    To shroud or not to shroud...

    I don't have a shroud on my 1970 road runner, simply because when I bought it in 1977 it didn't have one. Never a heating problem, even on trips through hot summer prairies. I used the same 383 rad when I dropped in the 440 and it still ran the same temperature, namely whatever degree...

    Rotary Valve Engines

    Apex seals were improved to the point of being fairly reliable. Between the first NSU in 1964 and the last Mazda RX-8 in 2012, improvements were constant and beneficial. It's true that emissions were a problem to overcome, and were a difficult hurdle. The current Mazda MX-30 is the only car...

    ‘70 Road Runner Under Hood Light ?

    There are generally two ways to activate the light; either a mechanical switch similar to a door jamb switch, often used in trunk lights, or a mercury switch that completes the circuit when the bulb/switch and bracket are tilted up past a certain angle.

    What all components are needed for the pop up headlights 1970 dodge charger

    So sorry for the late response to this statement, but which law was it that forbade vacuum operated mechanisms for hidden headlamps? I just wondered, because the Corvette used them until 1982.

    Sorry Not MOPAR But rare and strange.. 1949 Mustang

    I wonder who would have even been tempted to buy one back then? For $400 more, you could have bought a 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe, far more stylish and with 97 horsepower.

    That is the final issue being talked about.

    Mopar Action Magazine

    It's probably sold out already, it's been out for awhile.

    Mopar Action Magazine

    Is Chrysler Power magazine out of print now too? Their website is still up.

    ok what to try next for my dim lights ?

    Is that how they're measured now? The old specs (like out of the 1969 field service manual) list the output at lower rpms. For example:

    Driving in winter with dry roads?

    Chances are, because of the salty winter, you won't be driving your car much at all for a few months, so why not wait until spring and it's safe out there before taking your car in for the upgrade?

    Magnesium anode to stop the rust

    Too true! But a lot of water heaters use aluminum anodes.

    Hypothetical VIN question:

    For that year, Plymouth pumped out 882,196 vehicles. Dodge made 665,536 while Chrysler produced 234,223. Imperial added another 16,729.

    Brake fluid mix

    I've read that statement by Rick, and he was incorrect. He stated that DOT 3,4 and 5 refer to boiling points only, and not whether or not they had silicon in them. He even said that some DOT 3 has silicon, which contradicts what the DOT requirements are for brake fluid. I like a lot of Rick's...

    Hypothetical VIN question:

    It was around 48 hours in 1973, likely not much change for other years.

    Hypothetical VIN question:

    Probably more than that. Lynch road was building around 56 cars per hour, two shifts a day.
