Look on the bright side now - there will be no problems with paint match!

Agree. The 68-70 B bodies have a good amount of room for some meaty tires up front.

Nice work. I think too often suspensions are overlooked and nice looking cars end up handling like crap. All new front suspension components, set up properly, will do wonders for the car!

Yup, typical of your type of input to threads... :wtf: Sigh. I planned and drove my 1973 Road Runner across country last year over a two month period. I haven't yet learned to be in two places at once. If you want to be that pedantic about my Power Tour statement and it makes you feel all...

I would like to dyno it if I have time. Of course, that would be with a different distributor and carb than my 70 (I run FAST fuel injection on the 70), but that shouldn't matter much. The Power Tour is coming up in mid June, so I am rapidly running out of time. If I can reasonably do it, I...

So I didn't get a lot done last week, but I did finish weighing all my parts so I can balance the assembly. Here is my balance card: Next week I will build the bobweights and put this on the balancing machine. It should be close since this was run before, although I have made minor changes to...

My 70 was built with factory manual drum brakes on all corners. When I restored the car, I bought a front disk brake kit from Right Stuff, and that kit replaced the spindles with a 73/74 style brake setup. So bottom line is I can't answer your question. I never had the 245/60 tires on the 15x8...

It's possible. I do believe that some people don't check their lifter bores carefully, and burrs on them cause lifter problems that wipe cams. However, I also believe much of the problem is with lifters. You sound like the type that checked things carefully, so I would lean more to suspecting...

Remember that a rocker arm pushes in a circle. Think of the rocker tip, shaft mounting location and pushrod connection points as a line. This line moves in a circle. The pushrod merely moves up and down. So the maximum movement from a pushrod to the rocker is when this line is at a right angle...

I gave our kids each a car. Then they had to pay repairs and gas. I also had a strict rule: Let anyone drive your car, or have any passengers in it without my wife or my permission and it's gone. No warnings. The biggest cause of accidents are kids showing off to their friends and cell phone use...

Sorry - I missed this originally. :( Hope you had a great one! :moparsmiley: :usflag: :bday: :usflag: :moparsmiley:

I have a GV in my 73 Road Runner - essentially the same car from a structure perspective. I used it when I drove the car over 11,000 miles across country. (Look up RoadKill Runner if you want to check it out) Did it help? You bet, in lots of ways. Of course, it lowers RPM, and that reduces...

Maybe you just want to sit 'gangsta' low?!?

Don, That car is just a super find - I love it! (And, of course, it is made batter by the air cleaner topping the motor!!! :luvplace: ) Getting crap out of the gas tank can be a royal pain in the butt. When I first got my 70 Road Runner on the road (and before restoration) my tank had a...

I think all new(er) cars have those stupid messages about keeping your eye on the road. I love my 2020 Ram, but there are some things that are annoying about it - that warning screen is one of them. What is more annoying are the seatbelts and auto-park feature. The seatbelt warning will chime...

It will be exciting to have it at a show and show it off!

You didn't derail the thread - if the pictures of our cars in various places bring back memories, that's great and what it is all about!
