My misconception about the '70 Road Runner.
By SteveSS
There were no '70 RRs in my town of 10,000. A couple of '68s. I perceived that yellow side stripe as a measuring tape not the Road Runner's dust trail. Never saw a close up of it.

Cant find 1971 Charger RALLY Dash turn signal plug
By 70ChallyRT
I have found the emergency flasher plug and it will blink both left and right turn signals like it should. However I cannot find my turn signal plug with black and red wires. The symptom is, left and right turn signals will light, but not blink. Yes, I am running LED lights. I also found another plug with 2 yellow and 2 orange wires which is supposed to be a time delay relay for the instrument panel. I know these turn signal wires are switched by the radio wires, but I still cannot locate... Read more
I can't ID this dash noise when I turn right.. really wierd.
By MikeyM
Hi all, I have this light noise (light thunk/clack combined?) behind the instrument cluster only when I return the steering wheel from right turns. It's more pronounced the faster the wheel returns and sounds like something loose might be caught on whatever turns in the steering column behind the dash. Then when I return the wheel from right hand turns only, it sounds like some small piece contacts the cluster or metal dash. Like taking a piece of plastic and dropping it onto the metal... Read more
HV Oil pumps
By Nathan1965
I need a opinion on a life long question. i have a 383 in my 65 coronet and i have a hv and hp pump. it has a 7 qt pan and i want to put a factory 5 qt pan on it. Do i need switch pumps? the car is getting a a833 od in it and its not a drag car put i do wanna tack it up every once and awhile. 6000 rpm tops. would setting a rv limiter help and run a different oil? i run 10w40 rn and can i get 6 in a factory pan?
1964 Barracuda targa top protype??
By RSMS
I was pretty sure this would be posted somewhere but I didn't see it. What are your thoughts on this, think it was done "in-house"? This 1964 Plymouth Barracuda is a one-off design study that was modified when new by Chrysler stylists, who transformed it into a targa-style “Landau” version with a removable fabric roof panel. Finished in Gold over gold-colored vinyl upholstery, the car is powered by a 273ci V8 linked with a push-button three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes... Read more

Sundays......
By eldubb440
There was about a 5 year span, lets say '83-'88; when my 2 friends and I all had real jobs, ages 18-23ish. We pretty much dedicated Sunday's to working on our cars. Very few Sundays passed without someone's car getting attention. Sunday was car day. So today, the first Sunday after Carlisle, I promised myself every Sunday for the foreseeable future, work on my GTX will move forward. Much of it was done 20-25 years ago and I had it pretty far along. I bought all sorts of stuff along the... Read more
Who wants brighter headlights?
By Kern Dog
We don't always drive in just the daylight. Who wants brighter headlights? A couple years back, I added the headlight relay kit offered by a fellow FABO/FBBO member. This kit is strongly recommended if you have standard sealed beam headlights but considering the drastic reduction in current needed to power LED lights, I don't see why the relays would be necessary. I had sealed beams for years but changed over to Hella H1 and H4 headlights. The H1 are a... Read more

68-70 Convertible Spare Tire Location
By PurpleBeeper
Isn't this spare tire location wrong on a 70 Road Runner convertible? I thought they went over on the passenger side of the trunk on 68-70 convertibles and this is the hardtop location, correct? Am I dreaming?
1968 Charger - Rear Window Plastic Trim??
By WikedCharger
I'm getting ready to install the rear window in my 1968 Charger. I'm installed the new trim clips and the plastic trim that goes around the window. It looks like everything fits except the two corner pieces. They do not look like they fit at all. Are they supposed to be trimmed to fit? Also it looks like each corner piece has 2 holes in it. What does it screw into? Does it screw into the other plastic trim pieces? Also, with this plastic trim installed, there does not seem to be much... Read more
Where to find 1968 Coronet RT Engine Numbers?
By NHRoadrunner
I recently acquired a 1968 Coronet RT. The seller said it was not numbers matching. The tag gives it a SPD of A12, so October 12, 1967. From what I have read, isn't this before they started stamping anything on engines? Where would I find any numbers on this engine? There are no numbers stamped on the top back of the engine or top of the transmission (it's an auto). Both the engine and transmission have the same faded blue paint. All in all, transmission and engine are blue, seem to match... Read more

Possible Original Factory Markings Behind Rear Seat—1969 GTX
By braydun
Hello, Members. After removing the rear bench seat from my 1969 GTX yesterday, I found what appear to be original factory markings on the metal panel directly behind the seatback, just below the package shelf. There’s a large marking that looks like an “S,” along with several smaller marks above it. Photos are attached. Has anyone found similar markings on their B-body, or can anyone shed some light on what these might mean? Could they be assembly-line or inspection markings? Any insight... Read more
Thanks to Kanter and FedEx…
By Krooser
So I had ordered a single 413 piston last month to give to my machinist to fit to my block. .030 hoping it would be the correct size after the cylinders were cleaned up. It was correct. So this past Sunday night 10/25, I ordered seven more hoping to get them in my hands by this weekend. I got a notice from FedEx they will be delivered this afternoon 10/28… not bad New Jersey to Wisconsin figuring they were shipped on Monday. As a former UPS’er I know how packages can get lost… I saw a... Read more
Electric choke wire with bypassed ballast resistor
By RT68440
Hey guys, so I've been doing some research on wiring an electric choke on our cars. It seems that the general consensus is to wire it in to the RUN side of the ballast resistor. I see that it's frowned upon to wire it to the positive side of the coil because of the voltage drop. I can't find a difinitive answer on if it's ok to pick up power from the positive side of the coil of the ballast resistor is bypassed. Im running an electronic ignition conversion so both sides of the ballast... Read more
Drum brake adjusters-crapola
By koosh
On 68 b body, 11” rear drums newer hardware, shoes, cylinders etc. i know the adjustment is supposed to create a drag when spinning the wheel. But its a hard spin (in neutral) both without and with the wheel on, so hard to tell if brakes are really dragging. Removed both drums, one side the adjuster almost fell out! Other side very loose. Made adjustments again to a point the drums went on with some force. Next, push e brake all the way down (a bit firmer now), and i can push/move the car... Read more
