    1971 Roadrunner stall problems when put in reverse

    Again, a lot of great input and ideas here and I appreciate the help. The one thing that I will do first is check the grounding on the ECU as the painter pulled the engine and did a fantastic job of painting the engine compartment after he removed all parts hanging on the inner fenders and...

    Ok, I don't want to sound totally stupid ( been out of the Mopar repair game for long time now) but the ECU is the electronic box mounted on the firewall correct? I should have mentioned that when we pulled the engine to repaint it the coil appeared to be slightly leaking so I replaced it with...

    1971 Roadrunner stall problems when put in reverse

    Thanks for the advice, plan on doing that the next time I fire it up. Right now I am afraid of taking it out of the driveway as I am afraid I would have to have it towed home.

    71 Roadrunner air grabber vacuum question

    Thanks Chuck, if you have time I would love to see a picture so I can visually see what I need to look for. I was wondering if I could get away with splitting a line and feeding off of that but I do not know much about the air grabber system and was not sure that would work. Thanks again...
