1969 RR 383 with classic auto air. I bought an idler solenoid because when I turn my air conditioner on, the idle goes down. Do I wire this to the wire going to the compressor? It says to wire it to a switched 12v but I only want it to go on when the air is on?
Thanks!
Finished the Classic Auto Air install and finally got it charged today. What a great decision, works really well, I think its better than Vintage Air because you don't have to route the hoses in the fender. I'm real glad I didn't go with that choice. I'll need to get an idler solenoid but that's...
Well, after some testing, how-to on this forum, I solved my overcharging problem. My 69 RR 383 4 speed was getting 14.5v idling and over 15v 3000rpm. With the testing I saw my FLD wire getting 11.5v which would explained the overcharging. I tried two regulators and received the same thing. I...
I posted this in electrical but didn't get much response, trying here.
Having a little overcharging problem, 69 RR 383 4 speed, all new wiring for the whole car with the MAD wiring. At idle I get 14.4v to 14.5v on Dakota Digital gauges (matches volt meter at battery), when revved to 4000rpm I...
Hey Guys,
Having a little overcharging problem, 69 RR 383 4 speed, all new wiring for the whole car with the MAD wiring. At idle I get 14.4v to 14.5v on Dakota Digital gauges (matches volt meter at battery), when revved to 4000rpm I get 14.9v to 15v. Also I had a 95amp powermaster alt (duel...
Hey guys, I have a 69 RR 383 4 speed with electronic pertronix distributor. I read here on the forum that the SS voltage regulator I have all run above 15v so I would like to replace it with an electronic voltage regulator which runs between 14.1v and 14.5v. I found the regulator and connector...
Hey Guys,
I worked on my 69 RR 383 4 speed this weekend. The car was running great before the work. I replaced the water pump and alternator. Got everything connected back up and went to start it and got a click the dakota digital dash blinked and then no power. I have the MAD wiring for info...
Hey all!
I took the roadrunner out for a long drive and this happened a couple of times. I was going about 50 mph and it started bucking, it did it twice then was OK. I got to where I was going and came back and at about 30 mph it bucked 3 times. This has never happened before and was...
Changing the seal right now its a 383 and it looks like the engine builder used silicone where the seal goes into the block. I got the seal out but I don't know if there is any residue RTV up there, is there anything I can put through there to make sure its clean? I looked as far as I could and...
I was having problems with my brakes when I switched to power disc front and drum back on my 69 RR just like a lot of people on this forum that I read about. My pedal kept going to the floor and I would come to a long rolling stop. I did everything to try and fix this, bled the lines at least 10...
Has anyone bought the wilwood master cylinder made for a mopar, part number 260-16793-BK? If so does the lid leak any? I'm sick of buying these cheap MC and having them leak so I want to buy a good quality one like wilwood. Have you have any other problems? How's the breaking? Did you have any...
Hey Guys, I have Wilwood brake calipers on the front of my 69 RR. They have bleeders at the top on each side of the caliper, when bleeding, do I have to bleed both sides?
Thanks!
It was a beautiful day out today so the wife and I took the Roadrunner out for a ride. Just about done restoring her, just need to do a few more things here and there.
Hey Guys, I have a 69 RR 383 4 speed that originally had manual brakes. I switched to power brakes with a Bendix booster from pirate jacks. When I installed the booster the rod that goes to the brake pedal was too short to reach the brake switch. I had the rod lengthened and that worked. My...
Hey Guys, I found a place that actually has the dakota digital RTX-68D-STD-X in stock. They only had 2 and I bought one, they have one left. If you want one go to www.affordablestreetrods.com and get it. Everyone I searched for had a 6 month wait time to get it except this place. I called to...
Well it looks like I blew the gauges in my instrument cluster so I will need to get a new one. I can get a newly restored one for $1200 or wait about 6 months (backlogged 6 months) and get the dakota digital cluster for $1800. I don't want to send mine out to get restored because the car will be...
1969 RR 383 4 speed. OK so I had another thread explaining I lost my fuel and temp gauge, everyone said possibly the voltage regulator so I ordered a new one. I received it and took the old one out but I didn't see where a black wire with an L shaped end went. Does this black wire plug in with...
