    Electrical Gremlin

    70 Road Runner rally dash car. All of a sudden, the turn signals including outside bulbs, dash indicators and hood turn signals stop working. At the same time, all the dash gauges go dead. A few minutes later, everything works….then doesn’t again. I’ve obviously got a loose wire or ground. Where...

    70 Road Runner - Plug & Play LED Tail/Stop Lights?

    1970 Road Runner - I'd like to make my tail lights & brake lights brighter. I've been looking at some 1157 LED bulbs and searched the forums here. I saw a reference about "LED turns signals won't work". So my question....is there a LED 1157 tail/stop light bulb that can be installed in a 1970...

    Adding Electrical Circuits

    I don't know much about electrical stuff. I've added a ton of additional electrical equipment (2 electric fuel pumps, nitrous, bottle heater, purge valve, gauges, line lock, etc). Just about everything is wired "+ of battery to fuse to switch to electrical part to ground" and the wiring looks...

    '70 Rally Dash Gages + Turn Signals Work/Don't Work ???

    '70 Roadrunner rally dash car. All of a sudden yesterday my gages (oil/gas/water) + turn signals stopped working. Today they worked again, then stopped working again. I'm thinking it's maybe a ground issue or power supply issue....maybe a switch issue. Anyone have an idea where I should look...

    MSD 2-step & Hurst Roll Control - Switches/Wiring for 4-speed car?

    '70 4spd car & I want to wire in the trigger(s) for both a MSD 2-step and a Hurst Roll Control (line lock). I'm having a hard time thinking this through. 1. How should I activate each? 2. How should I de-activate each? 3. Exactly which switches should I use? 4. How should I run all the wires...

    Summit Brand Plug Wires are JUNK!

    Just a warning to my fellow FBBO members. I have a set of Summit Racing brand 8mm silicone suppression plug wires that are 2-3 yrs. old with maybe 500 miles on them. I'm doing a tune up & found 2 wires' outer coating split! One wire about 6" long split and another wire maybe 10" long split...

    4spd w/Cruise Control - Clutch Off Switch?

    I know cruise control didn't come on 4-speed cars from the factory. It didn't come on 440 six pack motors either, but this isn't stopping me. I've got the whole setup (for an automatic) 75% installed....but I realize that I need to have a "clutch pedal/cruise disengage switch" in addition to...

    Firewall Wiring - Tick-Tock Tach + Cruise Control???

    1970 Roadrunner For cruise control, where does the wiring pass through the firewall? In the one picture I've seen, it "looks" like it's going through the hole where the single gray wire is for the tick-tock tachometer (original on my car). I'm trying to retrofit cruise control. So, does...

    70 RoadRunner Rally Dash Bulb Twist-Sockets - Where to Buy?

    I've got a 70 Road Runner with the rally dash & one of my dash bulb twist-sockets is bad. Where do I get another one? It seems like the last time I looked they had similar ones at the local auto parts store, but not my exact size. Any help is appreciated.

    Newer Direct Connection Distributors - Mechanical Advance Limiter

    This is probably old news to everyone except me. I bought a new DC distributor last year & I finally am working on my timing & fuel curves. I bought a FBO mechanical advance limiter plate, but when I gutted my distributor, I found that this newer one has that feature already built in. Great...

    Ignition Wire Suggestions? (that won't pop off plugs)

    I've got a 440 with headers using an old MSD-6A and MSD Blaster coil. My wires are MSD Heli-Core 8mm and I've added 2-3 Direct Connection "90-deg. angle" plug ends.... those work GREAT by the way where you have header clearance issues. My problem is that the wires pop off the plugs on a...
