    Fan issue has me scratching my head

    I am a bit at a loss. I wired in a new fan, relay and controller. This is a Spal fan. I had just recently wired in a FlexALite fan. It worked, but didn’t pull enough air, so out with the FlexALite and in with the Spal. Here’s where I start scratching my head. My input is 12v on the trigger...

    Wiring an electric fan. I am a novice with electrical

    This will be a really basic question for most.. I am a novice on electrical. I am getting ready to install an electric fan. Ground is not an issue. I have that figured out. On the picture I attached, where is the best place to connect the positive for a switched connection? The fan it will be...

    Fuel starvation issue?

    I recently woke up my RR after its winters nap. Before I parked it, I put Sta-Bil in the tank and filled it up. I did do some work on it this winter, but nothing to do with ignition or fuel. It ran really well before I parked it. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. It took a bit of cranking to get...

    22 inch radiator question

    I recently bought an aftermarket radiator for my '69 Roadrunner 383 automatic. The previous owner put the wrong radiator in it and made his own transmission cooler lines. I busted one taking it out. I bought new OEM lines and they won't line up with the radiator. I am looking for a correct...

    Fan to radiator clearance question

    I just installed a new clutch fan in my RR.. It is a 1969 with a 22" radiator and no shroud. It has about 1/2"-3/4" clearance between the front of the clutch and the radiator. I think I am safe, but wanted to check with those more knowledgable than me.

    1969 Roadrunner radiator

    Hi, Kind of an odd request.. My radiator gave out this weekend and I am trying to replace it. The problem is, mine seems to be an oddball (I am not confident it is the right one in it currently).. If yours is correct, can you post a picture? My inlet is near the center on the passenger side...

    Fitment question on 1969 RR 383

    Hi, I am getting ready to install a Performer RPM intake on my 383. I am running the Mopar 13" round air cleaner. I have a base that will drop it .625". Has anyone run the RPM on the 383? If so, was there a clearance issue I should account for up front? It has the stock non-air grabber hood. It...

    Tachometer mount ideas

    Hi, I have a 1969 RR with an automatic. I am looking for a way to mount a tach without drilling the dash. I thought about the in-dash route, but really would prefer an aftermarket tach. I believe the dash pad to be original, so I really don't want to drill it and the shifter on the column...

    Installing an in-dash tach

    I am looking to install a tach in the dash on my '69 RR. It does not currently have one, just the blank space. My question is; can this be done without taking the entire dash out? I am not really seeing an easy way to do this. Has anyone done this? Thanks for your time.

    Seems fuel related?

    I am having an odd problem.. I have a 383 with an Eddy 600. It took a while over the winter, but finally got it running really well. It ran well for the past couple of months. Then earlier today, I took it for a drive and it started to hesitate a bit. But generally ran okay. I parked it and let...

    Wiring Redondo radio

    Hi, I am replacing my original AM radio with the Redondo radio from RetroSound. I am wondering if anyone has done this. The instructions say I need a 12v constant and a 12v ignition power source. Near as I can tell, the original only has 12v ignition. When I metered the second wire to the...

    Suregrip replacement question

    Hi, I have a 3.23 suregrip with a 742 case.. The clutches sound like they are going bad. When I turn corners, I get a bind and an audible grind that goes away when I straighten out. Is the suregrip unit replaceable with just hand tools and a torque wrench? I don't have a lot of special tools.

    If it sounds too good to be true...

    I figured I would save someone some time. There is an ad on carsforsale.com listing a 1970 Roadrunner for $2500. It is here, if you want to see it.. Anyway, since this is listed in Occoquan, VA, and only about 5 minutes from me... I figured I would check it out. At the very least, it could be a...

    Hopefully an easy Edelbrock question

    It has been a long time since I have had to work with a carb, so please keep that in mind... I have a '69 RR with what seems to be a stock/mild 383. It still has the stock intake and exhaust on it. I have no history on the car. I bought it through a dealer who had little documentation. When I...

    Hopefully easy question about Edelbrock Performer 383 intake

    Hi, I recently got my '69 RR 383 and it had an Edelbrock 1407 (750 CFM) carb on it with stock intake. The issue is, I get a whistle off idle and vacuum leak. I have researched this down to an adapter/gasket issue with that carb and intake combo. I am looking to replace the intake and have what I...
