Well I fired it up and all is good with the new Denso alternator.When it wasn’t working I questioned my wiring but it ended up being A bad alternator new out of the box.Just happy I didn’t have to trace my wiring as I deleted it as best I could from the engine compartment for the clean look.Now the fuel gauge!!!

Did a paint test to see if i got the color right. Nailed it! My painting skills suck big time, but the color is exactly what I was going for.
 
I took the Charger to work today to have the alignment redone after changing the steering box. The steering wheel is now centered and it tracks straight. The good news is that I tried the air on the way home and it blows cold. I was afraid all my trouble working around the A/C to rebuild the top end would be wasted.

Smelled gas when the car was sitting in idle, so I opened the hood to find gas leaking a stream onto the k frame. So I replaced the gas line from the line on the frame rail to the pump.

The old line was cracked and soft. Looked like vacuum hose.

Simple but now I don't have to worry about a mopar bon fire

Been so long. Refresh me again what do you do at kitchen tables? Besides show off nice parts to the neighbors and family that visit.

couple of things you can do there, but breakfast is always one of my favorites

gotta spill some bacon grease on it to get the fuel smell off

Bacon grease on the intake?

YES

it greases the intake track, and makes it easier for air to get in
more air, more gas
more gas, more power

not to mention, your demon will smell like my 2 stroke dirt bike with klotz in it



(but i meant the kitchen table)
