank, clean it, replace the parts of whole sending unit, and crank her up.

I just might get her running before Christmas!
