Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger
Rear number plate mounting looked wrong to me withe the plate obscuring the number plate light. Turns out this bracket is only used on the 73-74 cars with impact bumpers, 70-72 cars don’t have it. The use of a license plate frame with only upper mounting bolts needed an adaptor plate making.

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger
I always weld in a Lambda bung into the exhaust so you can tune with an AFR meter.

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger
Sorry Dave not taking on any new work for the foreseeable, I’ve already committed to enough to keep me busy for the next year. A proper rewire (soldered not crimped) doesn’t half consume the hours.

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger
Fuel system boxed off, Carter HP mechanical pump with regulator and Teflon lined hoses. 75 vac sec carb for now until a suitable double pumper can be sourced.

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger
Bit of warning light action. Low oil pressure warning light, tucked out of the way but in line of sight, shift light disguised as a clock blanking plate, and a charge/ ignition light as the Denso alternator has provision for it.

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger
I had to shorten both the top and bottom hoses a touch but the fit is perfect now.

Re: favourite single-1st single
First single was the theme tune to the Persuaders by John Barry, cracking piece of music. Favourite single? Absolutely impossible to choose.

Re: 318 carb tuning
As carburettors go Edelbrock make an excellent doorstop. Sorry, that’s as constructive as I can manage on the subject.

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger
Correct pulleys and belt fitted, just need a suitable spacer for the fan and that’s sorted. Collector extensions made for increased low end torque.
