Questions about my 70 Cuda...

That is a standard part. Some call it an Oil Pressure sending unit. The rockauto web site has it and calls it an Oil Pressure Switch (with gauge).

Standard Motor Products part #PS59

Here it is. I'm surprised it's so cheap.

Houston - we have a problem..


I had a leaky Master Cylinder without brake-booster, which sucked..

I ended up buying the Wilwood Front Disc brake kit and a Cardone Power Brake Booster 54-73701 plus a new Master cylinder because the old was abit leaky..

Anyway - the CARDONE Brake booster is a problem because the rod that connects to the pedal is like 5 cm too short..?
Anyone had this problem or know the solution to this?


Sorry bout this.. there's prob gonna be a sh*tload of n00b questions coming from me now, till August 15th ..

I assume you have the extended linkage from your old booster ? It is a cantelever system for lack of better terminology

No. I didnt have a Booster before... Only Master Cylinder, and the pushrod for that goes from the BOLT on the pedal and directly into the Master cylinder..
The old master cylinder rod is about 6" long, and the rod coming out of the booster is about 4"...

Do you know where I can get this cantelever linkage? Does it build about 2" ?


EDIT: - Is this what I need? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DISC-BRAKE-PEDAL-LINKAGE-71-CUDA-CHALLENGER-CHARGER-GTX-/120728381202

EDIT AGAIN: - Nevermind, I found it here : http://www.brewersperformance.com/products.asp?cat=279

Fuel pump installation failure...

I removed the original fuel pump, opened it and the membrane was shot.. Bought a new one. Tried to install it, and it broke off on one side where the screw goes. Noticed there is a screw a couple of millimeter below where the pump goes, and a rod coming from it, going in up towards the shaft.. there is a tear mark on it now and I think maybe I caused that when I now tried to install the new one.. with the pump arm connecting with that rod where the mark is and maybe thats why the pump broke...? Cant find anything about how to install the pump in the service manual.


Anyone got a clue as to what I'm doing wrong?


This is the new one I broke - http://gb.ioffer.com/i/fuel-pump-chrysler-dodge-plymouth-440-440hp-1970-1971-177961889

Need help with the engines carb setup on a 440-6.

Can anyone here tell me where the three vacuum hoses on the carbs are supposed to end up?
They are all stuck together with T's but end up with a lose hose that I suppose should go somewhere.
Intake? Where the brake booster is supposed to go? Service manual is no help as it's all black pictures and I cant find anything in writing bout it either.

Any pictures that shows a correct setup of a 440-6 would be extremely helpful, as I have doubts about a few other things on it...

I see some setups have a hose from the valve cover breather connected to the middle carb, where my middle carb has a hose with a plug in it...
