Unfortunate incident w/ leaky mechanical oil pressure gauge means I need to replace the carpet in my '73 Challenger. I'm looking for suggestions for which brand(s) of carpet to use -- or avoid -- so I can address the situation ASAP. Thx

ACC carpet from RockAuto. Get the "Mass Backing" option. It's a rubber coating on the under side of the carpet. It helps the carpet keep its shape and is a sound deadener. I did not get the mass backing on my Challenger carpet but I did on my Dart. The Dart carpet went in a lot smoother, keeps its shape nicer and just feels much nicer. Well worth a little bit extra money.
The "loop" style is factory. The "Essex" looks like modern carpet.

surprised no one is recommending the carpet from ECS , has that ship sailed and no longer avail????
Ive used nothing but ACC carpet for the well over 20 years.
get it out of the box asap, and let it lay flat every time. and every time no issues ECS sells ACC carpet.
