    Trans Fluid 727

    I use B&M Trick Shift. My transmission is a B&M 727 with a custom torque converter, that is mounted behind a 1000 hp Indy engine, and the Trick Shift works extremely well. Zero slippage with solid shifts... no jerking, just solid shifts. I also have the Gear Vendor unit mounted to the backside...

    69 Road Runner fuel line breather hose

    Back in the day (the late 60's and early 70's) we'd often add a second breather tube directly off the filler tube and, using a T-fitting, tie into the stock breather tube, thereby eliminating any fuel sloshing up through the original breather tube and onto the ground in front of the rear...

    Aluminum Radiator

    I have a Griffin Exact-Fit radiator, with dual 12-inch electric fans and a custom stainless shroud in my 69 Road Runner It does an excellent job maintaining an acceptable temperature. I've had it out in scorching heat (100 +) with the AC on and the temp will run between 200 and 215. The engine...

    The Greek Roadrunner is finally here!

    I just loved viewing all your photos. This is the beginning of quite an adventure. Have patients and absolutely have a plan and have fun!! My Road Runner had more rust than paint and at least twenty pounds of body filler plus a completely worthless drivetrain. That was eight years ago and now...

    Fuel vapor separator.

    My fuel vapor canister is located in the trunk next to the amp and behind the speaker casing. I have two separate vapor tubes (from the upper portion of the tank and from the fuel filler tube) that connect via a T-fitting, then go into the canister, then exits the canister, through the trunk...

    I need a power steering conversion kit for a 68 hemi....Where can i get one that is a complete assembly??? Please Help

    I have a Borgeson steering box that bolts right in; an Ididit tilt steering column; belt driven power steering mounted directly behind the AC compressor. You can get all this as a kit or piece it together. With exception of the steering box and column, I went the kit route to be sure everything...

    452 heads

    It's all about compression, especially if you reside in California, where premium is only 91. I have a 572 Indy Head Max Wedge 750 HP and 775 lbs. of torque. It's 10.5.1 and runs great on California premium. Fuel is fed through an EZ FAST 2.0 system with eight injectors. It's a solid lifter...

    Beep Beep!

    You must be kicking yourself for parting with, what looks like, a nice Road Runner. My first 69 Road Runner was purchased brand new in November of 1968 for a whopping $2974 out the door. It was an ivy green post car with the decor' package. I had to part with it in 1971 due to new regulations...

    69 side mirror

    There are several different outside mirrors versions. An optional mirror setup was dual mirrors with the driver-side being adjustable from the inside by a cable. The photo is the setup with the driver-side adjustable mirror.

    I am getting ready to level the front and rear on my 69 Road Runner (note: it's got the hemi leaf springs - six leaf springs on the driver side and 7 on the passenger side). The passenger front is approximately 1/2 inch too low, and the rear passenger side is also approximately 1/2 inch too low...

    Found myself a great 69 Road Runner

    Your Road Runner brings back some fond memories. I just wrapped up my 69 Road Runner project. Ivy green post car with black horizontal stripes and all black leather interior. Back in November of 1968 O decided I’d buy a Road Runner. I came close to buying a used 68 black Hemi car with low miles...

I recently discovered the fuel gauge does not work (Needle moves back and forth from empty to full)!!?? All electrical tested and is good. I‘ll be...

    Mallory EI and ballast resistor

    When I redid everything on my 69 Road Runner, it included a complete re-wiring of the entire electrical system (front to back, engine bay and under dash). The shop where the build took place said because it was a complete renovation and upgraded system, everything had changed.

    Mallory EI and ballast resistor

    The ballast resister you are referring to is part of the original stock electrical system where gobs of amps were passed through the amp gauge and would typically be the culprit for under dash fires. Most of us who have significantly upgraded our electronics, including the addition of a volt...
