Old cars with modern engines and electronics shouldn't have to deal with gas smells. What I do is run the tank vent lines to a charcoal canister with a vent valve (can be integral or separate). I use a purge solenoid connected to the Holley ECM to activate the valve for a set time on startup...

Just wanted to follow up on this post with a happy ending. Car is sold, and the new owner (who would like to remain anonymous at this point) is very happy. He flew down and drove it home over a 1000 miles! Said it rode and drove better than his newer Corvette. Said his only issue with it is...

Too many unknowns to estimate, it's by the hour...and it takes hundreds and hundreds!

I initially thought the selling price was a touch optimistic, but if a stock RR with an upgraded, bolt on suspension and Gen 3 Hemi is selling for 125K, I might be wrong. These two cars couldn't be more different.

The owner sent me a link a few days ago. It looks like he has put the car on consignment with StreetSide Classics. https://www.streetsideclassics.com/vehicles/3199-tpa/1970-plymouth-road-runner-pro-touring

I believe this car is for sale now. The owner has driven it about two miles around his block, that's it! Said his interest has changed from cars. If anyone is interested, I'll put you in touch with the owner. Only serious inquires please, and realize he's not giving it away! I drove this...

The water pump doesn't have the HP draw that some of the other accessories have, so doesn't require as much belt wrap to prevent slipping. Mine has 126* of contact. The biggest issue's I see in aftermarket setups is lack of wrap on the alternator (I have 180*), and lack of power steering wrap...

It’s over 120* of wrap, should be plenty. My high draw accessories, P/S and Alt have huge wrap!

I built my own because of no other option.

SB Mopar motor plate/timing cover. Still waiting on a few pieces to be made.

Thanks. The late model Nag trans overdrive is only a .83. I rounded that previous number. Was actually closer to 3250 rpm. Im now 2600rpm @ 80 mph.

Finally able to do some road testing. My first impression is how incredibly tight the car is. Absolutely zero chassis flex. I work on the late model cars daily, and this one rides and handles at least as good, but seems to be better. Bumps, rail road tracks, etc are firm yet subtle, if that...

Moved the exhaust tips up and angled the pipe to follow the contour of the lower quarter.

So the last few details getting done. I had originally planned to mount the blinker/blindspot cameras in the side mirror glass. Good idea, but the angle was wrong and couldn't get it where it was a useful image. Plan B. Found these little LED blinkers: I gutted and milled out the inside...

Hellcat throttle body adapter:

Yep. Well not me, the customer. I wanted nothing to do with that part! More than doubled his quote. He would drag it out billing 5K at a time and saying he was almost done. Kept doing that without really doing much work. When he hit the 15K mark and seeing what was done, I tried really...

I want to take a few minutes and vent. I want everyone to know just how poor of a job Tom Argue Designs (http://tomarguedesign.com) did on the body work and paint. He quoted to replace the right rear quarter, gap and fit panels, and paint the car. The corners cut and poor workmanship as made...

Not a fan of 20's on muscle cars. 18"s all around. 9.5" up front and 10" in the rear.

No box or filter. The owner wanted the cowl vents removed, so no place to actually pull fresh air from anyway. The opening is present on the firewall (screened), but without the box to direct it to the cowl, it simply pulls air from the engine compartment. Not a big deal, in Florida we keep...
