About a month ago, we were going out to dinner, and as I slowed to make a U turn to the left I felt the Roadrunner pull hard to the left, kinda like the tire had just blown out. I came to a full stop, started moving forward, and the car pulled hard left again. I got the car straight and pulled...

After driving around the Roadrunner for almost a week with no issues, I got one last night. We were coming back from watching the Penguins game, and stopped at a McDonalds and while travelling through the parking lot I heard a loud "that's not good" bang. All the gauges were good, the car had no...

My engine vacuum is low to a point where the power brakes aren't working very well. If you watched Graveyard Carz a few weeks ago, and saw Worman talking about low vacuum, that's the problem I am having. I was wondering if connecting a 12V Dorman pump that the Ford F-250 diesel trucks use to...

So, after being bitterly disappointed with the kids at the local tire shops, who can't seem to figure out how to align a 2008 car correctly, I figured I would follow in my Dad's footsteps and take the Roadrunner to Sears Auto. That, plus I got a Groupon voucher for getting it done for $49, but...

My 74 Roadrunner picked up a shimmy recently, and I started looking at the suspension for a cause. I thought one of my wheels felt a little loose, and I took a look at the wheel bearings. I replaced these about four years ago, but the car has been driven well less than 1,000 miles since then due...

I swear to God... I cannot catch a ******* break with this damn Roadrunner! I get all the engine and electrical issues fixed, and Friday it starts this damn left-right shimmy from the front end. It's shaking so bad the exhaust pipes are banging into ****! I checked the ball joints, tie rod...

I once again made the mistake of changing two things at once... which one should never do since when a problem arises it makes it just that much harder to figure out... but I replaced the 8.25 rear in my 74 Roadrunner with an 8.75 rear from an E body, and I added Super Stock springs. Everything...

Okay, I've fixed my carb problems, brake problems, exhaust problems, and electrical problems, and now I have a steering problem. There is a lot of play in the wheel. A lot. I've attached a video showing how far I can turn the wheel before feeling any resistance. The steering was fine when I...

My saga of replacing the brake lines on my 74 Roadrunner is aging me quickly. :) I got the driver front line replaced, but the replacement for the front passenger line looks to be FUBAR. The replacement line looks nothing like the original, and there's no way I'm going to be able to get it in...

The proportioning valve on my 74 Roadrunner was gunked up pretty badly after sitting for three years and I got a replacement from a wrecked car, but I was wondering if there's a test to make sure it's good? I can blow air through the holes. The front hole allows air to go to the holes for the...

I have a question about the metal coils that go around the stock brake lines. Are these a must have, or just to protect the lines in critical areas?

So, it looks like I'm going to have to replace the proportioning valve and the lines on my 1974 Roadrunner. The big issue is whether or not to use a replacement line kit or just get a lot of brake line and fabricate new runs. I hate to buy a kit as I've already replaced the lines on the rear...

Anyone know who sells bleed screws for 1974 front calipers? It's a 7/16 20 thread screw but it was a flat bottom with a hole through the center. I've hit all the parts stores and they show a smaller screw with a pointed end and a hole through the sides.

Sitting for three years took a serious toll on my Roadrunner's brakes. :( The brake pedal is completely locked up. Will not budge. I pulled the cover off the master cylinder and it looked like Hell in there! The fluid was a brown/red color and the rubber gasket had partially deployed and...

I have a question about the axle gaskets on the 8.75 rears. Looking at a diagram... It looks like there is a gasket between the retainer and the housing, but it shows a second gasket between the bearing cup and the oil seal, but those would fit inside the hole of the gasket, which to me...

I spent most of the day trying to get the lower ball joints out of my 74 Roadrunner and I'm having no success. Got the upper ones, but no the lowers. Any tips? Torches? Nuclear weapons?

Wanted to get some thoughts on this. I just bought a 73 Town & Country station wagon that I'm parting out, and it has the longer but narrower booster seen here: My 74 Roadrunner was a 318 car and had the shorter/wider booster like this: I'm putting a 440 into the Roadrunner, and...

Ok, so I'm having a helluva time installing a set of MP SS springs onto my 74 Roadrunner. The rear wheels are sitting too far back in the well. I think I've found out what one of the problems is, and that is that contrary to published reports the A measurement on 71-74 B bodies is not all the...

I wanted to install a set of MP Super Stock springs on my 1974 Roadrunner. I obtained a set of springs, a pair of P4120079 hangers, and a set of shackles from a guy who had them installed on a 1970 Roadrunner and thought they were too high for his liking. The P4120079 hangers are supposed to be...

I wanted to replace the stock 74 springs on my 74 Roadrunner with a set of Mopar Performance super stock springs. Of course like with so many other things, 73+ cars are a little bit different than their predecessors. When it comes to leaf springs, 73+ cars have the rubber isolated mounts for the...
