Hi Guys,
Back at the car again after giving it a rest for a Good while. I thought I’d get a couple of jobs done while self isolating and ordered some parts.
among the parts I got some strut rod bushes. I checked a couple of sites and all List the energy suspension 57109 for my year, I checked...
Hi all,
I had an issue with my car the last time I had it out, it started pinging. I'd set the timing up well over a year before after fitting a Petronix Ready to Run distributor.
Anyway I pulled over about a mile from home and backed the timing off and this seemed to help. I just completed...
Hi all, hope your all doing ok.
Got my steering column out tonight and had a look at the coupler. The old shoe string broke contributing to my excessive play.
Any ways the new shoe have some play on the old pin espescially on one side. I got a new pin in the kit but it’s seems very hard to...
So retaining ring on my steering box wouldn’t budge to do the rebuild today. They where crazy tight, So I made myself this out of some scrap lying around.
Fits both retaining rings and works a treat.
Pardon the welds and poor prep. Was a quick solution and ran low on welding gas.
Hi All,
I’m in need of some advice on removal of the box from my 74 Roadrunner.
I can’t get at the bolt on the outer left side of the steering box.
The gear appears too close the the k frame and I can’t get anything onto it from the front. While I loosen the back, I can bearly touch it with...
Ok guys so while the box was out and exhaust off I decided to throw the left engine mount a bought a while ago onto the car.
My car is a 74 with a 383 and a833 trans. It left the factory with a 318 with 3 speed manual.
The mount that was on the car was longer. I thought the bush had slipped...
Just pulled the gearbox on the car. There was a leek between the box and bell housing.
Is there usually much play on the input shaft when out
Looks like someone filled the shaft where the seal goes and where the pilot bearing goes.
Pilot bearing looks bent out of shape and has been doused in...
Ok guys I have a weep from input shaft on tranny that’s getting worse, been on the to do list for a while now and want to get it done.
I had a quick look under tonight to see what’s involved. Question is, the manual says remove the torsion bars, but it looks like they can stay in place. Do they...
Ok I rebuild the pump and fit a new hoses....
Filled with steering fluid and started car and as soon as I went to steer there was a brief noise and no power steering. Topped up and steered left to right to bleed and nothing.
Pulled the pressure pipe at the box and the pump is pumping fluid...
I have a Federal and was looking at seal kits Rock Auto and they only list Saginaw or Chrysler. So are the TRW and Federal both Chrysler and do they share the seal kits?
Hi, I’m putting a tank in my Roadrunner. The old tank was from a different car botched and made to fit. No vent lines, though the filler neck grommet was leaking.
Anyway new tank has the 4 vent lines at the rear. My vapour collector is there but the line is cut near the front no vapour...
Just took the car for a run today to a show. I rarely drive it hard but decided to open the throttle on the way back after filling up
Afterward I let up she was pinking for a min, I took it easy and it went away. Thought maybe it could of been exhaust gasket but it seems to have gone away so...
Ok, first off thanks to all who answered my queries on the rear leaf bushes, hangers etc.
Got my springs rearched and new bushes and shackles. Now that the back is up. I'm thinking of dropping the front a little. Any considerations I should be aware of when doing this??
All opinions on this...
Ok guys I'm bringing the springs to specialist tomorrow. He said he may be able to source bushes but I'm thi gong of ordering poly bushes off rock auto.
The manual I have shows an oval bush in front and rock auto shows avail too. However mine are round, could the springs be from and earlier...
when I was pulling the springs last night and goin through the manual. I thought; hey I don't have one of those!!!
Was a sway bar a standard fitment? There is no signs of any components for it or mounting points on the axle.
I just pulled the rear leafs from my RR and am going to sent them off to be rearched and maybe leaf added (Far cheaper than trying to get new ones shipped from the US)
Anyways the shackels had been replaced with flat bar and I want to get some originals and some bushes.
Couple questions.
1...
Just sold my bike yesterday and and thinking of my options.
1. Buy another bike?
2. Get Fuel Tank and Steering Box (firm feel or Borgeson) for the Roadrunner.
3. Get a lift for the garage.
I'm looking for advice one no 3. My garage isn't too big I don't want to have a 2post as the posts will...
Quick one for someone
I got advance limiters with a Pertronix billet dissy and the paperwork says they are 12*, 16* and 20* denoted by colour, there is no colours on any of my limiters they are stamped with no's 8, 9 and 10.
Can anyone confirm if the no's are corespond the the advance in same...
Any reason why I can't use a flame thrower 3 coil with a ready to run dissy that has an ignitor 2 module.
I got the new coil and it says not to use with ignitor one or two modules, is this marketing or is there a technical reason why it shouldn't be used??
