    I recently picked up this

    Hello everyone, i am exited to finally share with you this 1985 dodge charger shelby that i picked up a couple of weeks ago. What i know of the vehicle is that it was purchased by the previous owner sometime in 1991 and the put in a barn for the next 30ish years. Currently it does not run, but me and my friends plan on fixing it up and getting it back on the road where it belongs. If any of you have advice on how to make that go smoothly such as fixing the shifter bushing that has completely disintegrated, I will gladly accept it.

    the round barrel like terminals found in the power module plugs and the distributor plugs..don't shove anything in those thinkin' you're going to scrape em clean
    there are tangs inside the barrel that make the connection to the pin ..

    I had a buddy do that to his power module plugs with my torch tip cleaner tool..we spent the rest of the evening finding replacement plugs in my basement and soldering them on..

    you still need to clean the crustiness out of them before you adjust the little nubs inward.

    but yes, dont be a crazy person and crush them or drill them out or anything invasive like that.

    We were all pretty shocked with how nice it looks. It's definitely been enjoyed though as there are a couple good sized dents in her.
