Got some new window sweeps for the 70rr and it is a post car. Should be doing the vertical window channel guides as well,but do I have to remove the vertical window guide with the wing window or can I put the sweeps in without removing it?…Thanks!!

Drove the car out of the shop yesterday and got home and saw this! Repair or Replace? Is it a tuff replace? Thanks!

Kept thinking that the reason for the oil pan gasket area all the way around showing wet was possibly a bad install on the gaskets. But the fuel pump gasket and bolt underneath it were found be leaking and that fuel was wetting the whole contact area of the gaskets and pan. Gotta take it out for...

I have got for sure a couple of freeze plugs that are very questionable. One of them is behind the 383 starter and maybe one over on the passenger side,but not all are bad. I guess my question is: Is it possible to pull out the bad ones while the motor is in? Just can’t see any time in the near...

Hey guys! Just put in a new underdash harness and all appears to be hooked up right and also a new ammeter gauge. With the previous harness the fire hazard that it was i only had the fuel and oil pressuure gauges working,now they all work. The gauge in question is the temp gauge which...

Brought this up awhile back,but I would like to revisit the problem. Ammeter took a dump a while back so on advice of some forum folks I spliced both wires together and currently they are in an accessible spot hanging under the dash. I can reach over on a drive and can barely touch them because...

Got on the bird yesterday and discovered that here in the desert that it takes a huge toll on battery's and anything rubber. That said,went and had the 2year old NAPA battery tested and it had a dead cell. A new battery from Interstate took care of that. Now the goofy part,the floor dimmer...

Well I did the advised test to see if the water temp gauge is dead or the sending unit and when I hooked the temp gauge wire to the battery ground and turned the key,nothing! The gauge did not peg out. I suppose without pulling the gauges and testing directly I might be just chasing my tail. Any...

I don’t believe I’ve ever had a vehicle with a fan clutch. I have seen them on other old cars,but not sure how it works and if it’s more good than not. My big block runs quite warm,but 110* doesn’t help either…. Thanks!

The 70 Roadrunner I have says on the actual fender tag for color:Eb7. I have heard some call this Jamaica Blue but all that I have seen has told me it’s a lot closer to a B5 and or Dark blue metallic. Here’s a picture of what may have been an original color and what it is now on the trunk lid...

Any of my fellow mopar brothers ever just replaced the rear sail panels L/R? Or have you just done the whole headliner with them as well? Is it a big job that requires more hands than i have?....Thanks!

Never tried it but always wondered if on a leaf springed B-body if you could get any benefit to running a adjustable coilover shock on the rear or would it be too stiff and put undue stress on the body mount?...Ideas please and thanks!!

The motor starts good other than the usual throat clearing. Went looking for my timing light and wanted to see where it was at. The shop put in a electronic setup in the distributor and a better coil. I checked it with the light all warmed up and idling(forgot to pull the vacuum hose and...

What is the best way to mount the factory headrests on factory split bench seats? The existing seats do not have any headrests or signs of any past ones. I’ve seen them at Classic Ind. but there has to be more to mounting them than meets the eye. Any ideas please!!

Went to a small Mopar gathering at my local Chrysler/Dodge dealer yesterday and their were a nice handful of classic mopar muscle on hand. I was getting ready to back into my spot and the guy next to my other favorite mopar a 69 bee had a modern day charger and he pulled out of his spot and said...

Anyone out there attempted to repaint their stock steelie wheels form a car color to a gloss or satin finish and what was your expierience with that. I've seen some of the black wheels on here of members and thought they make the car look a little more badass,for lack of a better term. Anyway...

Any other mopar guys out there ever felt the frustration with the old wiring harnesses in our time machines to just toss them out and start with new?

Looking for a really good shock for the 70 B-body that is firm with good ride quality. Whether the same all around or different front and rear. Currently I have KYB gas charged,but don’t know how old they are.

Do you all have some input on moving the shifter(factory) to the floor from the column? Seems like their may be more to it than just getting the parts together. It’s the torqueflite in the 70RR. As it is now I have the split bench seats which would require a set of buckets instead,which may be a...

I never gave this a whole lot of thought till yesterdays ride down to the hot rod shop. I was on the freeway and smelled what seemed like electrical/plastic burning. I got to the shop and my mechanic took a look as well and no smell. He said it was well worth the cost of a fire extinguisher in...
