    Help Needed: 73 Upper Control Arms

    So I am rebuilding my entire front suspension on my 1973 Road Runner. Looks like someone (many moons ago) installed a ball joint in the upper control arm and then welded it to the arm. I suspect they stripped the threads so welded it to keep it in place. I have searched for any replacement...

    Big Block Motor Mount Suggestions

    I have a 1970 Road Runner with its original big block K-Member. I am replacing my 383 engine with a 400 stroker that makes over 600 Lb-ft of torque. I have heard that stock motor mounts are not up to the task (which is what I currently have). I do not want to run solid mounts as this is a...

    Brake Pedal Height Issues

    I converted my 1970 Road Runner from manual drum brakes to power front disk. While everything hooked up per the FSM, my brake pedal height is too low. It doesn't even contact the brake pedal switch so the brake lights are constantly on. Does anyone know if there were different sizes for the...

    What Brake Fluid To Run? Dot 3, 4, 5 or 5.1?

    As I restore my car all my brake components are essentially new and empty, allowing me to change the type of fluid I will use. What do you guys recommend? * Dot 3 is the old standby, but absorbs a lot of water and has a low boiling point (probably unimportant for me with a street car) *...

    Upgrading (but keeping) Rear Drum Brakes

    I have a 1970 Road Runner with a 8 3/4 axle and 11" x 2/5" rear drum brakes. I am keeping them and NOT upgrading them to disk brakes. In my case, my brakes have the manual adjustment of the brake shoes, so I decided to purchase the components to allow for the automatic adjustment. They are...

    Quick Tie Rod End Question

    So I have my new tie rod ends and sleeves painted and ready to go on. Do the LEFT HAND threads go towards the inside (in other words, they connect to the steering bar)? Thanks for the help, Hawk

    Help Needed On Alignment Issues

    My son's 73 Roadrunner (340, 727, A/C) has been aligned several times in the past few years, by a couple of different shops. It rides on 6 1/2" wide rally wheels with 235/60R15 radial tires. In all cases, the ^%$#! thing eats tires. :angryfire: It seems that it has too much positive camber...
