    The Roach

    For my fuel injection, I made an electrical "OR" circuit, where I connected the "Start" and the "Run" wires together. This went to the ECU since it needed power for both start and run. To avoid backfeeding the start or run circuits, I put diodes in each of the wires feeding the connection.

    Restored or driver?

    As many of you know, I am a "drive them" type of guy. Two weeks after it got a full restoration, I drove my 70 Road Runner across country (one way, 5,800 miles). Did it get a couple of rock chips and wear? Sure it did, but I wouldn't trade that trip for the world! Besides other more "routine"...

    Car bubble.

    My father-in-law used them for two of his Corvettes that were in a barn. From what I saw, the car capsules work really well, and keep the cars really nice. The down side is that once filled with air, they take up a lot of space.

    When assembling a big block, how crucial is THIS ?

    Mike: there are two types: The dished, as in pictures by Kern and 67B7RR, and the expanding type (not sure of their "formal" name), where you whack the center with a punch and expand it out. I've used both. As stated above, the purpose is merely to plug a hole and avoid oil leaking out, but the...

    Project Brown Eyed Girl.. and her 72 Satty.

    Metal work looks great - it will have a uniquely styled rear that will certainly cause some confusion in cases!

    Pics from Back in the Day

    I was going to say "how to put lipstick on a pig", but then again, recently one in nice shape showed up at a car show. It attracted way more attention than most other cars!

    1973 B5 blue w/red stripes Road Runner GTX sunroof car with 59k mile original paint original survivor

    I can say my 73 Road Runner (340 car) did not have notches in the valence and it was built with exhaust tips.

    1973 B5 blue w/red stripes Road Runner GTX sunroof car with 59k mile original paint original survivor

    I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist about if it is a survivor, barn find, whatever. 440 GTX Road Runners were rare. Sunroofs are rare. Blue with red stripes I have to believe is a rare color combo. The combination is likely extremely rare. Having owned a 73 Road Runner (340) for 42...

    What are these called?

    I had a 73 Road Runner with a center console. No strap on mine either. Must be a customization added by someone.

    My deepest condolences. My wife and I have only been married for 37 years, and I can't imagine losing her. As others have said, and as painful as it must be, thank you for letting us know. I wish you and your family peace.

    Are these Eccentric UCA Bushings?

    Caster is the measurement of how far back the spindle leans. If it is straight up and down (0 caster) the car turns very easy at slow speeds but it will become twitchy at higher speeds. The more positive caster (i.e. leaning backwards) you put in, the more the car will want to go straight. With...

    1973 B5 blue w/red stripes Road Runner GTX sunroof car with 59k mile original paint original survivor

    I had a 73 Road Runner for 42 years that was purchased in 1979, so it was original except someone had put a 2 barrel carb on it to attempt to get better gas mileage during the gas crisis (wrong move, but that's what they did). Anyway, my 73 had the lap belts pulled out, wrapped around themselves...
