I am new to racing, and am trying to grasp the concept of the stall converter. My question is: if I have a 2500RPM stall, how does that drive on the street? Is it manageable? Here's where I am planning. I have a 68 Road Runner with a 383 and 3.23 gears. Exhaust headers Edelbrock...

Hello all, I am going to exhaust headers with 3 inch collectors on my 383. I've seen some set ups go from a 3inch collectors down to 2-1/2 inch exhaust lines, and I've seen 3inch lines come off 3inch collectors. It seems to me that, if the collectors are 3inch, the rest of the exhaust should...

I have a 68 Road Runner 383, and just changed out the Carter AVS carb. The choke was working fine before I changed out the carb, but now it comes on while driving. Everything else seems fine. Any suggestions? Thanks! UPDATE: I tinkered a bit, and found that the choke was NOT the...

That's very nice, TekHousE! - - - Updated - - - Thanks to everyone who responded. Great ideas; just what I was looking for!

I wasn't aware of F.A.S.T. until just now. Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. I see they get up to some pretty big displacements and very respectable numbers with "stock appearing" power plants!

Hi All, I am currently planning out an engine teardown, including mods for reliability and modernization. Any suggestions past hardened valve seats and upgraded modern seals would be welcome. I would like to keep the engine looking stock when it all goes back together, but that limits my...

Dieseldazzle- Tried that on your suggestion and nothing happened. That told me it wasn't a shifter adjustment. I put her up on ramps and crawled under. The transmission safety switch (3 prongs) was sitting there all alone. The wire had simply fallen off. I pinched down on the terminal to...

OK, I've jumpered the starter relay and it cranked. I then jumped out the Transmission Safety Switch and it started! I have looked for instructions to adjust the linkage going to the safety switch, but can't find anything that is clear enough to work from. I know it could be wiring, the...

Thanks, Guys. Electrical work is a bit more than I usually handle, so I appreciate the advice!

I had just changed the spark plugs on my 68 Road Runner, and took her out for a ride. Coming off a stop sign, she sputtered and died. I tried to restart but the starter motor would not turn. The ignition switch did light up the oil light on the gauge panel, but did not start the car. Just...

Thanks to all. I have a little more checking to do...

I went out to check the numbers on a recent purchase, my 1968 Road Runner. The good news is I found the HP on the 383 engine block, which told me that it is a High Performance Engine, and not a regular 383. I had to do some minor sanding, but I was able to uncover the last three numbers on...

Thanks!

Not sure what a "PM" is, but I think you are telling me I may have (at least) a fraudulent fender tag. I was afraid of this, but again, all the other numbers match and the VIN checks out well. Here's what I got last night from the facebook group "Chrysler Historic Archives" by a member who...

Thanks, 69rag500. Unfortunately, all decoders have incomplete information on the uppercase codes, even Andys 440. >>The next rows above, have the last digit of the sales code for optional equipment. Here are some of them: A - 1 = 26" radiator diameter B - 3 = cruise control D - 9 = front...

I used an online decoder to get a lot of information out of my 1968 Road Runner fender tag. The fender tag sequential numbers match the trunk numbers, and the fender tag is consistent with the VIN RM21H8G21XXXX. There are a few unknowns, however. The decoder came up with no known code of B8...

I did order a Carter 4bbl AVS to install while I attempt to rebuild the stock carb. Thanks!

I should have thought this through better. Yes, it is a 383 Automatic. I know it's had the radiator replaced, so it will never be totally original. I'd like to keep it close, so I will keep the core Carb. Thanks!

I just bought my first Mopar, a 1968 Road Runner, and it looks like it needs a new carb. I want to stick with the Carter 4bbl. Any suggestions regarding where to buy it? I've found several suppliers, including Rock Auto and Classic Industries. Also, what does AVS or AFB mean? I am...
