Thanks for the replies. I’ll order one of the performer RPM manifolds. Air gap is the same height, so I’ll probably grab one of those. That car now has a better cooling system and coated headers that I didn’t have 20 years ago, so I haven’t had vapor lock in a long time. Probably don’t even...

I should say that due to percolation issues in the past I run a 1/2" heat insulator under the carb.

Hey all. Anybody else have a '72 Road runner with a 340 or a small block Satellite? I've had an LD340 manifold on mine for years, but It has seen better days. Has been repaired (welded) once and it is warped. I need to replace it, but hood clearance is real tight on that car and the LD340 isn't...

Hmm.... Already running a drop base air cleaner as is, so the extra 1/2" or so taller over the current manifold I'm running could be a deal breaker. Thanks for the reply.

Any of you run an Edelbrock RPM air gap manifold on a 71-72 road runner (small block)? The hood is pretty low, and I'm wondering if it will clear.

Howdy. Anybody know where I can get new mirror glass for my 1972 sport mirrors? I need to re-chrome the housings and I already broke one of the mirrors trying to remove it. They used to sell them at Year One back in the 90's but I haven't been able to find any now. I know the entire mirror...

Another update. Once again sorry its been so long. It is tough to find time to work on the car with a 10 month old baby! I just got the car re-aligned by somebody that knew their business. I gave them the "street specs" of -.5 degree camber, +2.5 degree caster and 1/16" toe in. Even with the...

Well that took a lot longer than anticipated. Mainly because I put some of it together wrong and then had to re-do it. Anyway, the new box is in and steers great. I still have to do a little more adjusting to the tie rods. It's close, but not perfectly centered. I think i may take it in and have...

Will do AMX364. Just got the box in the mail, hopefully I can install it this week and check it all out.

I was running that exact same wheel and tire combo on my 72 Road Runner. With the 245's on 15x8's there was a ton of room still up front, and the 295's on 15x10's out back cleared without relocating the springs. It was super tight though. You will definitely need to go with more backspacing to...

Wow, it's been a while since I visited this thread. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who chimed in and give a status update. I readjusted the tie rod ends and got the wheel centered. I then tried to do the sector shaft adjustment, but still had a lot of slop. Probably didn't help that the...

Lookin good! Those wheels look awesome guys! Are they hub-centric? Also, do you need special lug nuts for them?

As far a I can tell the pitman arm only goes on one way and its the same with the column coupler. Both input and output shafts on the steering box have a master spline. It's been a couple years since I replaced the pitman arm, but I just put the column in yesterday and it definitely only went on...

The car is real low and it's hard to tell if the pitman arm and idler arm are pointing straight back, especially since the pitman arm is curved. I'll have to get it up on some ramps and check again. It looks pretty close when I center the steering between locks, but also pretty close when I put...

They are not centered. It is way offset to one side. That's why I'm thinking its just an alignment issue. Seems like the dude who aligned it last time would have told me that he had to make one tie rod 2" longer than the other to make it drive straight with the steering wheel centered! The old...

Howdy everyone, I just got done fixing a steering slop problem on my '72 road runner and everything is working well. However, I have run into another issue and I'm not sure if it's related or not to the work I just did to the car. When I have the wheels pointed straight ahead the steering wheel...

Thanks for the help! Thanks for all the advice guys, and big thanks to 72roadrunnerGTX for the info. and for selling me the parts to fix this issue right! I rebuilt the steering column with the correct '72 parts and eliminated the '73 and up isolator. Now it is back to stock and steers great...

Kinda pricy, but here's one on Seattle C-list. http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/pts/3520348266.html

Here is a pic of the bottom of the column with the rubber isolater thingy at the end. That then bolts to a T shaped piece that is attached to the splines on the steering box

The column has a normal mopar pot coupler above the rag joint, so it can still move fore and aft a bit and accept slight misalignment. The only part I was trying to eliminate was the rubber disk.
