Well, I finally got to take the '68 Roadrunner to a show, some 50 miles away. Got half way there, then a slight vibration began. Within a half mile, had to stop. It appears that the bushing? in the tail housing failed. Tail housing got so hot it burned off the paint. Have not torn down yet, but...

I need some feedback from original roadrunner owners with the A833 tranny. I believe I have a 491 8 3/4, but not a sure grip. As some of you know, I just got all my issues resolved and got to drive the car finally. I have only put 6 or 8 miles on it, but have noticed that first gear feels alot...

Back in the early 70s, a friend of mine was lonely driving around one night and saw a nice 69 Super Bee making the drag in town. A cute blond was behind the wheel and he somehow managed to get her to pull over. They talked and talked for an hour, and he got the nerve up to ask her out. She...

Well of course another issue. Guages do not work and the fuse is blown to the "instrument" circuit. Checked the circuit and it has a 4 Ohm short. Took the shifter out and seat to get my big ass under the dash to try and find the problem. This is the reason I removed the dash and checked out as...

Just want ideas on how hard or how much it will cost me to fix a tranny leak. Got the 68 RR running and supposedly got a rebuilt A-833 with the car, but even at an idle, pukes out a 6 or 8 inch puddle within a few minutes out the front of the tranny. Guess they have a seal of some sorts in...

Does anyone have a part number or photo for the Z bar I should have on my 68 RR/383? One problem after another after getting so close to done. Looks like the Z bar I used or the clutch fork is incorrect, for they don't line up (aprox 1 inch off) and have issues with clearance. I did go with 2...

Oh the drama never ends. Looks like the short block I got with my 68 roadrunner will not accept the pilot shaft bushing. Probably was an automatic engine from the factory? You guys are the experts, so tell me what I should do. Do I shop around for a pilot shaft bushing that will match the crank...

Just received my 68 RR headliner from Year One (waited 5 weeks for it) and I think there is a problem. There are 7 "seams" and with 6 headliner bows, doesn't make much sense. The rear seam is at the end of the material in the middle of the headliner, and the third from the rear seam does not...

Anyone else heard of the Dept of Agriculture now purchasing ammo and automatic rifles with 30 round clips? Guess they are going to take farm land back now. Does this bother anyone else? Maybe getting ready for Martial Law, needing all federal employees to help with confiscation of citizens arms...

OK, I know there are tons of posts/answers on this, but just so I get it right on the money finally. I'm going to order some Keystone Klassics for my RR project. OK, there it is. Just so I get a few responses for MY application, my car does not have power steering nor does it have power brakes...

The old guy I got my '67 440 HP from the other day called me and told me to come get some more parts, because he thought He got the better end of the deal. OK, this guy has hoarded some Mopar stuff for 40 years, so I'm in! He showed me a bunch of heads and told me to load them up. I left a...

Have an old man that wants me to try to use the disc brake setup off a F-body on my car (for free). It's a dodge Aspen, didn't know if I could use anything off it to convert the RR to discs. Would definately be cheap enough if it would work. Just asking if anyone had tried it before? Same bolt...

Looks like I got the shaft again from the previous owner, only have one motor mount (passenger I think) with the parts for the 68 RR. My question is, I know you can but the mount insulator with the bottom part, but is the upper bracket that bolts onto the block available?

Oh hell, I know it's a dumb question, but I'm not so familiar with manual trannies. Anyone got photos/diagrams on what linkage parts are needed on the 4 speed setup? Trying to figure out if I have all the needed/correct parts before I get that far along. Any photos/help with be appreciated...

Buddy of mine has been looking for a 68-70 charger for me. He drives a tow truck and sent me this photo of a 74 he towed, drunk kid, plowed into another car, no insurance. The worst of it is that he told me about a woman who owned several cars and her health is failing, so he took me by (after...

I have known an old man, some 20 miles north of me for many years. He is an old Mopar fanatic (80 plus yrs old), and he showed me a 440HP engine lying on the ground that he pulled out of a power wagon he built. He told me he had built the engine, 60 over with a 505 lift cam and was too radical...

I'm having hell getting the wiper assembly put together on my project. I got an incorrect motor with the car, and no arms, ect. I purchased a 68 Roadrunner used motor and arms off ebay, and the motor worked and arms seemed to fit correctly, but the hole in the main arm that goes on the motor...

The 68 I'm working on came with the tail lights, but no sockets. Anyone know a supplier of these items? A photo of them might help me know what I'm looking for, and another question, the wiring harness has three conductors, a double plug and a single. Thought the single was for the outside...

I know I saw something on here about the measurements and locations of the stripes, but can't find it now. Getting ready to paint the stripes this weekend, can anyone clue me in? Thanks! :soap:

Went to visit one of my employees in Bagdad, Az. the other day and was talking about roadrunners. I told him about one I should have bought a few years ago for a very good price. A guy had a '69, with a 440 HP & a 4 speed that just needed a paint job for $6000, and came with the original 383...
