    Whats everybody using in there solvent tank

    Finally decided on Tractor Supply " Parts Cleaner" , it's cheaper than mineral spirits which is what I'm told most parts cleaner is. Works very well and doesn't evaporate as much as the mineral spirits I had been using, which is a big plus in AZ. Alan

    383 pulley question

    Thanks Bob and everyone else for that matter for all the education. I have the thermal clutch with the bi-metal spring on the car now so I'll probably give Mancini Racing a call to confirm the Hemi pulley they offer will fit and align correctly. Thanks again Alan

    383 pulley question

    I have a 22" radiator which has just been recored with a 3 row high efficiency core, factory fan shroud, high flow 160 degree thermostat. On a nice cool 85 degree day the factory gauge will run about 1/3 and my laser says approx 170 degrees @ radiator top. As for the same pulleys being used on...

    383 pulley question

    Most of the year my RR runs nice and cool, but here in Tucson AZ we can see upwards of 108 degrees from June to October .I have a mile long road between my house and the main road that is closer to the lunar surface than real road. On 100+ degree days after a cruise, the trip from the REAL road...

    383 pulley question

    OK, I guess I wasn't clear what I'm looking for. I have single groove pulleys because of no AC or p/steering, but I swapped out my fixed blade fan for a clutch fan set up. I now know that the factory clutch fan assembly took a smaller diameter water pump pulley to spin the pump faster which I...

    383 pulley question

    Is the pulley alignment correct with the six cylinder pulley. Sounds like an interesting idea. Do you remember the diameter by any chance?

    383 pulley question

    Thank you Bob, that's the part number I came up with from the assembly manual, but is it a one or two groove pulley? Anyone know where to locate one ? Repo? A Google search didn't produce many results .I do have the Moroso " High Flow" water pump already. It's mainly low speed driving in 100+...

    383 pulley question

    I have a non optioned 1969 Road Runner ( manual steering and brakes, no A/C ). I recently installed a factory style clutch fan hoping to aid with the Arizona summer heat. It didn't help a whole lot and that got me thinking about pulley sizes so I search my assembly manual and it looks like...

    Correct Brake Hardware ?

    Just an update, the Dorman H24717 rear brake hose came in early and I'm happy to report it is a perfect match for the original hose. Got me to thinking it would be nice to have a section here were replacement part numbers could be listed for quick reference. Thanks again to everyone for the help.

    Correct Brake Hardware ?

    OK, here's what I have as of now. The NAPA # 80503 worked perfectly for the lower return spring even though it is slightly smaller in diameter ( .060"), I'm sure it'll work just fine. Also needed the parking brake strut spring which was also broken and not in the normal hardware kit .I found a...

    Thanks guys, I have a Dorman H24717 hose on order, we'll see what it looks like and I'll report Alan

    Correct Brake Hardware ?

    Yeah, even with the extension, it has plenty of room to move suprisingly. I really wouldn't run it just cause it's obviously not the right hose, but if I needed to get to work the next day I believe I might...:steering:

    Correct Brake Hardware ?

    Just a FYI, In a pinch, the front drum brake hose will work ( has the correct ends) on the rear, but I just couldn't do it...lol

    Correct Brake Hardware ?

    OK, just ordered from Napa online and it's supposed to be in by Thursday, we'll see. Thank you Fran and everyone else. Hopefully the rear brake hose I ordered today also will be correct, as the first one I got from O'Reillys had two 3/8" ends while I need one 3/8" and one 7/16". Guess it's a lot...

    Correct Brake Hardware ?

    No, tried all the local and online auto parts places. Everybody does the same, looks at the computor and says this one is the one and it's always w/self adjusters. I try to explain about RR having the Police/Taxi brakes without self adjusters and I just get that deer in the headlight look or...

    Correct Brake Hardware ?

    Can anyone tell me where to locate the CORRECT brake hardware set for a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with the factory 11" non self-adjusting rear brakes? I found a broken lower spring upon inspection, but all I keep finding is 11" brake hardware with self-adjusters. Any help would be appreciated...

    New clutch

    I just went thru this with my 69 RR. I just wanted a nice replacement clutch for street driving so I decided to purchase an O'Reilly's diaphram " Replacement" clutch/pressure plate . I had to remove the big under dash spring also. After having the flywheel resurfaced I had such a chatter problem...

    TCI shifter cable melt down

    Just a thought, have you checked your negative ground cable for resistance? Remember mustang gt guys eating multiple clutch cables because of moving the battery to the trunk and the clutch cable was the best connection back to the battery. Easy enough to check.
