Many thanks for your feedback! During the restoration the radiator got a new core with four rows, fuel line is 3/8" and I am already using the 180 Stant Super Stat - good to see that there are no issues with different conditions in your bigger engines with more horsepower. Do you still use the...

Hi, I am driving a 68 Road Runner with 4-speed and 489 rear end, engine is a 440 from 1978 without any modifications. I am planning for a mild stroker (440->505 or 400->470), street use only. Looking at the stroker engines build in this forum, did you also modify the cooling, the gas supply...

Thanks to FBBO I have a grille now.

Hi, since the grille of my 68 Road Runner is cracked and cut on several sides I am searching for a grille for the 68 Road Runner to complete my 7-year-bare-to the-metal-restoration. Thanks, Thorsten

Throttle cable was delivered this week and installed yesterday. Works fine, thanks!

PM sent.

Removing the steering wheel makes it easier, also a second person tp prevent scratches.

Uh-oh, the grille was never chromed? Then I will have the chrome removed and then start to polish the top and bottom. From the squares I have only one picture from the front side and I do not know if this is original. If you increase it in the viewer, I think it looks brighter than black...

Hi, doing a bare to the metal restoration on my 68 Road Runner I started the carpet installation. From several threads in this great forum, I have learned that the accelerator pedal is located in the upper right corner of the heel pad but I could not find any pictures, showing "the rest" of...

Hi, I am restoring a Plymouth Road Runner 68 and had my grill re-chromed. Now I need to paint it "the cells". Does anybody have detailed pictures which parts of the grill have to be painted? As far as I know, the color was dark gray and not black, right? Thanks, Thorsten

Thanks for your feedback, I already have contacted the shop (Jacksautoparts). Hope that I get some feedback from them and the option to send the wrong harness back and get the correct one.

Yes, this is the connector on my old dash harness: And these are the connectors on the new one (HU269B)... cable colors, number of cables and connector are completely different:

Hi, I am restoring a 68 Road Runner and bought a new dash harness from MH wiring harness (Yearone, Classicindustries, e.g.). Assembling the dash, nearly all connectors to my (non-ralley) dash are fine but for one, the dash harness doesn't fit, even the colors are wrong. I attached a photo of...

Hi, restoring a 68 Road Runner I had to buy a new turn signal switch. The old connector for the cables on the turn signal switch (the clear one, 10 prong) is really bad. Is there a replacement part? Thanks, Thorsten

If you replace the pilot bearing use a Pilot Roller Bearing, not the original bronze one. At Mancini it is part no. MOPP4876056AA http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/pilotbearing.html
