Any help and ideas would be much appreciated.

many thanks guys.

I think the factory service manual covers the hemi wiring, my 69 FSM does

Don't get a paper-manual, if you work on your car at all and use the book as a reference you'll destroy it within weeks.  Use a CD instead, print up your relevant pages and then get to work:

hi guys thanks for replies,  does that cd cover the 426 hemi engines as well?
i cant seem to see if it does anywhere on the adds just wondered if you knew?

many thanks again

Yes it does cover the Hemi.  The factory shop manual is an indispensable tool.

I like paper! I buy all my manuals from Bishko.

I have paper and digital and find great use for both versions depending on circumstances.

Hemi wiring ?  There can't be much, if any difference in the wiring. I mean come on man. 

[Ghoste]

No, but even if there were a single difference wouldn't you want to know about it?

[Troy]

Hemi wiring ?  There can't be much, if any difference in the wiring. I mean come on man. 

There is. Although some of the differences won't be visible/noted in the manual.

Lol.  I heard the Hemi cars had extra-special air put in their tires at the factory, too...

[Ghoste]

It don't know that the big deal here was the engine size, I think his main concern was a wiring diagram and he was providing all the information so no one would rag about being more specific.
A good call in my eyes.

[ACUDANUT]

Ummm, What ?

[Ghoste]

It was a good call to be specific and say he wanted a wiring diagram for a 1970 Charger 426 instead of just saying something like "can anyone give me a diagram?".
Thats what. 

[1974dodgecharger]

Myk, great pic of the car man.....

[Ghoste]

Oh!!  I totally missed that, yeah what he said Myk.

[maxwellwedge]

There is one or two specific Hemi wiring diagrams in the FSM....mainly due to the extra v/cover harness and positive battery cable wires. These are spelled out in the FSM.

[Ghoste]

Right, any of the engine compartment diagrams say "w Hemi" or "wo Hemi", do they not?  Now if a Coronet with Hemi is the same wiring as a Charger with Hemi, I have no idea but as Maxwell says they each get a diagram.

Photos  please ,  we love 70's especially hemi ones

I hate 70s with Hemi he better not post a pic......

[Ghoste]

We'll tell you when to close your eyes. 

[chrisbinks]

Haha ill get some pics on as soon as i find one to use.

[Ghoste]

We like them in any condition or quality.  Go ahead, try us.

[1974dodgecharger]

U better not  I hate pics......

[Ghoste]

Chris?

[chrisbinks]

I havnt found a car to use yet. I did have one but then the seller decided not to sell so im back looking for one.

[Ghoste]

Oh I understand now.  I took it to mean that you were looking for a suitable photo to use and that you already had the car.

[ACUDANUT]

So you don't have a Charger , but you are worried about a wiring diagram ? 

[JB400]

Actually, pretty smart in my book.  If the car he was looking at had wiring issues, he could figure up the cost of fixing it to negotiate a better price. 

[ACUDANUT]

If I could afford a real Hemi Charger, I would think I would be able to spend a few hundred bucks for someone to fix it.  

[JB400]

True, but would you rather the money come out of the current owner's pocket or yours after you buy the car for his asking price?

[Cooter]

Maybe some just like talking bout what they are thinking bout buying as a roach with serious wiring problems?

[Ghoste]

Or maybe someone found a car they were interested and had the crazy crazy notion of trying to educate themselves a bit first.  So they bravely came on the site and asked about where to find the information.
I know it runs counter to the guy who buys the car and comes on going `HELP!  I`ve torn it apart and now I don`t where everything goes much less what it is". 
It does suck in a way because then it denies us the opportunity to chastise some poor guy because he just jumped in without trying to learn about the car first.

[1974dodgecharger]

or, maybe he found a car, found no wiring issues, but wanted wiring issues, to fix the wires, owner did not let him see the wires, but car only, but he said he wanted to buy wires for the owner, but owner wont let fix wires if wires are bad, but he insists now owner buy the wires so he can fix the wiring issues even with no wiring issues invovled at all?

If he can afford a hemi then obviously money is not a major issue I dont care who you are if your worried about 200 dollars vs a HEMI thats what 17k and then you need to buy the parts for install of it and misc stuff extra 3k or so and your worried about 200 bucks new wiring kit?

[chrisbinks]

No its not that im out to just have chat about chargers. I did have one which had nothing no engine. No gear box or wiring. That was my main concern making sure i could get hold of the wiring diagram.
Iv been researching about this car since a kid.
An believe me i aint on here to waste anyones time. As soon as i find one ill put photos up not a problem.

[Ghoste]

It was a fair question and you don't owe any of us an explanation.  But you can come around just to chat about Chargers. 

[chrisbinks]

Like i say i dont have a car as yet. An im not one to jump into somthing without knowing what im doing.  My last project was a crayford savage i helped my uncle build. Im 23 now and  i want my own project. This is the car iv planned and im determind to do it.  I dont carehow nackerd the car looks im doing it.

[Ghoste]

Nackerd?  You're from the UK aren't you?

[chrisbinks]

I am. Hence why its so hard for me to get a car and the information i need whilst building it. Not many people are interested in stuff like this. Most people take the mick out of me for wanting an old car. Their all interested in ferraris and astons as you can imagine. .
But if it mean importing it from america  i will.

[ACUDANUT]

 Good on you mate for wanting a real car.  A hemi is going to cost you an arm and both legs. There is nothing wrong with a Charger with a 318. 
Get the Charger while your young and not married.

[chrisbinks]

Yeah i get having a 318 engine but theres something about the hemi that does it for me haha
Not only that i love a challenge. And a thrill

[Ghoste]

Gotta run down your dreams.
