those cars could take it, i drove a 72 roadrunner 383 with a blown head gasket and overheating from Virginia to Tennessee and it made it with out quitting.

Hey that's pretty cool to help people out like that good job guys

Good to see the charger running and driving good.great work.everone.

Considering it's age someone went to the junkyard and found some '73-'74 taillights and maybe that Rallye hood. It is a big block engine. It probably overheats once it gets out of the driveway and takes longer to get to work. Don't forget Rock Auto is sponsoring the segment. No problem drilling hole in t'stat. Finding parts for body of '72 is harder than the more plentiful '73-'74 models. A lot will interchange. Let's don't nitpick a daily driver.

I used to own this car! I am glad its seeing the road again!

Rockauto, rockauto, rockauto, and more rockauto. I think we get it that you can get parts from rockauto. I just don't get how all of these people buy all of these vehicles and don't have any clue to change parts. Especially when it is a classic car that parts are easy to change.

Just curious, are you planning on trying to get him a proper front and rear bumper plus grilles and taillights ?. Would look a tad nicer with the 72 set up.

1972 had 3 different styles of grilles and tail lights depending on the model and production month. Front had the hideaway, the grille with a silver loop, to the black out loop and black out and typical 73' style grille. Same with the tail lights. They varied from the solid, to the angled, to the 73' versions some blacked out and some not. My guess this was a late production model.

Can't believe you were right there an didn't do the timing chain set ??? Now when it goes out and usually soon. It all comes back off agin and will cost him an arm an a leg to have done !!! And what 6,8 more bolts an future problem solved !!!!! Some people just have to learn the hard way !!!

I agree that timing chains are wear items - but it’s certainly more involved than “6-8 more bolts”. You have to drop the front of the oil pan, the front crossmember, and pull the crankshaft dampener.
