Thanks for all your well thought out replies! I will watch the videos and do some research on load placement in the circuit. I want to add that the problem with the fusible link heating up happens both at times when the fans / vacuum pump are running AND when they are not. So I was under the...

Hello everyone. I’ve got a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner with an upgraded 440. My son does the electrical for me and is the one writing up this post. I have a problem with the fusible link getting too hot, so hot you can’t even touch it. It only gets hot when the engine is running. I can turn the...

The car sat a least a few years when we got it. The PO’s husband had put the carb on it drove it a bit and I assume passed away, the it sat for a while. It ran okay the day we picked it up. Didn’t do any of the problems it has now. And that was with the old gas and points. We did have to prime...

Yes, when we bought it we drove onto the trailer with points. Seemed okay then. For the numbers, I will have to get back to my dad. We have a manual choke installed. Carb was installed by PO. Don’t know it’s status. We checked for vacuum leaks and couldn’t find any. And we have not taken a...

We just installed them ourselves a month or two ago. We just bought the car in June, and immediately put the pertronix in. We bought the pertronix kit off of eBay.

Hello everyone. My dad and I are working on his 1969 Plymouth GTX. It has a 440 and a 727 transmission. The carburetor is an Edelbrock 1407 750CFM and the points have been upgraded to a Pertronix Ignitor 2. Here are the issues we have been having. First, when you start it, it runs very rough...

Still need help guys. Bought one from the guys at mrmoparts and they sent the wrong one. Does anyone have one. And does anyone know if it’s the left hand or right hand type? Thanks

From what I understand, it's a left-hand and right-hand clip. Does anyone know which of the two I need?

That’s great guys, but which one do I need? The eBay and the website are opposite each other.

Thanks for the help, everyone. Brakes are working well, and we left the original setup now that we know it's factory.

Hello everyone, My dad and I just bought a 1969 Plymouth GTX with a 440 and an auto trans. The lower section of the kickdown linkage is missing its clip. Does anyone know what the clip I need looks like? I bought one on eBay, but it was the wrong one. No one seems to have one.

And to answer R413’s question. We thought they were mismatched because the shoes looked different than what the manual showed. According to the manual this is a heavy duty / manual adjuster shoe: And this is a self adjusting setups brake shoe: The shoes on our car look like the shoes used...

Thanks for the help everyone. We are confident in our brake setup now!

Thanks for the info! The confusing part was the maintenance manual having a listing for heavy duty/police brakes and 11” drums. We can’t tell what it was originally setup for. We were thinking someone just installed the wrong parts. And since the shoes have those extra holes in the bottom, we...

Hello everyone, My dad and I just bought a 1969 Plymouth GTX and one of the first things we are doing is the brakes. We are trying to figure out if these brakes require self adjusters or not. They are 11" drums, and are currently fitted with manual adjusters. Looking at the maintenance manual...
