It is not the original mud that was sprayed on the car. But I used truck bedliner spray on. I am very happy with it. The sand in it is not like sandpaper by using a large bottom feed can gun from harbor freight. With two wands that is one 360 and the other 180. Painted frame rails in engine bay...

My car marks its spot so figure it is a Chrysler thing. New gaskets everywhere. Did find leak coming from the rear valve cover gasket. New cork also a thin layer of gray sealant. Not enough to worry about. Even pulled the manual trans. and put new seals in it. Still leaked. Fallowed the leak...

Thanks to all of you for such a hart warming expression by my roadrunner brothers. Hope you all have a safe day and keep on driving the wheels of those runners. Russ. :thumbsup2:

Do you have the original fan in the car. I put a five-blade fan in mine, and it just did not do what the seven-blade dose. Must have a shroud also. 160 Thermostat is about what you need. If I am not wrong 16 psi pressure cap. Wish you luck. I had to switch out the heads on my 383 to aluminum...

Has anyone done the Auburn gear swap or something like it. If so, which one have you gone with. Looking for a limited slip swap so have better traction. I see EATON-Auburn and others even summit is selling one of their own. Well looking for the best for the buck. Our open diffs are subject to...

When restoring the car had my wiper motor fixed. It still works but have lost the high speed any ideas on what it could be. Switch or what else. Thanks for any input, Russ.

Nice Runner.

My Runner was a four-speed manual car, but someone had put a 727 trans in it. I like the console so went that rout with bucket seats. It was not a number matching car any ways different motor and automatic came in it. I had to buy another 383 motor due to having to open bore up much to my...

Sorry to hear that. But 5 years is a good run on the old one. I am running a red top batterie. Kind of like the looks of it but not cheap. Batterie plus is where I got it.

This is the only thing I don't have and looking to get one in the future. I thought read somewhere the three speeds sit different than a two speed. Also, something to do with the arms mechanical parts is this true. Good luck looks like the other guys gave you some good info.

Forced into buying a set of aluminum heads for my 383. The 906 ones got a crack in it between 5 and seven leaking on the outside. Bought a set of 440 source heads and are aluminum. Now the motor runs much cooler than before. Did not have to change the push rod size mine worked fine. Standard...

Welcome from me. Yea pics please. :thumbsup2:

Micky Thopsons. R/T's Have run them for years and my preference for tires. :thumbsup2:

Wheel wood brakes on mine up front and drum on the back. It works really well. No spindle replacement. Did this because the car was hard to stop with drums up front. Don't remember what year they started with that combo. Have fun brother.

We just need to start making things in the USA again. I am for the making in USA. But Unions have driven up the price of the product. Everything has its place but can get out of control also. Dep. and EPA. Also have had a large effect on price of things here. Overreach by some agency's is also a...
