1969 Hemi roadrunner with SuperTrack Pack.Recently running on an expressway and slowing to my exit the car sustained a complet brake failure, after few seconds that the dash brake light had momentarily turned on and off. I was able to stop safely and, after a change of underwear,I had the car...

on my 69 Hemi the specs are: with the vacuum advance line disconnected and plugged, at idle the setting is 12.5 degrees of advance. Now as far as what unit to buy, I got mine at Napa and it has an adjustable zero setting for ease of reading, and I think it's of the inductive type. Look for a...

On my 69 I was able to stick my hand inside the fender with the passenger door open about half way, but my hands are pretty small and it was not easy anyway.

Yes, there are two. One is called 'street' Hemi orange, and the other is called 'race' Hemi orange, and it has more of a reddish color.

Very nice looking 69,!

No pop-up springs were available with rubber on top. Several years ago on a similar question somebody's found that a rubber insert was available for a dodge small SUV. Unfortunately, I don't recall the model or year, maybe some member can chime in. I found one in a local yard, and I have it at...

I noted that! Also, I think all 69 hemis came with an air grabber and no round air cleaner, but those are details. Not to mention chrome valve covers; nice car though.

The main thing that bothers me is the performance hood treatment, i.e. the black is way too shiny and does not look good at all , at least for me.

Yes, this is an old question. I know the general location, just would like to see some examples. I ended up putting about 1/2 in. from the reservoir. Thank you.

can anybody post a photo showing the underhood location for the emission decal in a 68 model? Thank you!

Actually, it appears that the suspension cam assemblies are body color, instead of natural steel, the two little removable ports nearby should be painted black, and many small firewall items have also been painted. Not a big deal and easily fixed, if you are as picky as me!

Nice underhood paint, but you painted some items that should not be body colored....

Well, if I were picky, I would say that the battery and the upper radiator clamps have been molested, and the door lock buttons did not come in chrome from the factory, but thankfully I am not picky! In truth this is a great find anyway; not easy after about 50 years, congrats!

Actually I think they are made of aluminum.

I took an old accelerator spring, enlarged few coils to fit the slots in the plastic pieces, and cut off a single coil. I then put the two plastic halves around the ball and locked them in place with the cut coil. They cannot fall off now.
