American Car Craft Challenger Firewall Polished 2008-2012 5.7L only - Manual (Page 2)

begins to sit relatively parallel to the wiper cowl ridge. It is also important
to make sure that the fuel line is centered in the notch provided. We have
experienced the transmission dip stick can be over to one side or the other
from car to car should this be the case with your vehicle the tube can
easily be adjusted by inserting a large long screwdriver into the tube. This
will give you ideal leverage to nudge the tube so that you can achieve a
nice centered appearance. Once you are satisfied with the fit drill two 9/64
holes directly thru the upper chrome trim and into the cowl ridge. Just to
the left and right side of the firewall you will notice two large plastic circular
cowl retainers on the cowl. These are good locations to place screws thru
the firewall to hold it securely.
4. Once the holes are drilled, remove the protective liner. Then secure with
the two chrome oval head screws (provided), just enough so that the head
of the screw countersinks itself into the chrome trim. Be sure not to over
tighten. Replace engine cover. HELPFUL TIP: There are two ground bolts
on the left and right side of the engine bay just hidden behind the shock
tower ridge. For best placement of your new firewall you may want to rest
the panel in front of these bolts!
5. For SRT 8 Models Only: Thoroughly clean the top of the factory
transmission fluid dip stick cap with household rubbing alcohol then swipe
the factory cap once with the adhesive promoter provided. You have been
provided with a chrome cap cover remove the Velcro attachment cookie
and install it onto the factory cap and press firmly to set. Then simply
place your new cap cover in position.
