Another welcome from Sunny Florida! Back in college I drove a 73 Roadrunner, Petty blue with white top and stripes, great car for a long drive.

So I'm in a little different spot myself. I'm 66 with a number of health problems including a very bad back. Hoping to get surgery soon but it's been a grind finding a surgeon willing to take me on as a patient. My 70 Roadrunner is my first car, the car my wife & I dated in in high school...

Took Drivers Ed in two 1975 Roadrunners, one white and the other light blue I think. Fun times slaloming and parallel parking in those beasts!

Totally awesome! Megadeth is one of my all time favorites as well, pretty sure I have all or almost all of their CDs.

Awesome, back when NASCAR was actually stockcar racing!

That's a shame, bought their 26" radiator brackets for 22" radiator supports. Was planning on either buying a 26" from them or having them recore my 22. Guess not now.

Sounds exactly like mine, coated Hookers, want to recore radiator to 3 row max cooling core, and a perfect set of manifolds to go on if that's the way I go. Be interested in hearing back here if you do go that way how obvious the loss of power is, what the sound quality, etc. is afterwards.

Reading the Q&A for the B engine Doug's Headers D451, Summit says they won't work with column shifted automatic cars. Does anyone have these installed on a similar car? I went out to the Doug's website and there's zero info on fitment like there is on the TTI website.

I'd check the sourcing on the Moog parts, most are made in China now. Ugh.

One of my favorite commercials ... to mock mercilessly

Stainless are gorgeous but are they hotter than ceramic coated headers? I have to think they transfer more heat without the coating?

It did for me, symptoms like you describe. Start fine, drive down the road, pull up to a stop light or two, car dies, sometimes it would start, other times not. It still stalled every now and then, rebuilding the carter carb finally fixed that.

That's good info, I already have two converters I can use, one 2500 rpm the other a 'tight' 3000 rpm. Probably shouldn't plan on gearing down to 2.77 on the road. Likely run a 3.91 or 4.10 so a GV shouldn't be a problem with either. Thanks!

I was going to say check / swap out the ballast as well. That plagued me on a Barracuda I had until I found & replaced it. Kept a spare just in the car just in case after that.
