    Spark Plug Recomendation

    I am helping a friend get his '66 Belvidere tuned up. I am trying to find Autolite 84 spark plugs, and no one seems to have them anymore. The engine is a steel-headed 440. Any suggestions on a good replacement? Thanks in advance.

    '62 or '63 with cable drive tach

    Working on installing a Jones-Moroso tach in our '63 N/SS car. It's long overdue. Does anyone have photos of one of these cars with the tach mounted to the dash? The '62 and '63 Dodges and Plymouths had a shorter distance from the dash to the window than later cars. The tach I have has a...

    Jones/Moroso Mechanical Tach Cable

    I recently purchased a Jones/Moroso Mechanical Tach for our N/SS car. I already have the distributor, but am really struggling to find a 6 foot long cable that has the square, female end for the tach as well as the Mopar ignition end on the other side. I saw an older post in the archives...

    69 Road Runner Headlight Rocker Switch

    Having issues with the headlights blinking on and off in my '69 road runner. I replaced the pigtail and the dimmer switch on the floor. I ordered a replacement switch from Rock Auto, but it isn't correct for my car. This car has a chrome, rocker switch. It is not connected to the interior...

    Performance Ignition Advice...Accell?

    Good day. My '69 RR uses a Mopar Performance distributor and a chrome ECU box. Had it on the car for years. RB based 496 inch engine runs mid-to-low 11's. Lately I've been burning up rotors. The car won't pull past 116 MPH. It used to turn 122 MPH. I noticed Mancini and others offer...

    Optima Battery Question

    We have run an Optima Battery in our '63 Max Wedge Plymouth for years. In fact, originally we ran a red top, and currently a yellow top. The car is 12.2:1 compression. The yellow top we currently run seems to need a charge after every pass. The battery will bleed down to 25% life after a...

    Convertible Installation in Southeast PA.

    I'm looking for a shop to install a convertible top on our '64 Fury. I live near Philadelphia, PA. I've had zero luck finding a shop to do the work. I already own the rubber gaskets from Steele that seal the top to the windshield bow. I also own two, original tops with all the bows and...

    Dual Point gap setting??

    I'm working on an old, Chrysler dual point distributor. It's been in our '64 Fury Convertible street car for some time. I want to replace the points, condenser, cap, and rotor. I've never worked with points in the past. Can you tell me what the gap should be? I've heard a number of...

    Yukon Axles...who runs them

    This thread is not to thrash a vendor, but rather to see if others have the same issue, and hopefully to prevent someone else from having the same problem. We had a pair of 8 3//4" Yukon Axles in our '69 Road Runner. Two weeks ago my son broke one in half at the starting line. When removed...

    First Round Win...and goes to the semi's

    Last Saturday, my 17-year old son raced my Road Runner, street car at Cecil. It was his second time competing in an actual race. We headed to Cecil Co and he double entered. He ran 11.50 Index as well as Pro Dial. Both classes ran a .500 Pro Tree, which he had never run before. We had a...

    Convertible Top Parts

    This has likely been covered, but finding it is tough... I'm working on getting a new top for my '64 fury 'vert. The local guy doesn't want to do it because he doesn't think he can find the seals and "fuzzies". Those are the most important for me to find at this time, but boot covers, tops...

    Max Wedge Throttle Linkage Help Needed

    Looking for help setting up the cross-ram linkage on our '63 Max Wedge Plymouth. Took the car apart to have the heads freshened up and am having trouble getting wide open throttle. I used the drill bit through the linkage and into the intake to get a starting point. Seems I can't get WOT...

    Thought this might be an interesting thread. I am putting a '64 Fury together for my son. It's a 'vert. I've been looking for photos of similar cars for fun. Anyone have some good pics of convertibles doing their thing? This one's a 440-4 speed. Street/Strip.

    High End Miss...5/7 interference?

    OK...been tracking a high end miss on FRUSTRATION's 426 MW engine. We run a MSD Pro Billet Distributor with an MSD 6AL. I run Autolite R72 plugs gapped to .035 and 38 degrees of timing that's locked in. We've run this combo for more than 20 years with no real issues. Last year the car...

    Tire Bulge

    I recently found a pair of polished Super Tricks in 15 x 10". I'm planning to put 29.5 x 9 x 15" MT Bias Ply Slicks on them. My question is... What will the overall width of the tire be like moving from a 10" wheel to an 8" wheel. With the 8", the tire has a pretty good bulge in the...

    Cooling our early B's

    I am running a radiator with no clutch fan, nor shroud in my '64 'vert. It runs fine, even in the heat while moving. If I stop at a light or to park in a lot, the temp steadily climbs to over 220 degrees. It's a 22" radiator that's been professionally flushed and cleaned. There is no room...

    Wiper removal on 64 Fury

    Please advise me on how to remove the driver's side wiper from my '64 Fury. It's clocked wrong, and needs to rest closer to the cowl. Am I missing a clip somewhere, or do I simply need more force? The wipers have been on this car since new. They could very well be rusted/fretted to the...
