I love my 70 Road Runner. Definitely was optioned for go fast with the E87, N96 and A32 options :thumbsup:

I don't plan to put the paper gaskets back in but will use the 3 Bond or Permatex #2 to seal it up the ports and black RTV for the ends. Does that sound correct? The valve cover bolts were still loose from when I was checking the rocker/valve action.

Well if anyone is interested, I pulled the intake today and look at what I found on #6 and #8 ports. No wonder it was having issues. I guess the previous owner had a oops during assembly...

You nailed it!! I sprayed around each intake port and sure enough when I hit #8 the rpm's picked up! Gawd I love this site! Thanks to everyone who responded; much appreciated. Now comes the fun part of pulling the intake off and checking to see what needs to be sealed up. It's always something!

Great suggestions. There is a vacuum port on that intake runner for the air grabber and the power brakes. I will plug that off and see what happens. I will also try a different plug wire and report back. Thanks!

I am trying to figure out why I have 1 dead cylinder. I have a 70 Road Runner with a stock 440 6 bbl. and #8 cylinder won't fire. I pulled the XR5 spark plug for #8 and its very black and has build up all over it. The rest of the spark plugs look nice with a clean tan appearance on the...

Couple of pics of places I took my Superbird - airfield and a grocery store

I mounted my MSD box under the frame that houses the headlights on the passenger side. The wire run is short to the distributor and nobody ever spots it. Fairly easy to access it from the lower valance area. Its been there for 10 years and has never given me any trouble.

The back end of mine!

That's my car! Thanks for posting a pic of it :thumbsup:

Mine and a old friend of mine

Very nice & easy to use. Works for my car! Thanks!

Correct, it will only install one way on the flexplate

The block is a late 69 HP block but is not numbers matching to the car. I would say it was originally a 440 4BBL block that sometime in its life was made to be a 6BBL to go with the car's VIN, buildsheet etc. The tranny is a 72 out of a B-body. The TC I am trying to use is new from Hughes...

Thanks, all I wanted to do was get rid of a driveline vibration and I ended up only making things worse. Kind of frustrating when you think you have it all figured out and Bam it kicks you in the ***.
