| Question:
i have a 4 spd, 69 Road Runner, the transmission has no ID pad but does have a casting #c95639, could this be the original trans and if it isn't, is it a correct replacement? Why would there be no ID pad? Any answers would be appreciated, thanks, Mark
Response(s)
mymopar.com has some casting number,,,,,,or stockmopar.com...........or moparpages.com
just a guess but, it's probably a later model tranny. The 833 cases were pretty much the same into the late 70's.

| Question:
I own a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner SuperBird that I have owned for 30 years now. I am in the process of building a new garage to house the car in and I am planning on installing a Backyard Buddy 4 post lift in my new garage to work on the SuperBird or other cars on. I need to know the overall height, width and weight of my SuperBird for ceiling clearance restrictions before I start construction of my new garage. Any help you give me would be very appreciated. Thank, Ken Beard
Response(s)
Ken, I would think that you could measure your car to find the length, width and height to provide the most accurate measurements for construction of the garage. However, the weight I could see a problem for you to determine. I only found one source in my documentation that said the weight was 3,675 pounds from the factory. I hope this helps.
Ken,
Simply measure your car for the outside dimensions. If the car is drivable and you live near one, take the car to one of the truck weighing stations usually around the interstates. I have used the ones here in Virginia. The State Police are usually very willing to assist, plus they will enjoy checking out your Bird.

Hello
What is the difference or how can I tell the difference between a Rally Dash and a Non Rally Dash of a 1972 Plymouth Road Runner.
Thanks, Greg
Response(s)
Greg,
The non rallye dash was just a long rectangular instrument cluster. The rallye dash was a woodgrain bezel piece with circular gagues set individually in the dash

| Question:
I am hoping to purchase a 1969 Road Runner and have been doing a lot of on-line research(price, location, condition, etc.) and would ideally like the standard 383/4-speed set-up. What I am getting confused on is the factory color of these vehicles. I am leaning toward the blue or green shades with the black hood stripes. I have the chart of factory paint codes/colors which show Ice Blue, Blue Fire, Jamaica Blue Metallic and Lime Green,Ivy Green, Lime Light and Sassy Grass Green. I've also seen a special order color #99 Rallye Green and some odd listing like Q5 Torquoise add LL1 Sea Foam Torquoise. Could someone sort out these colors for me as I would like the car I buy to have a genuine factory color on it. I know the fender tag is a big help with this but am concerned that if the car was repainted it was done in the proper factory color and not in some color the owner thought looked cool. Thank you.
Response(s)
I noticed your question pertaining to color codes for the '69 road runner. The Green hues according to PPG Automotive Finishes were F3 Frost Green Poly, F5 Limelight Poly, F8 Ivy Green Poly, 999 Rallye Green, and Q5 Turquoise a blue-green color. My dad's road runner (later mine) was Q5 and its a very nice color. Sassy Grass was not an available color on the 69 road runners. Good luck on your search. I hope you find a good one.
Thanks for the info on the 69 Road Runner green paint choices that could be of great help. On my further research after posting the question, I came across some info that the Q5 Turquoise shades were only offered on 68 Road Runners, but that must be incorrect if your dad's car was that color. Does your Road Runner have the black hood stripes? I didn't know initially that this feature was an option-V21 Performance Hood Paint (Organosol Black), which I would definitely want to have on my vehicle. Thanks again.
Q5 Turquoise was indeed offered in 1969. See this page for the PPG colors available for 1969: http://69roadrunner.org/pdf/paintchips69.pdf
I've seen more than a few Q5 Turquoise road runners. Back when my dad had his there was one a couple of blocks down from the Jr. High school I attended at a Post Office satellite office that looked identical to my dad's car (Q5, black bucket seat interior and Hurst 4 speed) except it had styled steel road wheels and the blocks on the hood read HEMI. It was to die for! Once my dad added the styled steel road wheels in 1971 )he bought it in 1970) you could not tell the cars apart from 50'.
My current road runner has the stripes but they were not factory installed. Back when I owned the car the 1st time I had them added when I had it painted in 1985. I sold the car in '88 and got it back in 2000 and it still had the stripes on the hood even though it had been painted in the mean time. In my opinion they make the car. Good luck on your build. |

I have a 1974 Plymouth Road Runner with 360, Auto, A/C, PS, PB. Is the group 27 battery the correct size for this car even though it is not a big block? Thanks.
Response(s)
Mike,
Go to the website MyMopar.com. It is a great website with a LOT of Mopar downloads. From the home page, select "Downloads" from the listing on the left, look under the "electrical" heading and you will see a battery listing. There is a chart showing which batteries were available for your car. From what I remember, you could basically order any battery you wanted as an option no matter what engine you had. Hope this helps.

| Question:
Hello, I am restoring a 69 Road Runner for a customer. This is first Plymouth I've ever done. Mostly GM stuff. Any way the customer brought me the car in boxes. I have a new wiring harness for the car and for the life of me I cannot find the exact placement for the fuse box. It has dyna mat in the car and I'm not sure if it is covering the spot for the box or what. I know this is a dumb question but could someone tell me or show me where the fusebox goes? 69 Road Runner, 472 Hemi, tremec 5-speed. Thanks for your time, MARK
Response(s)
Hi Mark. The fuse box is located in the vicinity of the glove box. Its on the left side and is shielded from the glove box by a cardboard partition that has a flap with 2 screws in the upper corners. To get to the fuse box when everything is in place all you do is open the glove box, remove the 2 screws, fold the flap down and there are the fuses.
I'd suggest that you get a shop manual pronto to help in the build. You can even get them on CD. Do a web search and you should be able to find shop manuals on CD very easily - as well as printed manuals. Trying to build a car without the shop manual will be a very frustrating venture.
Good luck on the build - I hope it turns out well!
I agree completely with the first response. The fuse block is attached to the dash frame with 1 bolt from the bottom. The box is under the glove box cardboard on the left side. It is almost easier to unbolt the fuse block and drop it down under the dash lip for servicing.
Now you have two options.
Welcome to the wonderfull world of mopar! You're either gonna love or hate, but you will agree it's lot more expensive to love a mopar than any of the other brands. I hope this dosn't burn you with your customer. It's just a matter economics. GM was cranking out 300,000 camaros a year and only 82,000 RRs hit the streets in 69. Nobody made mopar parts until the prices went through roof. Now you can find repop stuff, but they see you comin. Good luck and let us know how things go. |

sheet metal as in replacement fenders, door skins or actual sheets of metal because youll have to go with original parts for the car because they dont make after market parts for the 71 72 road runners, satellites gtx. ect i can find just about anything
I here Goodmark is about to come out with some panels for 71-72 I think quarters first. Check with them for facts.

Does anyone have the vin list for the Superbird production, or know how to get it? I am looking at buying a bird and want to make sure it is legite. Thanks
Response(s)
I doubt very highly that there is a vin list of all the Superbirds built. If you need verification as to the originality of the car I would suggest contacting Galen Govier (http://www.gvgovier.com/). He is the authority on all things Mopar and if anyone can tell you he can. He does charge a fee so I'd suggest you contact him and see just what that might be. In dealing with a car of this stature it would be well worth it IMO.
Do you have a specific car in mind or are you just starting your search. Check out the Winged Warriors club for info. All Daytonas and Superbirds were "post-assembled" by a small firm in Detroit and as such there is a plethora of details that can differentiate a clone from a true wing car.

I own a 1972 Road Runner everythings #'s matching. I was wondering, have read and have been told many times there were only like 7,000 of the 72's built. Why does mine have a extra number 86262?
Response(s)
Zach,
If I am not mistaken and the number you are refering to are the last digits of your VIN number, the number is the production number for all the cars built that year at a particular location based on Chryslers production year. The number is not for a particular car make or model.

I just bought a 68 Road Runner and the fender tag is missing and it has no build sheet. Is there any other way to find out what the car came with for options? It's a 4 speed car but it has AC and a rear window defogger and appears to have had a vinyl top at one time. Are these rear options for this year? Any help would be great. Thanks
Response(s)
Send a letter addressed to: Chrysler Historical Collection, CIMS 410-11-21, 12501 Chrysler Freeway, Detriot, Michigan. Make sure you include your vehicle identification number (vin#). They may have your vehicles build information still on file. I need to do the same with my Road Runner. I have the fender tag but not the build sheet information. Good luck.

| Question:
72 satellite, I am converting my cluster to a rally dash. The wiring on the old harness is different. It has what I would call a revolver style harness. The rally has individual wire set-up. How can I convert without cutting revolver from the original set-up? Do they make a conversion harness so I don't have to cut and splice all the wires?
Response(s)
Danny, I helped a friend do a similar conversion. We found an old dash harness with the round connector that plugs into the instrument cluster circuit board. The female pins from inside the round connector can be unsoldered and removed. You can then crimp/solder the female pins on your rally harness and using the wiring diagram, simply plug each dash harness wire onto the proper pin on the circuit board. The pins need to fit tight so be sure to check the tightness. Once they are connected and operation is checked, you can apply a small dap of RTV/Silicon sealer on each pin to help keep the pins from vibration loose. Good Luck

I have a 73 Road Runner that I put a 383 in, but now im thinking of putting a 440. Am I better off just building up the 383 or just getting the 440?
Response(s)
There is no replacement for displacement. The 440 will make more power and torque with less modification which translates to better driveabilty. I'd go witht he 440, mild cam, good intake and carb, 440 HP exhaust, good ignition. 425 HP and it will run good in traffic and will get reasonable fuel mileage crusing (14-15)with a 3:23-3:55 rear gear.

My body guy cut out my rear shock support and was gonna fix it up and weld it back in, instead he threw it out on accident and now im ending my restoration and have no idea where to get one or how to go about making somthing that would work. We thought about welding a plate up there but then my exhaust will not fit threw to the back! I'm running out of time and money, so any help from anyone on here would be very very greatfull!
Response(s)
I don't see why that would be a problem , it should work.
Jason,
I have recently seen the shock mount frame as a reproduced unit either at Year One or some of the other restoration parts houses. You should be able to find one to weld in and keep your machine original.
Jason,
I copied this description for you to view. It may be what you want.
New from Auto Rust Technicians is a reproduction of the rear shock mount crossmember for '66-'70 B-Body cars. A common problem with these cars was the addition of air shocks, which would subsequently erode the holes into ovals, as well as bend or twist the mounting points. Auto Rust Technicians make theirs from 11-gauge steel. Unlike most slip-on, cap-style products, this is a direct weld-in replacement. Autorust Technicians; (401) 944-4444; www.autorust.com

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a print of door window installation for a 68 GTX can anyone help? Thanks
Response(s)
About the only place I have ever seen one is the Chrysler shop manual. I rebuilt all the door and glass mechcanisms on my 68 Runner. I took a lot of pictures before I removed parts. The manual helped with what I forgot. You can get them either hard copy or on CD. ebay usually has several. You can also get them from Year One, Jim's Auto Parts, etc.
Im having the same problem as we speak, ive tried for 2 days to just put the driver window in, i keep failing over and over. Plus the felt strips on my windows are falling appart so its making it even harder. If you come up with anything please let me know, and ill do the same for you.

Thank you very much Rick. The shippers took the back seat out, so if it was there, they found it. I will check the glove box area and pray. I really would like that information that is on it, and have no other clue as how else to obtain. Again, thank you for your help. Good luck to you as well.

Response(s)
Matt,
Check with companies such as Year One or other restoration parts houses. They all have new harnesses. I restored my 68 Runner with Y1 harnesses, they fit great and worked perfectly. Not cheap, but good stuff.
I could not disagree more, I thought year one was complete junk, didn't fit,bent tabs, no tech help or instructions provided.
3 weeks ago i put a bran new dash wiring harness from year one for my 1968 roadrunner and i was done in less than a half hour. It was idiot proff. I also baught the engine,tailights and headlight harness and put all 3 in within an hour. If you order it make sure you specifi on wether you have an oil gauge or light, i had a light and twice they sent me the wrong 1 with the set up for the gauge and it wasent even close to fitting right. In the past 6 months ive ordered about $3000.00 worth of stuff from yearone and only 2 parts ive had problems with. The spedo cable doesent clip in right and the quarterpannel extention gaskets dont fit. So i highlu reccomend YEARONE. |

I have seen a number of these on Ebay and other Mopar websites. I too have just completed a total restoration on my 68 RR Hardtop. One thing that was in very poor shape on mine was the light housings and sockets along with the actual wire harnesses. I replaced the light and engine harnesses (plus others) and rebuilt all the lights. It was a lot of work but the end results were worth it. Everything works great and all burn at the same intensity level. Good Luck.

I have a 72 Road Runner that is supposed to be a 340 4spd car, the previous owner was racing it with an auto trans and I believe a 440 (I've never spoke to owner, it's a long story} I need to know if the driveshaft and trans bracket will work with the A833 trans and what do you think the auto trans is worth? I believe it is a 727.
Response(s)
Emiliio, the 340/4sp will bolt right in if nothing has been changed from the factory parts. Drive line, trans bracket are all the same. Your 727 is worth about $150 for a core. Most guys wont buy one without a rebuild in mind. But you might get more.

OK, here we go, I bought a 71 runner with a 67 motor and trans. The adjustable linkage for the transmission was gone, a solid peace in place of it, I ordered the original adjustible linkage. The solid peace in the car now is 8 inches long. The one sent to me is 6 1/2 inches long. From center to center of the mounting points. Does anyone know the true length of the linkage from the steering column to the cross over linkage, and the one from the cross-over to the transmission center to center of the mounting points? I can not get the car into drive one, it will not operate the neutal saftey switch properly, and no back up lights
everything else checked out. THANKS

At this point seeing you are having all this problems, you might want to check with your nearest chrysler dealer, to see if they can give you a copy of the service page of the parts in question. Or maybe an auto transmission shop.
I think I got it figure out. The guy I bought the car from put in a 67 tranmission. The adjustable linkage is almost 8 inches long for this. the 71 linkage is about 6 inches long. That explains the solid linkage in this place. Now all the adjusting has to take place.

Hello, I have a 72 Road Runner. When I purchaced the vehicle, the rear bumper was off. I now want to put it on but can not figure out if there are any brackets that bolt onto the interior or exterior of the car. I have the large brackets that bolt on to the bumper itself around the light assemblies. Please let me know what I need in order to mount it on my car and where I can find it. Thank you.
Response(s)
they should bolt to either the back side of the car (outside) or the brackets attach to the sides of the frame. My 70 Road Runner brackets have 4 large bolts (2 on each side)that screw on into the back frame below the tail panel.

Sir, I have a 67 Dodge Charger. All # match. 383 4 barrel. After rebuild, starts, run great. cooling problem, original radiator, recored, flows 23 gal per min. HD 8 bladed water pump. Mopar thermostat 180 deg. no air, stock 4 blade fan was removed & 5 blade non-therm installed, plenty of air flow. All works good untill it's hot & in traffic even in nuteral will slowly rise & while I don't let it get to hot, go back to highway it will go down but very slowly. Motor has 10 to 1, Comp cam with 454 lift on intake & exhaust. Makes 400 hp. Will running the wrong plugs cause this (Champion 14Y)? I am running an 8 bladed pump. Am I running the wrong water pump, am I flowing to much water thus not cooling properly? Should I be looking for a cross flow alum rad % electric fan? When it's cool out 70 or below everything is good, when it's in the 50's it doesn't seem to get & stay warm enough. Yes, I have been thru 3 therostats, all work the same. Factory specs say 121/2 degrees in timing, I've been there, curently running at 81/2 btc. The motor has about 1500 miles on it with no other problems. Thank you for any info you have on this....Mark
Response(s)
I'm not familiar with the 67 B body set up, but my 70 Road Runner has a 7 blade clutch fan, fan shroud, distance of fan from radiator is about 1 inch. Thermostat is a 160 degree, check the lower hose make sure there is a metal coil inside to prevent it from collapsing, unless you have the hard ribbed hose. My problem was after driving and stopping the coolent inside the upper tank would boil (you could hear it) my problem was a bad fan clutch....if I'm not mistaken the earlier cars had something like a 160-165 degree thermostat, not like the newer cars which have about a 190 thermostat.
I have a couple of suggestions. First, find you a fan shroud for your radiator width (ebay) and install. Make sure the fan is about 50/50 (front to rear)in the shroud. Make sure your 180 degree thermostat is opening at 180 degree. Heat some water on your stove with the thermostat and a thermometer in the water and when the thermometer gets to 180 degree look to see that the thermostat is beging to open. As the water gets hotter, the thermostat should open more. Make sure your temperature gauge is also correct. Check with the hot water in a similar manner.

Hello! Any information would be greatly appreciated (68 RR, 4 spd). With the vehicle out of gear coasting at speeds between 35 and 70, I have a very good vibration in the car (the higher the speed the worse). When the car is put back in gear, the vibration goes away (or at least I can't feel it).
Response(s)
I would start with having wheels balanced then check the u-joints ,drive shaft, trans mount, suspention bushings.
I would suspect the drive shaft or rear transmission bushing. Maybe even the rear transmission mount.
I had the same problem with my 68, it ended up being a rotten trans mount, costed about 40 bucks to solve the problem |

Any 68-70 hard top roof will fit. As for which is the best way to go in replacing it, if you can replace the skin and bracing it would be a good idea to go that way. If not, replace at the factory seams.

| Question:
Hello, I have a 69 roadrunner hardtop 4-speed car that has no fender or dash tag. My uncle got this car in the mid 70's as a theft recovery from a junk yard. He is no longer alive and I've had the car in my garage for the last 11 years. It's never been titled and I received no paperwork with it. I believe it's a Hemi car. It has the welded in gussets in front of the leaf springs, dana 60, master cylinder relocating bracket, and coarse spline 4 speed. the radiator support ID numbers are gone or have been ground down at some point. It has no engine and the k-member is for a big block (not a Hemi) but they are bolt in. My uncle had told me that when he bought the car the drivetrain and the whole front end was gone but it was a hemi car. He lived a pretty unlawfull lifestyle so the car sat in his garage untouched for years. It does have the ID numbers on the trunk lip under the seal but this doesn't give me the first few that say what this car is. Is there anyway to verify what this car is and to possibly replace these tags. I've seen where you can get reproduction fender tags if you have the original (galen govier's site) but I have none. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Response(s)
I would try to check with your local police dept. To try to see if they have records going back that far, or where the car was reported stolen, and if you can get info regarding the vin# for your vehicle. The VIN# should be listed on the police report. PS...try to check with the junk yard if it's still around to see if they have records regarding the sale of your vehicle, they also should have the report number that car and maybe they have a copy of the bill of sale. If I were you I'd be kinda up set after doing all this work to find out the car is still listed as stolen and had not been recovered. Regarding the drive train, if you ordered the super trac pack, you would have those up grades. I had a 70 Challenger R/T single 4 barrel but the prior owner had ordered the super trac pack with his 440 magnum, I know it had 1 or 2 extra leaf springs per side, and the renforcement boxes. I have seen your options on 69 440+6 road runners. Good luck :o)
With all the number locations cut away it's really pointless if t was hemi a car or not you would need to reproduce all those areas and then explain why hoping the listener believes you. I agree with above to start with the police department of any area wher the car may have resided. If it's clear you can get titles froma few states. Georgia for example will title an older car after a VIN check, if you have proof of ownership i.e. bill of sale, bequeathment papers, etc.
Does your K-member have the skid plate? Its a roughly triangular shaped piece of steel welded on the bottom of the K-member, right in the middle. It was intended to provide added protection to the larger oil pans that ame on the Hemi and 440+6 engines. It was only used on cars with one of those engines. Good luck

1971 RR column shift 727 automatic, it had the wrong linkage to start with. Now it won't start in park or neutral. New switch and wire check is this week end. Anyone have the wiring diagram for the neutral saftey switch? Can use any informaton about the is thing. Adjusting and electriccal also. Thank You
Response(s)
Starter relay? also make sure the shifter on the trans is in park if it is off by one click, it will be in reverse when when the indicator says P, and in drive when the indicator says neutral. As for the diagram, there was a person selling a wiring diagram on ebay. Or if you can locate a Chilton's Road Runner Satellite repair and tune up guide it covers 1968-1973 B body cars, engines sizes 225 - 440. I got one off ebay about 2 years ago, to repair my 70 RR. Regarding your question, I'm only guessing that your car does not trun over at all when you turn on the key. If the motor turns over and will not start you might want to check the ballest resistor, and also check the coil wires + & - make sure the nuts are tight, connections from the dist to the plug in connectors.

I'm trying to find out the OEM routing of the ignition wires of the 440 Road Runner. I do not need to know the firing order sequence. It would be helpful to have a detailed picture of the original routing of the wires. Thanks, Sarah.
Response(s)
On my 70 Road Runner with a 383, the drivers side wires is first held on by a 4 spark plug holder that is bolted to the water outlet, then there is another holder located just below the valve cover. The wires are then attached to each spark plug. As for the passenger side 1 wire runs along the valve cover to the rear where it is attacted to a single holder and then attaches to the last spark plug. 3 spark plug wires run to the front of the block and there is another 3 spark plug wire holder below the valve cover that runs the remaining wires to the plugs. I have seen the wire holders on ebay and some mopar resto shops. My car uses the black rubber coated wire holders, and I have seen some with the hard plastic that is the block color...which one of these is correct for you car depends on what year you have....I have also seen the big blocks with wire holders on top the valve covers....You might want to find a friend who might have a resto book on your car to double check which holder is correct for your car.

NEUTRAL SAFTEY SWITCH 71 Road Runner
Can anyone give me some insite as how to adjust the neutral saftey switch on a 71 RR 383,,727 trans? Starts in neutal with some shifter shaking, will not start in park. I have some minimal wear on the leakage, not enough to change any settings I don't think. THANK YOU
Response(s)
You need to adjust the swivel rod assembly, located under the car. Just loosen the screw and move it a little to the front or back until you get the correct setting to start the car in park. If I'm not mistaken all the rods under the console are fixed and cannot be adjusted. This applies to column and floor mounted shifters...The floor mounted shifter should have the swivel rod about center of the drivers floor and the column should be nearer to the drivers side frame. I hope this helps :o)

I have just rebuilt my 68 Road Runner 383. I have problems maintaining a decent idle RPM before and after warmup and it is running very rich. I've checked for vacuum leaks with starting fluid around the carb and intake ...all seems to be O.K. During the rebuild I put in a 286* .474 lift purple shaft but I retained the stock headers and intake. I switched out the 600 CFM Edelbrock for a 750 Holley but it didn't help. The engine lopes at about 400 RPM ....just barely stays lit at stop lights. Any suggestions?
Response(s)
If your seeing black smoke out the exhaust that tells me something wrong with the carb. Needs to be tuned , also check the choke and make sure its opening after reaching operating temp.
I used this cam and found my engine had very little manifold vacuum,check your vacuum and make sure the powervalve in your holley is rated lower than the vacuum

| Question:
Hopefully somone can help me. I've got a '71 RR with an Air Grabber hood. When I turn the switch to the "open" position the door does not open. What I have to do is manually open the door, then it will stay open. I believe it's hooked up correctly because if I'm driving with the door open, and move the switch to the "closed" position, the door will close. If I move the switch back to the "open" position before the door closes, the the door returns to the open position. If the door comes to rest in the closed position, I have to open it manually again. I removed the spring that assists in closing the door thinking that this was overpowering the vacuum signal, this hasn't helped.
Thanks in advance.
Response(s)
Have you checked on how much vaccum your car is making? Are you connecting the vaccum line to the rear of the intake manifold, there is a fitting that usually connects the power brake booster, and another small nipple for the air grabber vaccum hose. I had almost the same problem, for some reason if I connected the vaccum can to the air grabber hose my air grabber would not open. But if I capped off the large nipple on the vaccum can, the air grabber would open and close...I checked the vaccum can under pressure, and placed it under water and could not find a leak. My lines have a green line, another has a yellow line and the 3rd has a white line. I suggest you put the spring back on, when you hit about 60 to 65 mph the air grabber door will open because of the under hood air pressure, or you will see it slowly rise as you increase speed and close as you slow down. My RR holds a steady 24# on the vaccum gauge, I know if you go to a bigger cam, you will loose vaccum, which affects the power brakes and other vaccum accessorys. I hope this helps :o)
Thanks for the response. I've got to get under the hood again this weekend. My car has manual drums, so there is a single port, on tha rear of the intake manifold, that I am drawing vacuum from. I have changed the cam, but it is a 284*/.484 lift Purple Shaft. I would think that I would be provided with enough vacuum still. BTW, the hood was not on the car prior to cam swap.
I have not chacked the vacuum with a guage, I wouldn't even know what is required to get it to open. I will put the return spring back on when I get this ironed out, I don't want to make it any tougher right now. Perhaps I'll romove the can, and try and preasure test it, and maybe use another vacuum source. My repro lines have the same color combos as yours. There is probably another source at the base of the carb. Thanks alot for the suggestions.
Thanks for the info on the vacuum signal at the carb base as opposed to the manifold. I'll get under the hood this w/e and try a few things. Thanks again. |

Two questions. #1- I have a 1971 Plymouth GTX that should have a "Longitudal Stripe". What is it and where on the car is it located? #2- What is the function of a rally dash liniter?
Response(s)
The Longitudal Stripe is the pin stripe that runs from the front of the car down the side to the rear just about 1 inch above the brake line or ridge on the body panels.
The dash limiter is a voltage limiter that drops the 12 volts to 5-6 volts. This reduced voltage is typically used for the fuel and temperature gauges. If the limiter is bad, the gauges will normally not work at all or read very high.

Response(s)
Go to the library.Its free.You can also go to ClassicWiring.com and get a colored,laminated diagram for about $16.00. Good luck
One item that is a common problem is the pickup coil in the distributor. If you have an ohm meter, unplug the two wire connector at the distributor and check for about 500 ohns of resistance across the distributor leads. If you read an open, the coil is bad. Replace and set the clearance between the reluctor and pickup coil with a brass feeler gage to factory specs.
I had a 76 Aspen R/T at one time and exactly the same thing happened. It was the ballast resistor, the little 4 inch long 3/4 inch wide thing on the firewall. Mine was encapsulated so you could not see the coil wire was bad. Replace it for under $10 and see if that fixes your problem. |

of H4X on his 1966 Plymouth Belvedere, so if anyone can decode that for me as well, and tell me what the "H" and "4" mean, we would be greatly appreciative. (I know the the "X" suffix denotes a black color.) Also, if anyone can point me to a good Mopar fender tag decoding web site, that would also be great.

You had the answer. P6W is P - Premium, 6 - Vinyl and W - White.
H4X is H - High Back, 4 - Vinyl split bench with armrest, X - White and black

| Question:
I have a question about hooking up a 1966 console tach with an external sending unit in a 1967 Plymouth GTX. I was told that there were two different types of tachs with the same face, the one with the external sending unit was for a 1966,
and the one with an internal sending unit was for a 1967, so if I had known that before I had bought it, I would not have bought that one, but that is water under the bridge now, so now that I have the 1966 type tach, I would like installation, mounting, and wiring instructions for how to hook up the 1966 type tach in my 1967 GTX. This is a console mounted tach, and I have a console and automatic floor shifter in the car. Any help that you can provide to me would be greatly appreciated.
Response(s)
This also for the Chargers. Your gonna need a 66 factory electical diagram, wiring ( best is from a donar car ) and the remote sending unit can.
there are replacement sending units out there- one that comes to mind is from Greg. go here!

Do all 1969 Road Runner's have front seats with headrests? Or, were some made without headrests?
Response(s)
According to Galen Govier's documentation of my car, headrests came standard after Jan. 1, 1969
The early birds of 69 had headrests as an option. The law mandated that anything manufactured Jan 1 69 and beyond had to have them.

I have a 69 Sport Satellite with a 383/335HP with numbers matching the Vin number that I am restoring. I need to raise the front end about an inch to get the height I want for looks. How can this be done?
Response(s)
if you look at the bottom of the lower control arms you will notice a hex bolt. Tightening this bolt (actually an adjusting stud) will raise the car. A shop manual will give you the factory recommended ride height measurements but you can raise it up from there if you like. Be aware that any adjustments made will alter the front end geometry and require a new alignment be performed as well.

I am hoping you can tell me where I could find the following: I have a drivers side trim piece at the very end of the post coupe missing. Any idea if I can buy just it or do I need to buy all the pieces? Where can I get this? I also have a small 1/4" hole in both doors, what is this for? and do they make a plug or something for it? Lastly, I have a buddy seat that is not installed in the car, any idea where I can get the mounting hardware, etc for it? I appreciate all of your help. Brad

TRY AUTO BODY SPECIALTIES NUMBER 888-277-1960, AS FAR AS THE HOLES WHAT YEAR AND BODY STYLE CAR DO YOU HAVE.
1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Post Coupe
If the holes are at the top og the doors by the vent windows they are the mounting holes for the mirrors. It took a single stud from the mirror mount with a nut on the on the inside of the to hold it in place. |

I recently purchased a 70 Road Runner with an Air Grabber. The AG is not in place and I am searching directions/guide any type of literature that would tell me the parts that are required and how to install.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Brad
Response(s)
Brad, there is a B body resto book out, I don't know if it lists the parts that are required. Might want to check with Wilson Productions, they have a lot of parts for the airgrabber. Parts needed for the airgrabber, air grabber door, 2 pins, 2 C-clips, 2-double hinges (open and close air grabber, right and left side) 1-flapper door and rod, 2-roll pins, 2-end cap covers, 1-actuator bracket, 1 actuator, 1-assit spring for actuator, (1 small carter pin, 1 washer) to fasten actuator to flapper door rod. 1 underhood air box with is 2 pieces, 1 air cleaner seal. Also there is 2 small seals under the airgrabber about 6 inches long left and right side, air grabber vaccum hose, each hose has a diff color, green, yellow, white..and also, the vaccum can that mounts on the passenger side of the firewall. And make sure you have the correct vaccum fitting, mounts to the rear of the intake manifold, 1 small nipple for non power brkae cars, 1 small nipple + 1 large nipple for power brake cars..the small nipples vary depending on the what kind of vaccum operated parts you have on the car...
OK, I found the book "Charger, Road Runner & Super Bee Restoration Guide" by Motorbooks. I think this site might have this book.
Winged Warriors has a web site that has a diagram of the air grabber flapper seals and how to trim them to fit. Anybody know where to get the spin nuts that hold the box to the hood and the screws that mount the flapper(lid) to the box |

What is the average cost of a frame off restoration for a 1972 Plymouth Road Runner?
Thanks
Response(s)
Every car is different depending on condition but the 71-72 cars may be more expensive to restore based on the fact that there are fewer parts available for them as compared to the 68-70's. There is no way to say what is an "average cost" for a resto becasue you never know what you are getting into until you yank it all apart and see if there are any hidden problems.
I've been restoring my 72 roadrunner for 5 yrs.I had to redo the whole rear frame.I replace it with a sub frame with a 4 link rear end. But i had to replace the whole floor.Which you can get from, The Paddock.Just to make short it is very expensive,I have spend close to $28,000.00.and i am not done yet still need to find a passenger front fender.it's not cheap to restore this 72 roadrunners.any questions email me.
please do not say frame off when talking about mopars.Because there is really no such thing they are unibodys body the body and frame are one .if you go to a body shop and say that the price will double |

Anybody know of any kind of picture guide or drawings, showing the correct location and angle of Road Runner decals on a base model 1970?
Response(s)
You might want to try "Charger, Road Runner & Super Bee Restoration Guide" by Motorbooks..I had to use that book to restore my 70 RR..I'm pretty sure it did not give the decals exact locations, just pics of the cars with the decals..For the exact locations I think your going to need a plymouth parts book, about 12 years ago there was a mag out called Chrysler Power Mag, I saw a few tech sheets in the back showing the locations and placement of the decals for various mopars. Guessing that you said base model, 1 bird on the drivers inside door, 1 running bird on both front fenders. As for the rear trunk, I've only seen 70 RR with the stripe and the bird on the passenger rear housing ext., but a friend told me that a few 70 RR came with only the standing bird, and no trunk stripe.....If your going to put the dust trail on the sides, you might want to get help, I did mine and it was something trying to get it straight...of course my was a back yard resto, that I did myself....hope this helps :o)
Rick: Contact mopar graphics.com I believe that is the right e-mail address. If not contact me and I will research it further.

I have had my 73 318 for 26 years. It came stock with a Carter 2 bbl not a Holley. I put a Holley on it once but I have found that Stock is always best.

Does any know where I can obtain sheet metal for a 1971 Road Runner such as quarter panels, front fenders, and front and read lower fascias?
Response(s)
auto body specialties was planning on making a two piece 1/4 starting this summer but i haven't checked on this. I have a 71 fender on my 72 but won't part with it till I can replace it. Real 1/4s are hard to find and expensive. Fenders can be found this site is full of info. Check with Tony's in DE. I believe thats the name of the place and he had fenders earlier this year.
11/3/7 called autobody specialties, coming in July a full o/e style quarter panel. Larson's will also be making a 3/4 repair panel
