Guys I'm stumped! This has occasionally happened to me on this project and I've always found someone to rescue me.
Project car is my 1970 Roadrunner with a carbureted 493 stroker. Carb is a Quickfuel 850. Basically a Holley Double Pumper. You guys know the car.
I have a brand new...
Hey Gents,
I am looking for a front spoiler / air dam for my 1970 Roadrunner road-race car. I'm looking for the AAR / NASCAR-type look, and the best stuff I have found is manufactured by a company called Spoilers by Randy. The only problem is that he makes them only for the 68 and 69 cars...
Guys I put more details in my "80 Grit" thread, but when installing a new Gear Vendor tailshaft housing this weekend it became clear that the housing was not centered in the driveshaft tunnel.
This photo shows the factory tailshaft housing, but unfortunately it's not a very good angle to see if...
Hey Gents I need some ideas:
On my '70RR I am in the process of running a fan-cooled trans cooler in front of my radiator and AC condenser - behind the grill but in front of the core support. The cooler lines are replacing the factory pipe which runs only to the radiator cooler - behind the...
Does anyone know if the 68/69 and 70 front Plymouth bumpers share the same profile along the bottom edge? I know it seems like an odd question, but I really need a front chin spoiler for my 70 Roadrunner and I CANNOT find anything. Randy at Spoliers by Randy makes one for the 68/69 but doesn't...
Gents,
I am in the process of installing parts on my newly rebuilt 493 stroker, including the alternator. I went to attach the power wire onto the post on my stock 3-wire alternator and the post came off in my hand (see photo of post and plastic shield). Does this thread into the...
Gents I have reviewed the existing threads and don't think they answer my question. Can you help me? If you look at the pix below, you'll see my stock 383 which I just pulled from my 1970 Roadrunner / 1970 K Frame. We pulled only the long bolt from each engine mount, so the mount is bolted to...
Does anyone have any pictures or descriptions of a large bore fuel line setup from the stock tank to the carb? I'd like to run a half inch line from my stock tank and thru a "built" mechanical pump, but I don't know how to build a pickup for the stock tank. The biggest I can use with a stock...
Guys my numbers matching 1970 RR has black seats and black carpet on the interior. These colors are called out on the fender tag. But the seat belts are dark blue! It seems unlikely that the factory would have done this, on the other hand, who would have changed the seat belts on a stock car...
Guys,
Please take a look at the attached photo from the Factory Service Manual. This is a diagram of the column shift linkage for (among other things) a 1970 Roadrunner. You'll note that there is a Torque Shaft which runs parallel to the ground and rotates between two bushings - one...
Hey Gents,
I have a 1970 RR California car with the Evaporative Control System (ECS). that means that in addition to he fuel line, my tank has four hoses which run from the passenger side of the tank up into a canister in the trunk, and a steel fuel line which then runs forward all the way...
Hey guys I have vibration coming from the rear of my 70 Roadrunner. It only occurs at low idle (after choke is off) or at idle in gear (say at a stop light). It is definitely a low frequency noise, like two pieces of sheet metal vibrating together.
I crawled under the car and started banging...
Because I looked all over the site and couldn't find the answer to this question, I post this:
The 1970 Roadrunner Manual Drum car has a master cylinder with 2 reservoirs. The reservoir in the front (toward the front of the car) serves the rear brakes. The reservoir toward the rear of the car...
Does anyone know what to call this clip and where I can get one? Excuse the black glue on it from my attempted repair, and please note that I think this is only half of the clip...
It is the "clip" which holds the window glass into the front track on the passenger side door of my 1970...
Does anyone know what you call the fuzzy trim pads that run along the top of the front roll-up window "slot" to keep the glass from rattling? Mine are shot, and the window - which is right next to my head coincidentally - rattles and drives me nuts! I'm sure I could buy new ones if I ONLY KNEW...
Here goes nothing. Looks like she's had some prior bodywork during her 40 year life, and some rust spots that are going to require a patch, but all in all not too bad for a car that's been around so long. Check out the cool blend marks (between the roof panel and the rear quarter) from the...
Guys,
I have searched high and low for an idler pulley and bracket that will allow me to remove the A/C Compressor on my 1970 383 (Roadrunner) without changing every belt and pulley on the whole motor.
On an A/C car the alternator shares a belt (two actually) with the A/C compressor. If...
OK. So I took out my 1970 RR Rally (Rallye) gauge cluster to repair the bad dimmer and replace the bulbs. This went well. I reinstalled the cluster and hooked everything back up, including the "Alternator" gauge, which was connected but not working when I removed the panel in the first place...
Hey guys,
I'm new on here, and I'm sure the answer to my question is somewhere, but I can't find it!
I am trying to remove the Rallye Gauge panel from my 1970 Roadrunner (383 Column shift auto) in order to repair/replace the dimmer switch (I have no gauge lights unless I just the fuse -...
