Question From: S.J.Ivancso,Jr. 2012-01-26
Question: My 1968 GTX needs the underneath of the hood repainted due to a carb fire. Should I repaint it the factory color that it presently is or would black be an option. Car is in great shape and a summer cruiser.
Thank you,
SJI Response(s) Your choice BUT if were mine I would take the time to remove as much under hood wiring, lines etc. (tape them up, hold out of the way, etc)clean and sand as needed and repaint to original color. Black is is fast way to cover up a bad engine compartment and does nothing to show off your Mopar. You don't want to look like one of the Chevy guys do you?

Question From: Ted Brine 2012-01-15
Question: I am thinking of buying the 1969 B5 Blue, Hemi post coupe Road Runner I ordered and purchased in late 1968. Only options were the hemi (came with four speed), AM radio and mat black hood stripes. Car was converted to a B modified race car in 1970 and when I sold it, I did so with engine, trans or rear. Gentleman who purchased it from me kept it all these years. He put in a hemi with hi-compression pistons, a cross ram, push button torqueflite. Car is running but only on race gas. Has no heater, radio etc. Body is original, never repainted and needs minor rust repair at base of rear window. It has a great history but has no matching numbers. What do you think it might be worth? Thank you. Response(s)

Question From: S.J.IVANCSO 2012-01-10
Question: I own a 1968 Plymouth GTX with a factory tac that is presently inoperable. How do I go about hooking it back up or checking to see if it's still a functioning unit? Thank you, SJI Response(s) If the car has been converted to pointless or electronic ignition do not try to use it you will damage the tac. If you are running a points distributor there should be a wire that attaches to the back of the tac that runs to the negative side of the coil,I believe not sure which side of the coil but I think it was the negative side . The tach grounds to the car through the dash cluster. If it is out of the dash you will need to ground the case. One wire goes to the 12 volt power at the fuse block, should be on a "switched" 12 volt which is only there whe the ignition switch is on. The grey (I think) wire goes out to the coil, the same side that has the wire that goes to the distributor (points).
Question From: Ron Schneider 2012-01-06
Question: What color are the original spark plug wires on a 1968 Road Runner? For electronic ignition? Response(s) Origianl wires were black with black boots on the distributor. The 68 Road Runner did not have electronic ignition. It had a single point distributor with a shiny black distributor cap.

Question From: Tom Klein 2011-12-25
Question: Is there a ohm test that can be performed on a temp guage (out Of Dash) to tell if the guage is good? The car is a 1969 Road Runner. Or any kind of test with the guage out of the car? Response(s) Tom, I am not sure of the exact ohm value of the temp gauge but let me give you some information. The temp gauge uses a 0 to 100 ohm sending unit. The voltage applied is 5 volts due to the voltage limiter on the dash circuit board. If you wire the gauge and the sending unit in series, then put 5 volts across the assembly, at room temperature the gauge shoul not read. If you elevate the sensor temp to abut 180 degress, the gauge should read in the normal operaton range. This allows you to "calibrate" your gauge with the sending unit you will be using.

Question From: paul 2011-12-08
Question: I have a 69 Road Runner and there is nothing on the underside of the hood it seems very flimsy and rattles a lot. Can someone please help me? Response(s) I would first make sure you have an original or replacement STEEL hood and NOT a FIBERGLAS one. a magnet will tell you for sure. real hood will have spot welded bracing and underhood heat matting (my RM21 car does) sorry but if you have a FIBERGLAS one get rid of it, they are cheap and not even street legal in some states (more for racing to save weight) I would not want a plastic hood sitting on top of a big block Mopar motor for very long, hope this helps, also AMD a good source for replacement hood

Question: I need the location and measurements on a 1968 Road Runner hood stripe. Response(s) The rear of the horizontal "stripe" followed the contour of the back of the hood starting at the rear edge of the engine callouts on each side of the hood.

Question From: gama 2011-07-15
Question: I installed a new emissions 1970 fuel tank on my 1970 Road Runner. However, one of the vacuum lines that goes to the front of car was broken, trying to figure out where it is supposed to connect. Response(s) Your (evaporation Control System (ECS) gas tank has 4-vent/liquid return lines that go into the Vapor-Liquid Separator tube, located on the passenger side of your trunk. There is a fifth line coming out of that separator that goes to the Crankcase Air Cleaner on the passenger side valve cover. This Crankcase Air Cleaner should have three connections to it. One is for the line mention, one to the carburetor, and a third one to Carburetor Air Cleaner.

Question From: Mike 2011-07-02
Question: I am looking for a diagram of the original fuel line routing for a 69 Road Runner. Is there such a thing? Response(s) Possibly the shop manual. The routing is fairly simple though. From the fuel tank there is a short piece of rubber hose leading from the gas tank sending unit to the metal line that runs along the right side inner frame rail with the proper clips leading to the engine compartment. Another small piece of rubbber line connects the metal frame line to the inlet of the fuel pump. Year One, Jims Auto Parts and others have the replacement fuel lines, clips and rubber hoses. Depending how original you want it, they also have the proper 'KV" hose and the keystone clamps.

Question From: Ed 2011-06-23
Question: Whats the best street cam for a 1968 GTX 4-speed 4 barr carb 440? Response(s) Depends on the rest of your engine. If it has the stock carb, intake, heads and exhaust, stay with the factory 440 cam. The specs are in your manual or available from your local Mopar dealer that handles the performance Mopar parts. Unless you have worked the engine over completely, the stock cam is hard to beat. If it has been modified slightly, the next step up in the Mopar catalog is good. Remember, anytime you change cams, you have to consider idle RPM (auto only) and vacuum for power brakes. Hope this helps

Question: Could someone please tell me what cam the 1969 Road Runner 383 HP motor had in it? I've been told that the only difference in the HP and non HP was cam and valve springs. I would like to know the specs of the HP cam. Response(s) Ron, both the 1968 and 69 Road Runner 383's had the 440 heads, performance exhaust manifolds, 440 cam and windage tray between the block and oil pan. They also had good AVS Carter carbs and better curved distributors. There are several books available that details these engines.

Question From: tony reda 2011-05-20
Question: I have a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with new aftermarket gas tank with vent lines in the trunk. My question is can I use vented cap? What are potential problems? tks tony Response(s) Tony, I don't think there is a problem using the vented cap BUT there could be a related problem. The gas being refined today does not have additives that help prevent evaporation. All new cars have sealed systems and have fuel injection so there is not an evaporation problem. If you vent the tank, there could be excessive evaporation and thus varnish deposits. Not sure how much or how fast, but maybe. Any chemist out there that can help?

Question From: John Boone 2011-04-18
Question: I have received a '68 Road Runner that has been being built for about four years. It is complete and I believe that the two bottom lamps in the dash are not working. Can I get them out by going under the dash through the back or can the thing be removed easily so that I can change them? It looks like it will be very difficult to reach in from the back of the dash to get them out. Thanks Response(s) John, try to get to them from under the dash. The instrument clusters in the 68 Runners are REALLY difficult to get out. Find you a friend with small arms and hands and let them try to get to the bulbs Totally agree with the first answer, remember, they are a twist type connector that only needs about a 90 degree twist to remove.

Question From: Jim Wickline 2011-04-03
Question: I was told my 1963 Belvedere has a 1970 Road Runner engine. It is a 1970 block and four barrel with the numbers only on the pan rail pad. Any way to confirm it's a Road Runner engine? Thanks. Response(s) HI Jim, No special id was given to rr engines. The 383 and 440 was used in lots of differnt cars and trucks, the differnce in the 383 is that in the r it had 440 heads in 1968 and 69 & 70 etc, best wishes Jim, If it was a high performance 383 engine (not a standard two barrel version) there should be the letters HP on the machined pad just in front of the passenger side head and under the distributor. This donotes the performace engine. The pad will also carry the year it was made. The letter "D" I think is for the 68 engive..

Question: Hi! I am new to Mopars, and trying to find out if a 68 Road Runner trunk lid is the same as a 69? I am restoring a 69 and need a lid. Thanks! Response(s) A 68 Deck Lid will not fit unfortunately.
I found myself in a similar situation while restoring my 69 Roadrunner Convertible.
Finding a solid 69 deck lid is tough, but not impossible.
I was lucky enough to find one locally for $100.
There is currently one on Chicago's Craigslist listed at $400.
I would recommend that you join 69roadrunner.net because there are a lot of guys on that site that can help you with specific 69 questions. I think a member in Arizona has a decklid for a 69 for sale as well.
Good Luck...
i have a 69 trunk lid, pretty decent condition, just sitting in my garage, have pics if intrested, 75 plus shipping, no longer have 69, have 68

Question From: Redpig 2011-03-10
Question: What is the difference between a 69 and a 69 1/2 Road Runner? Response(s) You usually only see the term "69 1/2 roadrunner" used when refering to the 440 6-Barrel (A-12) car. All others are just called 69 roadrunners. I believe it has to do with the later-year production date, and of course, the 440 6BBL option The 440 was never available as an option on the Road Runner when it was introduced in 1968. Only the 383 and 426 Hemi were available. The 69 1/2 was the introduction of the 440 and available with on the 6-Pack. In 1970, the 383 was standard, 440-4bbl, 440-6-Pack and 426 Hemi were optional.

Question From: Duke Pratt 2011-02-05
Question: I have a 1969 Factory 426 Hemi Road Runner Four speed car, The starter is the original one and turns slow when the motor is hot, I bought a new gear reduction starter for a hemi car, but the bolt holes dont line up? They told me I had the original bell housing & flywheel for this Hemi and new starters are not available? So i had the original one rebuilt and it helped but still is to slow for me when she is hot? What are my options? Thanks So much, This is a real nice car. Duke. Response(s) You need to contact manciniracing.com or call them at 586-790-4100 Duke, the original starters for the Hemi's were painfully slow. They sounded like they were not going to turn the motor. If your original starter has been rebuilt, make sure you don't have another problem like the initial timing set to high. Duke, there were 2 starters available (at least when I hired in in 1976 at engineering). One was a 1.5 h.p and the other was a 1.8 h.p. The 1.8 was used on the 400 & 440. The difference was the 1.8 was about a 1/2 inch longer. If these were the same in 69, then you need the 1.8. You might even check out one of the new ones. They are smaller and more powerful and if you show your car, swap it out with the original after setting it up.

Question From: sam 2011-01-25
Question: I have a 68 Road Runner and the fuel and the tempguages work intermitenly. Do you know whats could be causing this? Response(s) Check your engine to firewall ground that ground can efect your gauges. Check your engine to firewall ground that ground can efect your gauges. I believe I read something about the voltage regulator that attaches to the circuit board that might do that not sure though. There is a mechanical "voltage regulator" on the circuit board attached to your (behind)your speedometer cluster. It actually is a voltage limiter that drops the 12 volts down to 5 volts for the temperature and gas gauges ONLY. New ones are available and simply plug into the circuit board. The biggest challange is getting to it. There are also new solid state regulators available that work MUCH better than the old mechanical vibrator type. DON'T FORGET TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE ANY ELECTRICAL WORK!! Hope this helps.
Question From: Bruce Owens 2011-01-23
Question: I have a 1969 Road Runner we are putting the alternator back in it after someone else took it and other parts out. I was hoping someone could tell me how many brackets hold it in the car, I can only find the one bracket with two (2) bolts one about 5 inches long and a short one. But the thing shakes like crazy I am afraid this will not hold long? Any pictures of the alternator would help I am a beginner at restoring I think you can tell. Thanks for any help I can get. Response(s) I can help you with your problem in a few ways if you are not in a real immediate need to get the alternator mounted. first my 69 Road Runner is in the restoration shop as we speak I can take a look at the mount next time I am there (I think one bracket on the 383). make sure they are the CORRECT bolts, length, threads NOT stripped, if they do not seat/torque correctly they may be wrong ones. best advise I can give you and all other readers of this column is to buy a 1969 Plymouth Shop Manual (about 60.00 on e-bay) has every part and system on B-Body cars covered (my mechanic is using mine for my Road Runner) hope this helps

Question: I am installing a 440 in my 70 Super Bee n96 ramcharger hood. I need a air cleaner base the engine has an Edelbrock RPM intake. I know the 440 cleaner sits lower, which base do I need? Does the RPM make a difference in the height? HELP! Response(s) That's a tough one... the 440's are taller than the 383's by about 1 to 1-1/2 inches & the clearances are tight. The 383/340 base has a little taller "base hole" than the 440 ones (which are rare). Also, your aftermarket intake might be too tall. There is some extra room, but if you use taller intakes, 383 base on a 440, carb spacer/nitrous plate, etc. the lid may hit the air grabber box. Luckily, I think the round 70+ style lids clear a little better. Close the hood gently & see what you get. If it's too tall, the door won't close all the way.

Question: I have a 1973 Plymouth Satellite and I wanted to know which fuse in the box is for the windshield wippers. I tried to look in one of my books but they don't say anything and I'm trying to save time. Response(s) If the wipers are not working you might want to tighten the ground wire on the wiper motor.

Question: I have a 1973 Road Runner and most of the time the horn does not work. I know it's not the horn and I am sure it probably is the contacts on the steering wheel. Does anyone have a good way of solving this problem? If it is the contacts, where can I buy new ones? Response(s) Disconnect the horn from where it is at, chances are that it is not grounded,and has rust or another foreign substance. At least, this is what I will be doing when it warms up. I have a 1972, 4 Speed car. Michigan is cold this time of year.And my horn does not work either. Donald

Question: How do I get the door glass out of the door and seperated from the wing window track? Have all the bolts out and can't pull window out of the door. Response(s) Take the bracket loose from the glass track by pushing out the center of the plastic rivet that holds to the glass to the regulator.That may allow the clearance needed. Remove the screw that holds the rear of the vent wing assy together to get the front of the glass out.It's a real pita.I need help putting mine back together. Some of you guys that have been there and done that PLEASE respond to some of these questions. I do respond to the questions that I know and try to save fellow hobbiest money. But you guys have to seek info in other places like magazines , sevice manuals .Do your home work it pays!

Question: I have a 69 Road Runner that I am trying to determine to take it back to original or do a resto Mod to it. The engine car and trans are the same year but do not have matching numbers. Will the value be better in the future if it is original or a resto Mod? This car is in very good shape and has been already painted viper yellow for ten year 10 years. I would like to do resto Mod if the value (if when I would ever sell it). Response(s) Hi Jeff, I think you already know this one,engne and tranny are already incorrect as is the paint color. If you like restomode go that way this car can only be original if you have the correct drive train and repaint to original, by the way resto mods have done quite nicely at Barret-Jackson the past couple years. Have fun with that car! DD

Question: Does anyone know why no one is reproducing the quarter panel extensions/end caps/end moldings for a 1970 Road Runner, Satellite, or GTX? They have to be ordered used(hopefuly in good ,or better shape). Why wouldn't someone make these part's? Response(s) a mold alone depending on shape size and what not start around 10k then you have to be able to produce them and sell them This item is plentiful on e-bay as all Belvedres, Sattelite, Sport Sattellite, Road Runners and GTX s had them thousands are out there for a reasonable price.

Question: On a 1972 Road Runner, if I don't have a fender tag, broadcast sheet, or original engine, how can I estimate the build date? In other words, are there any date coded parts that are usually close to the official build date? I do have the original trans. Response(s) The last six digits of your VIN number is the sequence number and will tell you the approximate month & year it was built and compare it to a database of known build dates. Try Dave Walden at ECS Automotive, he makes door VIN decals.

Question: I have a 70 Road Runner with manual steering. I might convert it to power steering. What parts will I need to do this? Thanks. Response(s) Hey Marty
You will need the pump (easy),the belts,pulley(easy),assorted bolts etc.(easy)The hard one is the column.You will at least have to change the shaft as the length is different.If you are ok with aftermarket ,then Flaming River can fit the bill with a new column that slides right in
which may not be visible in the email response, but will be visible on the web site with your question.
