    No crank with key troubleshooting

    74 Road Runner with a 360 that won't crank over with the key. I can jump the contacts on the starter relay and it will crank. I ran a jumper from batt neg to NSS terminal on starter relay and still no start. This tells me that the NSS is not the issue. I measured voltage at the yellow wire while...

    Bad ignition switch?

    I have a 74 roadrunner with a 5.9 mag in it and I've noticed that it sometimes takes a couple key turns back and forth to get the starter to fire. It's been getting worse and worse, and now it doesnt start. Starter is new about 5 months ago. So I'm thinking it's the ignition switch or wiring to...

    Front accessory bracket location

    I'm rebuilding a 5.9 magnum engine to put in my 74 road runner. I have the front accessory brackets from the 318 that I pulled from it but I'm a little confused on how these brackets go on because things don't seem to line up very well. I took pictures of it when I was pulling the 318 but the...

    I have a 74 318 road runner and I went through the front suspension over the winter and put a pst front suspension kit and bilstein stocks. I just got my car aligned (it was way out of spec) and now the steering feels really loose. I knew it was always pretty terrible but now with greased up...

    I'm putting new oem style disk brakes on my 74 Road Runner and I noticed that my new rotors already have bearing races pressed in.

    Starting engine without k frame?

    I have my k frame out because it's getting cleaned up, welded, and painted and I just replaced the oil pan gasket and rear main seal while I had access. Is there a good way to start the engine with it just on Jack stands? Id like to check to see if it leaks while I still have access to the oil pan.

    I've got a 74 road runner with a 318 in it and I can't get my temp and oil gauges to work.

I installed new oil and temp sending units and made...

    Terrible engine noises after replacing valve cover gasket

    My 318 was leaking a little from the valve cover so I decided to change it. I swapped it in and then started it up and it ran fine but starting spitting up even more oil than before. I'm sure the gasket wasn't on right so I took it off and then straightened it out. This time I bumped one of the...

    Bulkhead connector question

    I have a 74 road runner with a 318 and I'm trying to figure out my temp and oil gauge.

    Is there a way to test if engine bay wiring is bad?

    I was recommended to get a new wiring harness for the engine bay saying that my car would start better and be safer. I'm wondering if there is a way to measure how bad my wiring is, like can I measure the current or the risistance to see if I'm losing a noticable amount of power?
