    Electrical Gremlins: Roadrunner Dying While Driving and Idling. Help!

    I too had an intermittent engine dying issue a few years back. All electrical good, tested and checked all components, knew it wasn't fuel issue. Turned out to be the old factory ignition switch, like @bobfake posted about above. Bought a replacement from Napa for $21.00 and it's been fine...

    Over drive RPM in OD ?

    With everything being stock, shouldn't be a problem....if you have an 8-3/4 rear it will be easy enough to swap to the other gearset if you aren't happy.

    Rear Main Seal Bad...., I Think!?

    I agree with the Kimmer. Unless you cleaned it up before the pictures, any seepage looks to be from the pan rail area. Keep in mind the two main seal retainer oil pan bolts can bottom out in the holes, as those bolt holes are shallower than the ones in the block...seen that mistake a few times...

    Torque converter bolts

    These guys are spot on...true converter bolts have thinner heads for clearance.

    Best oil for a roller cam engine

    I guess not....maybe they know enough to set things up to oil correctly...

    California Car exemptions by Jay Leno

    You bet they are....because at times we've actually been able to vote them out! Maybe it's time for an "electoral college" of sorts for states too.... :thumbsup:

    Best oil for a roller cam engine

    I thought a big bonus of going roller was you can use any oil? I do know that my engine guy (and other pro builders ) do NOT recommend the higher zinc/phosphorus-type oils with roller cams, regardless of your spring forces.

    California Car exemptions by Jay Leno

    ...except that the "standards" are fluid and keep changing to meet whatever the new "carbon footprint requirements" and green blah blah blah dictate....a load of meadow muffins! How anyone with a brain can keep voting these guys in baffles the mind...

    New 512 Stroker Running hot

    My 505's dialed at 24/50/34 respectively....but that's just my combo. Yours may need something different. I run a transmission cooler in front of the radiator as well but it doesn't block as much as yours appears to in the picture. That definitely isn't helping with airflow at higher speeds...

    Comp cam stories!

    You have to....even parts from "reputable" companies have issues sometimes.

    Anyone install B&M Star Shifter in their B body?

    Put it wherever it's most comfortable for you with the seat adjusted to where you like it. If that shifter is anything like my Quicksilver, the way the cable connects to the shifter will dictate where you drill the hole. In my case, the hole was drilled slightly forward of the shifter base...

    Alternator wiring update wiring diagram using higher AMP alternator

    Yes and please folks, use two wrenches! I've seen more ammeters fubar'd from guys tightening the top nut without holding the bottom nut than any "meltdowns"...

    Alternator wiring update wiring diagram using higher AMP alternator

    It all depends on what you're doing with the car. Unless you're adding loads to the system (electric fuel pump/fan/water pump, more lighting, hot stereo/amp etc) then the factory wiring is fine IF it's in good shape. Check the connections and feel the wiring to make sure it isn't stiff or...

    What did you learn about your Mopar today?

    This wasn't today, but I learned that the former owner of my car must have been half deaf or just oblivious to strange rattling noises! After first driving my car years ago and hearing weird rattles I did some searching and finally found the source of the noise. All this stuff was down between...

    440 temperature sensor

    I bought several from my friendly neighborhood auto parts stores....and for the most part none of them were very accurate. I finally did get one from the local O'Kragens that was close enough to what the temp gun read, but it took a few trips of returning parts and trial-and-error. In other...
