Question From: ken fletcher 2010-02-20
Question: Has any one heard of a 68 Road Runner painted a mediterranean turquoise blue? I know it was a color for Satellites. The reason I ask, my 68 Runner is that color, I would like to refressh the paint and I need the paint code. Response(s) Ken, they don't have one of that name, but you can see some paint codes here at the Road Runner Site at http://www.roadrunnersite.com/colors.php. You should probably print the 1968 page and take it to a paint shop and ask to see the blue colors in actual paint chips that will better represent the color of the car. You should also check the fender tag if it is on the car and match it to the codes on the 1968 page found here on the web site. Ed - RoadRunnerSite.com

Question From: Dave 2010-01-19
Question: Did all 1970 Road Runner 4-speed cars come with a pistol grip? What is the code for pistol grip? My '70 RR has a correct looking hurst stick with a plain white ball (not even the 4 speed pattern). I don't see anywhere on the build sheet where this would be called out. Will a pistol grip 'screw on' like a ball does or is the hurst stick also different? Response(s) Yes a flat curved shaft with the Pistol Grip sides attached to it (not screwed on at the top) earlier shafts were thin ,round and had a wood grain screw on knob
Question From: ben 2010-01-16
Question: I have a 1969 Road Runner 440 engine 9.5 to 1 compression cam lift 443 int exh 465 @.050 214 int 224 exh power range 2000-5000 rpm weiand action plus intake manifold headers 4 speed manual, 323 gears would a Edelbrock Avs 800 cfm be to much or the 650 Avs for my max cam 5000 rpm power range? Response(s) The 650 AVS would probably run better aroujnd town and for general crusing, especially condsidering your 5000 RPM limit. The 800 would be better for hard running but with the 3:23 gears that probably will not be an issue. Plus, the Ederbrock carbs are very sensitive to heat soak and loading problems. I have an AVS oin my Runner and it performs great. Just make sure someone rebuilds it properly. thanks ive been experimenting for a long time i tryed edelbrock 750 holley 750 vac.sec the 650 edelbrock avs engine ignition timing 18 bftc total 38 degrees all in @ 3000 rpms it seem to run best with the 650 avs
Question From: Jerry 2010-01-15
Question: I have a 68 with a Dana 60 rear end equpiped with a factory sure grip. I purchased the Mopar replacement clutch package and installed the same number of plates facing the same directions as original and now my posi acts like a spool. The tire or tires squeel when turning in my drive way at slow speed. I found out that I needed to set the preload at 400 lbs. Is the procedure available to set this preload? Response(s) I have read somewhere if you do not use the sure grip gear oil that can cause the tires to squeel like yours. Could not find a preload of 400 lbs anywhere in my 1968 service manual you might want to purchase a service manual it will help you with what you are doing.

Question From: Jeff Morningstar 2010-01-04
Question: Where to buy wire, correct gauge and color for a 1969 Road Runner, to fix my engine wire harness. Thanks Jeff Response(s)
Question From: Jeff Morningstar 2010-01-04
Question: Where to find color wires for harness? This is for a 1969 Road Runner. Response(s) The colors are in the Service Manual. For your previous question, determine the gauge of the existing wire and purchase a multi-stranded PVC-coated type wire. This should simulate the factory look and be flexible. If you need, or want, to upgrade the gauge (i.e. from 12 to 10) get a Teflon-coated insulation. It is thinner, but the same flexibility and voltage resistance. Randy Thank You
