Is the OEM front shock tower bushing with the metal insert necessary, or will the 2-piece bushings that come with replacement shocks do the job? I don't want to end up wallowing out a shock tower, but I don't feel like ordering reproductions and waiting around for shipping either, so that's why...

Thinking about putting original 383 back in my RR at some point. If somehow the crankshafts got switched around, but it's still a vintage 383 crank, do I still get to say it's the original motor if I do? Or do I have to use the original crank, which is being used in another motor right now...

I like the bench seat in my RR, but it looks its age and I need to stop sitting on springs at some point. I will need to take it out and work on it. I was thinking about what I could use in the meantime while I work on the bench. I want to use those plastic seats from Summit because I kind...

Hai. This is how I sealed the header collectors on my beat up old Road Runner. You need two sets of gaskets and two extra flanges for a pair of headers. You need a set of lock washers and maybe some longer bolts. Connect like so: collector flange/gasket/extra flange/gasket/reducer...

I bought these at Walmart for $15.00/pair to experiment with. They were plug and play in my 68 RR. They are just a little bit brighter than the incandescent. Turn signal acts normally and does not hyper-flash. They are a little different shade of red through the lenses because LEDs have...

68 RR, manual brakes, 4 drums. Master cylinder is divided into Front and Rear, which go into distribution block. Can't get brake fluid to the rear drums unless I open all four corners, and then it comes from the Front section of the master. Right now, pedal is firm, I just have front...

For 68 RR with 383 4 spd, factory pattern cam, pistons with original HP compression height, 902 open chamber heads, no cutting or milling, blue Fel Pro head gasket, I get around 150 psi cranking compression cold with the throttle open. I always just tuned it by the book and set the initial at...

I have vintage original valve springs on my 383 RR. They checked okay in 1989. Think it's time to retire them? What I have on hand is Melling VS430 (crossover Sealed Power VS675, Elgin RV891X, P4286812. That's what the Melling catalog said to use with 383 HP cam, which is what I have...

Too much positive camber in 68 RR. Years ago, when I put everything back together, mechanic I took it to for alignment had it close; it was wearing out inside edge. Later, I took it to place that had old Bear alignment equipment to see if they could adjust that out. They went too far...

Which are decent OEM-type rubber motor and transmission mounts? I used an Anchor transmission mount my RR, but I am hearing bad things. The other choices are DEA and Westar. What's something that will act about like original without spending $100 on a block of rubber and steel? I don't...

Can a camshaft be reground to a lesser profile without changing base circle? Example: I have Isky 270 Mega cam sitting around. Used it for a little while a long time ago. Sounds tuff but is a little too much for what I want to do. Could it be reground to a 262 Super cam? Isky 270 Mega...

We all know about the 68-71 383 HP and what it will do, but what about the 383 4V with the lesser camshaft? Was it pretty docile and lazy and or did it have a mean streak? If you have driven both of these in orginal configuration, what do you think?

Have you gone back to exhaust manifolds from headers? Any regets? I don't race. I just chug around and go here and there in a junky 383 RR. Thanks.

Will the HP manifolds from a 71-72 Roadrunner with 400 or 440 work 69 RR with 383? 68 has power steering and 4 spd. I know they will bolt on, but will the flanges be clocked the right way? The reason I ask is when headers that are on there finally rust through, I may just cut them off and...

It is considered lame now? I use it. It kind of took all the guesswork out of everything and I think it does what it's supposed to do without a lot of drama. Lots of different companies had it in their catalog, but they were probably all made by Engine Power Components...

Took the RR out for a little ride. Clutch is saturated and slipping. It's 1968 383 factory 4-spd; no clone, no conversion (however beat up). I need a factory-type OE clutch kit. It's been a long time. Do I need 11-inch, 1x23 spline disk and pressure plate? Looked around on the web some...

Thinking about 4 new steel wheels for my 68 RR: 15x8, 5x4.5, 4.5 BS rear 15x7, 5x4.5, 4 BS front My RR is really beat up. It was already an old car when I got it, and I've had it a long time. I'm surprised it's never appeared in one of these abandoned Mopar threads or web sites, but it...
