Hey Guys, I have a 1970 RR with factory air. I am running a Sanden compressor but inside of the car the HVAC unit is totally factory. I don't have the water hoses hooked up for the heater, so I either have AC or "nothing". I don't have any of the vacuum hoses connected in the engine bay and...

Hey guys I'm looking for some help from anyone who is familiar with "later" model SMOG engine Mopars. I have a chance to buy a one-owner 1985 Dodge Ramcharger, 318 Small Block with a 2bbl carb, California SMOG motor. The truck is in pretty good shape cosmetically with 164,000 miles, no rust...

Ok engine builders - Can you help me understand how this happened so I can keep it from happening again? I hadn't run the car in about a month and a half. I started it up in the driveway, warmed up for a minute and drove about a mile to the freeway on ramp. I got on the freeway and everything...

Hey Guys, Last Thursday I was out at Willow Springs with the Spring Fling crowd. I did a couple of morning sessions on the racetrack with the group and the car performed great. Then I went out for the High Noon drag races, and had a good time there too. Eventually lost a drag race to a...

Hey guys, Has anyone ever tried to install a harness bar in a b body without a full roll cage? I'm looking at the new removable harness bar made by Chris Alston chassis works. It actually mounts to what I would call the B pillar behind the door and below the passenger window just behind the...

Gents, I am continuing to struggle with an engine which is slightly out of linear alignment with the car. It is rotated to the left, or counterclockwise from the top, in the engine bay such that the tailshaft housing of the transmission is toward the right side of the trans tunnel. I am...

Guys I have a gas tank for a 1970 Roadrunner. It was purchased new in 2011 and installed in the car, painted black. I just replaced it with an aluminum tank. It is the "California" tank with four vent outlets on the passenger side - use 'em or plug 'em if you don't need. I covered the top of...

Guys I'm stumped! This has occasionally happened to me on this project and I've always found someone to rescue me. Project car is my 1970 Roadrunner with a carbureted 493 stroker. Carb is a Quickfuel 850. Basically a Holley Double Pumper. You guys know the car. I have a brand new...

Hey Gents, I am looking for a front spoiler / air dam for my 1970 Roadrunner road-race car. I'm looking for the AAR / NASCAR-type look, and the best stuff I have found is manufactured by a company called Spoilers by Randy. The only problem is that he makes them only for the 68 and 69 cars...

Guys I put more details in my "80 Grit" thread, but when installing a new Gear Vendor tailshaft housing this weekend it became clear that the housing was not centered in the driveshaft tunnel. This photo shows the factory tailshaft housing, but unfortunately it's not a very good angle to see if...

Gents, I have oil leaking from an intake manifold bolt on the driver's side of my 440. It is one of the middle bolts, basically under the throttle cable connection to the carb. I know it's hard to see in the pictures but the oil pools in the "valley" of the intake manifold next to the bolt...

Guys, I had this intake manifold and carb on my original stock 383 engine in order to "modernize" its performance a bit when it was in my 70 Roadrunner. I pulled that engine a year ago in order to put in the 493 stroker which you may have seen in my other threads. The original 383 is now...

Hey Gents I need some ideas: On my '70RR I am in the process of running a fan-cooled trans cooler in front of my radiator and AC condenser - behind the grill but in front of the core support. The cooler lines are replacing the factory pipe which runs only to the radiator cooler - behind the...

Does anyone know if the 68/69 and 70 front Plymouth bumpers share the same profile along the bottom edge? I know it seems like an odd question, but I really need a front chin spoiler for my 70 Roadrunner and I CANNOT find anything. Randy at Spoliers by Randy makes one for the 68/69 but doesn't...

Ok guys. I'm usually pretty good with math and diagrams, but the relationship between backspace and offset seems impossible. 1. Backspace is easy because you can measure it. It is the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel and the inner rim lip. Stick a ruler inside the wheel...

SOLD. Tic Tock Tach 68-70 Rallye Dash - Classic Industries OER SOLD SOLD SOLD. THANKS ALL Gents, I have for sale an OER Tic Toc Tach from Classic Industries, part number 1277441. My car originally came with no tach at all so I installed this one when I was first getting the car running...

Guys I just can't get enough air into my motor. It's a 493 stroker with stock Eddy RPM heads and a Quickfuel 850 carb. I bought a simple dropped base 14 inch by 3" high air cleaner to try, and the car is noticably slower than running with the huge 16" by 4" cleaner that i stuck on temporarily...

Gents, I am in the process of installing parts on my newly rebuilt 493 stroker, including the alternator. I went to attach the power wire onto the post on my stock 3-wire alternator and the post came off in my hand (see photo of post and plastic shield). Does this thread into the...

Gents I have reviewed the existing threads and don't think they answer my question. Can you help me? If you look at the pix below, you'll see my stock 383 which I just pulled from my 1970 Roadrunner / 1970 K Frame. We pulled only the long bolt from each engine mount, so the mount is bolted to...

Does anyone have any pictures or descriptions of a large bore fuel line setup from the stock tank to the carb? I'd like to run a half inch line from my stock tank and thru a "built" mechanical pump, but I don't know how to build a pickup for the stock tank. The biggest I can use with a stock...
