The rear window stainless steel molding on my '69 Roadrunner has a screw on both ends to keep the stainless strip mounted. Some genius drilled a hole on each corner of the molding to make sure the strip stays mounted. My question is two part. 1) Can the holes be filled and then polished to...

Does anyone have an opinion as to WHICH shock absorber is the BEST one on the market for a 1969 Roadrunner??? I think I have gotten all the use out of the ones in the car....................... Any and all comments highly appreciated. LG, Mike

Is a series production number 128303 considered an EARLY 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner??? Thanks, LG, Mike

Hi, nothing new here. I'm sure this topic has been dealt with before. I'm trying to decode the fender tag. NOT that big of a deal of what it stands for because I'm NOT going to change anything on my jewel. I'm just curious as to what I really have. I have the VIN decoded. Attached is a lousy...

What is the best spark plug to use on a 1972 400CI motor with Comp 268 high energy cam; 346 casting heads; Edelbrock performance RPM intake; 3310 Holley 750 cfm carb; and MSD Street Fire ignition. Also, what should the spark plug gap be. Attached are pictures of the Autolite AP 85 spark plugs...

Has anyone had a positive result using a water base paint to touch up a rear fender small repair. I'm trying to match the body of my 1969 Roadrunner Omaha orange paint color. It is a small repair and the water base paint I purchased does NOT seem to match. It also seems to come off fairly...

I finally took care of my transmission leak. It was coming from the Neutral Safety Switch. It appears that the NSW does NOT come with the "O" ring that is required to make it function properly. The NSW vendors ONLY supply the switch and the CUPPED washer that houses the "O" ring. NEEDLESS to...

It seems like the IVR4 limiter does NOT go all the way into the dash. ¿ Do the prongs have to be modified to make them seat all the way down ? It's been a while since I installed it. I guess I can try and find the stock limiter that I removed and see how long the prongs are. I'm trying to...

I learned a lot reading about the sender leaking gas on this site. I'm experiencing the same issue. My sender is leaking quite a bit of gas with a full tank of gas. I drained approx 14 gallons today and overflowed my Kia Soul and still added gas to my Sportage and still have the 5 gallon gas...

Working on a COLD garage floor- What are the best locations for placing jack stands on a '69 Roadrunner in order to lower the rear axle to make room for removing the gas tank sending unit. I will most likely also incorporate my Rhino ramps (never too much safety) and will also remove the tires...

Well, it NEVER ends...……….that's what keeps me young...……….LOL I replaced the ignition switch. Next thing to go was the starter. All I get is a loud CLICK. So, I purchased a RECONDITIONED mini high torque starter. The parts guy could not tell me who the manufacturer is...…….running the...

Well, I've owned my DREAM CAR for four years now. Needless to say, it has NEVER seen water nor did I ever think I would ever drive it in the rain...……………...LOL That all changed a couple of weeks ago when it was scheduled to rain for the first few hours on the day of ONE OF MY FAVORITE car...

WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING- I have a question about the ignition switch. I noticed that at certain times I loose the fuel gauge due to the ignition key making contact in a certain way. I wiggle the key and the gauge comes back to normal. I figure it is a 50/50 proposition......it is either the...

Well, I think I finally did it. Hopefully, I will not have to work on this transmission for many, many years to come. Attached is a short slide show of my last work. I ended up PLUGGING the stock vent on the pump and relocating it to the tail housing. Then I ran a vent hose to the dip...

THIS IS FOR AN "AIR GRABBER" SET UP............ Condition is NOT important as long as it is functional. Descent price is mandatory.......... Thanks, LG, Mike

I have an input shaft that fits the wide bushing stator with the NARROW sleeve. I was told by a transmission guru that the NARROW sleeve input shaft does NOT take the lower seal ring on the shaft. To run it without it. Can anyone confirm this?? Getting to the bottom of my transmission...

I guess I will know for sure soon since I'm going to tear down this tranny once and for all in the nearby future. Still, I'm curious if anyone has had the issue I have. The transmission SLIPS in manual FIRST just like it does in DRIVE. It takes a LOT of RPM to get the car moving from a dead...

Well, the more I think about it, I should have kept the four speed transmission. This "TCI" Street Fighter automatic is getting to be the transmission from "hell"! Everything was "pichee keen" until the torque converter sprung a leak. I'm on the THIRD torque converter and that issue was...

Well, still fighting this 1977 Chrysler A727 TCI Streetfighter auto/manual transmission. It worked great until I had T/C issues. First one sprung a leak at the weld. The second one had internal problems which caused trans fluid to burp out of the vent hole on cold starts- too much fluid drain...

UDATE- Well, this is getting to be the TRANS from HELL................LOL Going on TWO years since I had this "TCI" TF727 trans professionally installed......... A few days of being parked in my garage revealed that the TRANS had leaked fluid all over the garage under the transmission. Further...
