I replaced mine a few years ago and YES they were very tough to get the stalk shafts inserted! I used emory cloth/fine sand paper to polish the shafts and even put grease on them and really had to force them on. They're stiil very tight to flip up and down, need 2 hands and have to rotate near...

Good evening tribe: I'm replacing my worn out distributor with one from Halifaxhops (thanks for the referrals, we spoke this morning) and wondering what type of “purple” cam I have as seen by looking down the hole with the distributor removed. Please see picture below, you can see a purple gob...

Hello Mopar Gurus & Geeks: Has anyone bought from or had refurb dione by Joe's Mopar Distributor Restoration? I found him by Google search and talked with him this afternoon, seems like a standup guy and can give you what you want (stock, OEM/NOS, custom, points or electronic) complete with...

Thanks everyone - some folks are helpful and others are just bullies calling us hacks! lol I am a decent backyard mechanic that fixes "hacks" on my '71 road runner every time I work on it owned more than 5 years! I just don't do hot work nor want to DIY this now and risk damaging the solder...

Then why not just unplug and remove it then? Does it serve another purpose requiring the other 3 pins plugged in?

Hello B Buddys, I noticed this bent tab wondering if it was done for a reason or should it be straightened and plugged in? It’s been like this for 5+ years since I bought it everything works OK… sort of looks like it is intended NOT to be plugged in and purposesly bent, just another random...

Hello B Buddy's, my radiator bracket is detached from the upper tank, I am planning on using Gorilla 5 minute Epoxy to secure it - think that will work? I'm not worriend about it falling out, the upper hose will also help keep it in place once it's back in... I know it was originally soldered...

Gurus: do either of these look like the the right one for my '71 road runner? From Classic Industries:$5.99 MD7116 - 1960-1976 Maopar A/B-Body Clutch Fork Return Spring: From Year One: $6.93 1966-1974 B-Body Clutch Fork Reyurn Spring for models with Small Block and Big Block Engines.

Greetings HawkRod & Pistol Pete! How can we send a cash donation in advance, and to one of you or both? I saw something mentioned regarding PayPal, I do not use that but can send from my checking account using Zelle, or can get an App or even send a paper check (lol). Please advise how to...

Thanks gang for the referral! Quite expen$ive but looks like the only one that uses steel core (compared to Legendary, Classic Industries, Year One, etc.) I'll contact Bob to see if it's best to have mine redone rather than swap it and return my core...

Thanks Aron, I also need a heater core (MUCH less important) looks like they can cover that too!

Hello Tribe, thinking it's time to replace my radiator. It works OK and although has NOT yet overheated, on hot days and in car show/rush hour stop & go the temperature climbs and makes me nervous! *Where is the BEST place to but a stock looking (26") replacement? Thanks to all! road robert

Hello, my '71 road runner dash pad just cracked all the way through right in my line of site. Started shopping for replacement and wondering if anyone found the best looking and fit. Not interested in a "cap" unless you know one that looks great and can't tell the difference. Thanks!

'Damn! I was hoodwinked!! The more time I spend under this car instead of in it the more Mickey Mouse stuff I find - owned it > 5 years... Thanks! Even without the spring it's a workout to operate the clutch on this ole bird lol!

I just noticed this and can't tell from the service manual pics - is there supposed to be a nut on the thread as seen in the below pics?
