May have been the last hole that the line worker drilled before the supervisor saw it. I can see the guy's face who goes to install the clutch switch wire and sees the hole in the wrong spot. Who knows, maybe they were used to see modifications and was no big surprise. I like the pun. Hole...

Looks like I may have the only '70 RR with the clutch switch wire hole between clutch boot and speedo grommet. Every one elses is above the speedo grommet. Does that make mine more valuable?

Ok thanks. My plant is also St Louis and not sure why the hole is in a different position. Might remain a mystery for ever. Needless to say, I will use that hole for the clutch switch.

There was another pic I saw of a '70 Charger built in Feb '70. He had the same hole as B5. Mine must have been built on Monday morning......:( My plant was in St. Louis. I guess the question is if the Clutch safety switch was a mid year intro in '70 or was installed the entire year. I heard...

70 B5, do you happen to know your build date? Mine was Feb '70.

Yes that is it! It is the wire to the clutch switch for a '70 4 speed. Clutch has to be depressed in order for engine to start. The hole size on mine is .455". See attached picture. It is in a different place than your but looks to be in the same general area. Maybe was changed during the year...

I get one on Thursday.

I have managed to figure out what every hole and cutout is for on my '70 RR. EXCEPT for one! It is a 4-speed, w/ air grabber, no a/c, manual brakes and steering, Rallye dash w/ a 440+6. The hole I cannot figure out is stuck between the speedo hole (7/8") and the oval cut out for the clutch...

Hey Russ! Yes, I am slowly making progress and life is slowing me down. Trying to get the components done first and then move on to assembling on the body. I have a friend who helps out but he has health issues at the moment. It will get done, just a matter of when.

I am rebuilding the steering column on my '70 RR with floor shift and manual steering. The question is which countersink on the shift tube does the shift housing set screw go into? If I push the shift housing as far down as I can on the shift tube, the set screw hits as shown in the first...

I placed a decent order with Y/O months ago. Still waiting on one part. It is not urgent, but the other parts I needed. The order had around 10 items and only five shipped right away. The other three have slowly trickled in. I ended up canceling one and ordering from a different vendor. Not sure...

If I remember right, that is close to the same size material as the spring? If so, I would think it was spring steel and meant to flex. Thicker and wider frame parts are not meant to flex and are not spring steel. You can see in the picture that they used a mechanical strap to tie the cross...

Good looking RR! Good luck.

That is probably spring steel. If it is welded, it will alter the metallurgy and therefore the spring properties. Need to figure out a mechanical way to splice. Thank God I got my interior kit a year or so ago. Parts are hit and miss these days. Just can't depend on vendors having the parts you...

Thanks for posting. I am rebuilding my column as we speak and would have come across this. Great picture!

I have a new pan on order as well as the plastic windage tray! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I would imagine they have to match the thickness of the original metal pan and two gaskets. That would keep the oil pick up clearance in the pan the same. Here is the link on 440 Source that shows the dimples in the pan rail...

I have never been a big fan of using plastic instead metal, but the Jeg's windage tray looks like it would have a better seal than the factory double gasket. Is that what the consensuses is of those you used this? The description of this windage tray says for oil pans with smooth rails. Looking...

I hope it works out!

Might try this guy also. He rebuilt my '70 belts and supplied some missing parts. http://allmoparseatbelts.com Not as pricey as Ssnake oyl. Yes, it dos have two "ss".
