info on 1974 dodge charger
hey guys just need to know about how to fix my charger, Im looking for online sites, or even a good book, I went to advance and all they have is a haynes manual for like 5 or 6 cars, and Im looking for info specific to my charger, Im wanting to do a restoration on it and also need to work out the small bugs on the carb and timing (it has a 360 in it), just any info will help, I tried posting in the dodge tech section, but I guess they consider Neons performance cars (After all is dodge's answer to the civic) so no one has helped there, but hopefully this will help me out, any info is greatly appreciated.

I bought a reproduction factory manual off e-bay. They run about $40+. Also get a Year One catalog and or a Paddock catalog, both have a lot of info in them along with parts. Also go to the newstand and get a Mopar Collectors Guide. Subscribers are allowed a free classified ad, so its loaded with parts for sale.
I mod the Dodge forum too and didn't see your post until this morning. If you got any questions about that sled, post it up. I'll do my best to answer.

I appreciate the replies, I think the carb need a little adjustment, and I will look on ebay, I noticed that they have owners manual reproductions, Im assuming that is what you are talking about dano, are those helpful?

well I got the timing done by a friend of mine just now, and I gotta swap the spark plugs before I can tell if the carb is acting up, I worked on imports before this, so I assumed it was the carb, but it might not be it at all, I will update when I swap the plugs tommorow, thanks guys

.035 on the plugs.
And yes the reproduction factory manual is what I got. An original would be better if you can find one. The illustrations in the repo ain't that good, but it gets the job done.
I think this is a factory original manual. Worth the $40
EDIT: NO ITS JUST THE BODY MANUAL, Won't have the drivetrain stuff in it.
