Who cares if it is a big-block, it is also the most produced classic Charger EVER. Do you also feel you are better than me because you are not "beating your charger to death." People like you make young guys like me shy away from mopars. Usually older people embrace the young guys and try to teach them, you simply are not one of those good guys in this hobby. People like you make me and many others stay away from moparts, which is a valuable resource. Do you get your jollies off by insulting people and calling them stupid. You were young at one point if some [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] told you that you are wrecking your car what would you do? Like I said it is just a car. I hope that one day you will realize this.
BTW great looking Superbee!

Some of these older guys think that they are the word of God in human form and that they could do no wrong. Take no offense. You are 100 % correct, many of these older guys look for something to blame on you because of your age. I see it all of the time. I get questioned all of the time about stupid crap because people assume that me being a young kid I dont know what im doing. I love the people that tell me that my car doesnt have a 273 in it because the smallest engine they made was a 318. Yeah sure. They forget that some of them were very capable of working on a car when they were a teen ager. I have friends that dont know enough about their own car to tune it correctly. Instead of telling them to sell it because they will never be able to do it I show them how. I think youre too far away from me but Id love to come take a look at your car. It has the electonic ignition, correct?

Sounds like an improperly timed engine, fouled plugs, a crossed wire, or maybe a combo of those three as well as possibly a poorly tuned carb. If you ignore these Mopar Police who are trying to make you go buy a Chevy (so that they could then complain about the Chevy tools with all of their chrome) you will get the correct information.

DO you have a good manual (like a Chiltons) to help you trouble shoot? Most trouble shooting stuff will be the same on alot of cars, but a manual is always nice for suggestions.

On Monday I will solder the leads back onto my voltmeter.
Here is a list of this I have done stuff to.
ECU
-Put a known working one in, still ran the same
-Made another ground with 2 12awg wires to the firewall
Cap and Rotor
-Replaced, still ran the same
-I did not feel and excessive play
Ballast
-Put a known good one in, MSD 0.8ohm ran worse
-Put old Standard one in ran the same



-Bypassed, before screwing with timing, car ran great MSD Coil



-Tried 4 different ballasts, backfired with all
-Ran worst with MSD ballast
-After checking all the ballasts I bypassed them
OEM 30 year old coil
-Car no longer backfired, made less power than usual
-One day the car randomly would not rev above 2000rpm, so I fooled with the timing
Plug Wires
-Has Accel 8mm suppression core wires with less than 100 miles on them
Plugs
-Has NGK XR5 plugs with less than 100 miles
-Replaced champions
-Gapped at .35
Valvetrain
-Visual inspection and pushing with hand showed nothing.
-Some side to side play
Ignition Timing
-Really screwed up
Carb
-Float levels are correct
-69 primaries
-Stock secondaries
-Holley 670cfm street avenger
Distributor
-30 year old stock unit

Today I hooked up my timing light and with the help of my uncle we got it in the correct area. It was way too far advanced. He thinks that a valve may be hanging up or burnt and there is a misfire as well as running rich. Tomorrow I will beck out the ignition system and look at the color of the spark.

Now yer talkin'!

Did you ever hook up the vacuum gauge and tell us what it read? If you do, in fact, have a burnt valve, it would show up on the vacuum gauge immediately.
