74 Charger

[Old Tired Rebel]

While I was out running errands, My wife seen a Charger at a Mechanics shop. I had her to stop and I went inside to ask about it. The owner of the shop said a customer owned it and he hated working on old cars. He told he he threw in a new electronic dist,vr,module and it still wouldn't start. Said that he replaced a lot of wiring under the dash. I asked if he did a amp meter bypass on it he looked at me like I was stupid. I got his card and called him back with a link,I hope he fixed it and gets running,here is some pictures. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures (camera phone)

Yeah I know he even told me he only likes working on newer cars, When talking to him he sounded more like a mechanic who likes to throw parts to repair cars rather diagnose the problem.

Lol, he couldn't find a place to hook up his $5000+ scanner to diagnose the problem so he didn't know how to fix it.

ROFL I've picked up a few cars from people like that some I fixed before I left their shop

I bet he only replaced wires under the dash that he could see. He didn't pull the dash cluster out to check the wiring on the amp meter. So the guy who own the car is paying for a lot of parts that were thrown at it.

Thats cool to offer help . I've done that before myself . Sooner or later , he might get tired of messing with it . Might call him back every so often , could be able to buy it cheap in a couple months . Just sayin ........

That guy needs to take the car to Mike's. He is a 60s Mopar nut too and races a white fastback Barrcacuda.

I know the feeling. In this damp weather with the drastic temperature swings I can't even go out right now. I am getting damn tired of this house. If I don't absolutely have to go I don't.
