    Where to start on my seats?

    I found that the “zig zag” thicker sections of Mopar seat springs are still available as “couch replacement springs” on EBay…damn near identical & available in different lengths. You may need to “de-arch” the new repair springs (by hand) a little bit

    Seat adjustment.

    These guys are onto something. Is that the PASSENGER seat? If not, the seat tracks are on the wrong side(s). The wire goes through the “folded metal strip” & that strip attaches to the front “hook” on the seat frame & the adjuster goes towards the door (left side of seat for driver & right side...

    Scan tool won't show codes unless the check engine light is on???

    Some codes are stored (“hard codes”), other codes are only readable when the light is on (“soft codes”). Most CEL codes “self-clear” (“soft codes”) after the problem is fixed

    1970 Roadrunner Bench Seat Shifter - Other Options?

    Maybe modify the linkage itself by drilling holes higher up on each shift lever? You’d have to double check that you have enough threads on the shifter rods & possible extend the threads further on them (?)

    Keep it IMO

    1972 Dodge Charger SE, Six Pack question

    Don’t freak out. I used to have a six pack air cleaner that was cut to clear a factory a/c compressor. If you cut the “skirt” of the base all the way up to the edge of the filter in that area, it will fit. OR, as mentioned, switch to a Sanden compressor which is much smaller

    Difference between 1069 Cornett 440 and Super Bee?

    I think you nailed it

    Ballast Resistor on our 69 GTX - Requesting Feedback

    It has resistance, so it’s good….but still carry a spare in your trunk. Someone else might know what the specific resistance “should” be

    Trick to separate steering column shaft?

    You need it shorter, so maybe the inner shaft just bottomed out on something inside the upper half?

    70 GTX REAR TRIM QUESTION

    Double check your clips. They should fit. There are more than 2 holes along the trunk for the trim

    Has Plum Crazy been over done

    I don’t think plum crazy was available until 1970

    Six pack scoop help

    The aftermarket scoop you're looking at is 4-1/4" tall....it's only the opening that's 3-1/2". The six pack scoop looks "cool", but per your scoop rules & for the purpose of cooling the engine, a very tall cowl induction type scoop (hole facing the windshield) would be best IMO.

    Brake Booster/MC Replacement Q’s

    I’ve seen 3 different, power front disc brake, mater cylinders for 1970 Plymouth Road Runners. All 3 look about the same depth, but one is more narrow than the other two. The “wider” ones (2) are shown in the 1970 master cylinder video. As the video describes it, my car came with the wider...

    Brake Booster/MC Replacement Q’s

    I used this from Pirate Jack’s and have had good luck with it. My ‘70 came power front disc originally & I used this booster when the original one started leaking. I had to open up the firewall hole about 1mm (the Pirate Jack one has a slightly larger diameter than the original) and I think I...

    Question for you convertible guys with resto experience

    Yes. All there was originally is some thin (1/8” or so) foam with adhesive on the body side only (no adhesive facing the trim)

    1970 steering column

    Your column has collapsed. Slide out the inner section, drill/tap a 1/8” hole through both inner/outer sections & run a plastic bolt (plumbing supply hardware) and trim off excess on both sides…done
