Not a Charger, but fired her up for the first time since 1995, In 95 I took my 70 challenger convertible apart for some fast winter fix ups well one thing led to another.  I got a 340 to replace the 318 and this morning she fired up.  I still need to adjust the lifters and I have a fuel leak at the bottom of the carb, and a oil leak from my oil pan.  I need to get those things fixed, then off to the body shop for some new paint.   :drool5: :boogie: :boogie:  I am doing the happy dance today!!

No I haven't seen Ken for months,  I have stopped by his house a few times but he is never home.  I think he is a little depressed since he sold his charger,  I think we are leaving july 22 for fargo.

glad to here it.  I am going to sand blast and paint ,y 383 manifolds for my charger I need to use the entire can, it says it,s only good for 6 months.  I will do yours and the Challenger, that should use the entire can and be at least a little something for your wait.
