    Tor Red vs. Hemi Orange

    I know Tor Red (V2 Plymouth) and Hemi Orange (EV2 Dodge) were one and the same color back in the day, but are they still the exact same color with modern paint manufacturers? I'm not talking about the "new" Hemi Orange (2008 and up). But if I want a little Tor Red touchup, and the local paint...

    How much ball joint vertical play is tolerable?

    When I do the 12 o'clock/6 o'clock test on my right front tire (car jacked up, suspension unloaded), I'm getting a little wiggle. Maybe an 1/8 inch in and out (it's really hard to tell). When I use a big crow bar under the tire, I am getting less movement, but still a little bit. I know there is...

    What size fuse for battery shutoff trickle wire?

    I have a battery shutoff switch with a fused wire, so I don't lose my radio settings every time I switch off the battery. I have a 20A fuse in there, but it blew (which happens when I turn on the ignition and forget to turn on the negative battery switch). Of course, I have a bunch of buss...

    Drain hole clearing

    How do I clean/access a drain hole passage? The front right drain hole along the rocker panel on my 72 Roadrunner is clogged/closed. I was checking the other five drain holes and I was able to easily run a coat hanger up at least 12-18 inches on all of them. I pulled the quarter panel extension...

    Ignition switch mystery black wire

    I'm installing a new ignition switch on a 72 RR and I've seen multiple places that if you install it as is, the small black wire on the new switch (that is supposed to illuminate the gear selector) is actually a ground and will cause fuses to blow. Is this true? I have a console shift. How do I...

    Hey guys. 1972 RR with 340 and mopar electronic ignition (blue box) and MSD coil. Long story short, I have a MSD Blaster 2 coil that has served me perfectly for nearly 30 years. Two days ago, I decided to install a Blaster SS coil that I bought on sale that had sat on my work bench for two...

    Radiator hose blows off thermostat housing

    I was driving my 72 340 RR today and all of a sudden I could smell antifreeze. I saw my temp gauge was starting to rise -- it never runs anywhere near hot -- so I pulled over, stopped the car and saw steam coming from under the hood. The upper radiator hose had blown off the thermostat housing...

    Battery not charging

    Hello, before I yank my alternator and take it to some box auto parts store to be tested, here is the scenario My battery is only charging at 12.7 when running at increased RPM. The battery is good and will hold a charge. I am getting "same as battery" voltage at the alternator stud (high 12s)...

    Intermittent squealing

    So, I started up the 340 today and got a horrible squealing sound from the front of the motor. Sounded like bad/loose belts on steroids or the water pump was about to explode. It went away in about 10-15 seconds before I could pinpoint it. I drove around and got the same squealing -- but not...

    Which side of fuse box is protected?

    I am running a couple of glass fuse taps to power my aftermarket gauge/tach, and I want to make sure I haven't bypassed the fuses. Which side of the fuse should the taps go to make sure I don't have an unprotected circuit? (Fuse box is internet photo, but same one I have). Thanks

    Overcharging battery -- almost there

    I have been chasing an overcharge on my 72 340 RR for a while. Got lots of help from you guys but I'm now officially stumped. I was charging at 15.5 at idle and had 1.50 voltage drop from battery positive to blue alternator wire. I got it down to 14.95 and 0.9 drop after cleaning and going...

    Overcharging battery -- still

    I have been chasing this overcharge for a while, and you guys have helped keep me pointed in right direction. Thank you. But I'm still too high, and electronics is definitely my weak link so please bear with me. 72 340 RR I'm charging at about 15.25V. I get 1.5 voltage drop from battery + to...

    Front suspension wiggle

    I'm not sure about this, but how much wiggle is tolerable when you jack up front end, grab a tire at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock and shake? I know newer front-wheel drive cars shouldn't budge. With these 50-year old cars is any movement bad or is a little movement OK? Car is a 72 RR. Tires wear...

    Battery overcharging 15.3-15.6V

    My battery is charging at 15.3 to 15.6 depending on rpms. I am a newbie to electronics and some of you guys are brilliant. I need help. I did research on site and ran some tests. I unhooked the field wires at the alternator and battery did not charge (I believe that means alternator is good). I...

    727 band adjustment

    Hello all. I am adjusting my kickdown band and rear band on my small block 727. This is the first time I've ever done this. Tranny is dated coded 1972. Tranny operates nicely (and fluid looked perfect) except right now I don't believe I have any kickdown at all (and yes my kickdown lever is...
