Hello, my name is Jeff Intwert. I am a Charger
enthusiast with a love for cars. I would personally like to see more of these
unique vehicles at show and shines, and being that I am an Electronics
Engineering graduate, and ironically an Instrumentation Mechanic by trade, I
have recently decided to offer my services to fellow Chargarians
in need.
The 1966 and 1967 Chargers are quite unique in that
they have specialized equipment common only to 1960-1962 Chrysler 300’s, and
1961-1963 Chrysler Imperials. I can provide restoration services for the
instrument cluster, the electroluminescent power supply, and the front and rear
medallions.
The instrument
cluster, I rewire the fuel, temperature and oil pressure gauges. I bypass the
electro-mechanical internal regulator in the fuel gauge and install an external
electronic regulator, then recalibrate all the gauges
and tachometer. I repair then recondition the faces to their original finish
using cleaners, not harsh abrasives. The gauge, tach
and speedometer needles are repaired if needed and repainted. I have also
right from the beginning painted the needles that they receive multiple coats
to give the correct depth, without bleeding in the color. The
odometer is cleaned and set to any mileage so required. All needle movements
are lubricated.
I can repair the gauges, tach and speedometer needles. I believe am the
originator of a needle repair process. The speedometer and tach, I am able to repair the needles without removing and replacing the needle
movements, as yet other service provider’s
do, with great success, this way,
the units are minimally disturbed.
I can also repair the tachometers or simply replace the electronics with
new technology provided from http://rt-eng.com/.
These are the new electronic voltage limiters 
and the tachometer repair kits that I use in my builds.
I can also provide a complete turnaround service. I
will restore the instrument cluster, remove and polish the lenses from the
instrument bezel, then send the bezel to GCAR for plating. Once the bezel
is received back, I will reassemble the entire cluster, retest it, and ship it
via Canada Post Expedited parcel with insurance for repaired value to any
destination. Turnaround is 8-10 weeks. This is the time required for the bezel replating, and is out of my control.
Here is a
sample of my rear trunk medallion restoration, and my front grill emblem
restoration.
I can also offer assistance in other areas as well if
needed. For instance, the addition of electronic ignition or
front disc brakes. I personally have done both to my ride.
I have been asked if I work on headlight
motors also. Sorry, I have been fortunate enough that mine have always worked.
Perhaps this will help, it is the Charger Supplement
to the 1966 Dodge Service Manual.

I also have found a supplier of new reproduction
stubby shaft thermostatic fan clutches. These will not only buy you 5-10 rear
wheel horsepower, but also increase gas mileage, all while keeping your vehicle
cool with the use of a stock 7-blade fan.
Oh yah, the car, she’s a 1of 2809,
383 4-sp cars produced for the 1966 model year. I have the numbers 383, but I
now run her with a balanced .040” over 440 with a steel crank, Competitions
Cam, Competitions Roller Rockers, and ported and polished aluminum Stealth
heads from The 440 Source. The Carter high volume fuel pump feeds an 850 Thermoquad on top of an Edelbrock
Performer. It has 69 HP manifolds, Mopar electronic
ignition, a thermostatic fan clutch and 4 core rad, a
Mancini Racing high volume water pump and aluminum thermostat housing, Centerforce clutch, 2 ½ Flowmaster
exhaust, 11 inch front discs, a 3” seamless driveshaft with Spicer ends and
7290 u-joints, an 8 ¾ with a 3.23 rear gear in an Auburn Positraction
with the Mopar green bearing upgrade along with an Addco rear sway bar all riding on Energy Suspensions
polyurethane bushings and 14” magnum 500’s. Everything else on the car works
also.
