i have a power steering unit i want to either sell or trade for manual steering for a 73 RR. power steering unit came out of 73 RR worked good when removed. has shaft and hoses still attached. thanks for looking. -brantly

well. the wiring in this car is going to kill me i swear it! issue after issue.

yep. im getting close to 2 volts. i appreciate your help. im new to mopars been a ford guy for some time but couldnt pass up owning a RR as ive wanted one since ive been a little kid. about 6 y/o. so where is the switch at? close to the ignition key i would imagine? i also have a couple of extra...

Also roadrunner. I'm pretty sure the majority of my problems here are electrical. And I'm not getting any spark at all and have 4-5 volts at coil with key in on position. New everything in engine bay. Distributor came out of the car originally my thought is that could be contacts in distributor...

Yes. Well I grounded the neutral safety switch to ground post on relay but what I was referring to was having to use a flathead screwdriver and touch the BATT post and SOL post on relay at same time to get it to turn over.

Well I think I've figured out what's going on with the starter. I got it turn over like it should but I have to jump the power stud to ground stud on the relay then it turns over like it should. I'm thinking it's a ground somewhere under the dash. Starter just clicks when using the key. But I'm...

my apoligies dave, i just re read my original post. the car wouldnt start with the cables from the truck hooked up to old battery it would only cause the grinding.... sorry for the confusion.

hmm. well if this is my problem. i would say its the starter thats not right for the setup. flywheel came out of the car and started fine before the rebuild. (with the large factory starter) wouldnt suprise me if your right though.

nope not running a trunk battery. ill will give this a try tonight and update later. thanks everyone for your hlep so far. cruising the coast is in 3 weeks. tryin to get this thing together before then. still have to swap to manual steering b/c of the headers.

the dakota is the 318. is that not the starter taht will work? i read somewhere that it would on one of the forums. which one will if not this one?

ok how about a bad ground? could that cause this? noticed today that the ground from starter to relay is loose. the actual terminal not the wire. so im gonna get a new relay and see what happens.

looking for manual steering gear and shaft. willing to buy or trade for a power steering set up from the same car. thanks.

well. the nose in the bell where the starter sits is good. but ill pull starter again just to be sure. ive heard that sometimes the mini starters need to sit a little bit away from the flywheel to let the pinion engage like it shoudl? although i didnt think that it would be needed i went ahead...

do you know if this would fit in a 73 RR??? i have a power steering box and have to switch to manual due to the hedman headers.

ok the latest on this issue is the new battery didnt help. also heard somewhere if you ream the holes where starter mounts up so you can move in and out in relation to flywheel will help, well that didnt help. had a buddy bump the starter and it looks like to me the starter wheel is bouncing...
