I called up EZ Wiring and they suggested a 21 circuit fuse box. It comes with the wiring harness for less than $200. Now that is more in my budget range. I am pretty sure that this is what I am going to get. Thanks. - - - Updated - - - Call EZ Wiring, they have a 21 circuit with wiring for...

I talked with the Ron Francis people and they suggested a 24 circuit system. it would come complete at a cost of $540.00. That's a bit steep for my wallet.

I have a '74 Roadrunner that I am going to restore/upgrade. I am going to upgrad the interior with power seats, windows, door locks, power exterior mirrors, plus a few other things. I'm pretty sure that the fuse box which is from a junk yard (previous owner) won't be able to handle all the...

YY1, yes i did I think about doing it one perch at a time. I would really be screwed if I would have taken both perches off at the same time. Unfortunately the 742 doesn't isn't a sure grip and the rear end in my RR now is a 8 1/4. And if i need work done on the drive shaft there is a drive...

Okay fellas, now that I have the C body rear end, I am going to take the 489 open pumpkin and have it changed over to sure grip with a 3.55 ratio. I think I am locked into getting an Auborn Gear unit since I am not rebuilding a sure grip and there aren't any new Dana's being made and I'm okay...

Most of that stuff was added on by the factory with minimal effort so it is possible. By minimal effort I mean they often didn't redesign the entire steering column for one little handle with a switch. Best advice I can give you is get the entire cruise control column and all the stuff that goes...

Cruise control diagrams I got the cruise control system off the Monaco. The motor had already been removed so the 2 cables and 2 vacuum lines were just just hanging there. I know that one cable (short) connects to the carburetor and the other connects to the transmission. But the vacuum hoses...

I have the chance to buy a cruise control unit off of a '68 Monaco with a 383. I've been thinking about putting one on my 74 Roadrunner restoration project (440). Would this be a difficult project to deal with. The fix it books Chilton and Hayes, don't cover this item because its something that...

I appreciate everyone's input, really helpful. I've decided to buy the rear end off the Monaco and take the perches off and put some new ones on that will fit the spring placement on my RR-46". I went and looked at the rear end and it looks good. The owner said he drove to the spot where it's at...

I have something really strange now. Before I went to a swap meet this morning, I measured the width of the spring perch on my Roadrunner. Just being cautious even though its a B body mopar and it has a 47.3" measurement. It measured out to 46"!? It has a E body 8 1/4 rear end on it. I measured...

Cueball, this is the kind of info I was looking for. Your tire size with a slightly wider rear end. Thanks.

That craigslisting for that rear end wouldn't last half a day down here. It would get bought real quick. That is really a great price! To bad this isn't closer to you. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/pts/3458268415.html

Yes, I've tried Craigslist, EBay, area junk yards. They get bought real quick or the price is really ridiculous. There are a lot of small towns in Texas so I am calling those junk yards and checking to see if one of them might have one. All I really need is the housing and axles. I have a 489...

I've run across a 8 3/4 rear end out of a 68 Monaco and wondering if I'd have any problems having it fit into a 74 roadrunner. The perch widths are the same, 47.3" and total width of the C body is less than 2" wider than the B body rear end. I don't plan on putting wide tires on the car. Do any...
