My first Charger project ***Video***

[drifter69]

You really have a nice car there man, this whole thread has inspired me to put some more time in on my car. Thanks man!!!!

[six-tee-nine]

We really need to talk some stuff tru Per,


I see a large pile of parts on that car that I will be needing in the future but having no idea where to get them so I'll be asking you soon enough to write down all of them vendors for me.....(saves me the searchwork).

By the way, I know how to pump a pedal too so let me know if you want me to come over......
By the way, I saw you met CB and agreed on him holding the camera.......Forget about that. He wont make it since he promised to let me roast his tires after I helped fixing his front end. And I intend to do a good job on that roasting part....

[Belgium R/T -68]

Koen, you don't need to pump the pedal because I solved the problem with the air. Bought a compressordriven vacuumpump
and the air went out like nothing. If the new brakesystem will brake, that's something else.
Anyway, I have work enough for you if you want to come over.
Magic day today when I connected the battery for the first time, always a little bit scary if you got some shortcuts but it went very good.
I do find that my batterycable is a little bit short though, have to put it under the mastercylinder. Is that factory or did I get the wrong cable?
Ofcourse I couldn't resist taking a picture of the taillights burning for the first time.

Tomorrow is the big day. Charged the battery, checked for spark, fuel and oilpressure and it looks good so we should
hopefully have a sucessful start-up tomorrow. CB is holding the camera so you could expect a Youtube link afterwards.

Cool!!

Yep, i wouldnt trust CB with anything but a camera 

[b5blue]

  This is going to be good!

[Charger440RDN]

Can't wait to see it finished 

[R2]

good luck,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Belgium R/T -68]

It's finally done After adjusting the timing a little bit it fired up immediatly. Only real incident was that the servopump
started to leak so much that I had to take the belt off, these chromepumps maybe isn't to reliable? Oilpressure was good,
started up at 80 psi and was showing 60 at the end. Watertemp went up to 220F before the thermostat opened but after that it was steady
on 185F. No leaks what so ever except the servo.
Thanks a lot for moral and other support from CB, Jeroen and Lukas. Here is the result of the film by CB, I took the longest.

Good work Per !  This was a long time coming,  good preperation and pre-start routine makes for a sucessful fire-up and break in.  That engine sounds healthy
