Garage find 70 Road Runner

[acme rat killer]

When i looked up the numbers years ago in the Holley book it said 70 383 HP 4 speed but that was in the last century and the memory like my hair is almost gone.

here is some pics before i sent it to me buddys shop. the numbers are 1550 list-4367-1

 

[MAGNUM GT XS22L9R]

Good luck!:grin:

The Holley is correct for the 383 four barrel engines. I believe the Carter was used on the 440, though.

 

[moparstuart]

wow so 70 they changed to holley ?

 

[440jimr]

Yes and I believe they stayed with the Holley for 1971 as well.

Got the car backed into the garage so i can work on getting the engine out. Its up on stands too, I hit the brakes and the petal whent right to the floor. So im looking for that problem. Im going to just replace all the brake components.

good plan , i'll bet the master cyclinder the wheel cyclinders, and brake lines are the worst of it .

 

[acme rat killer]

I pulled the brakes off the RR today, everything looked good, for a 40 year old car. Im still going to replace the wheel cyl. hoses and master cyl. just to be on the safe side, I also pulled the front bumper so you can see the damage. Still cant believe thay totaled this for that.

Does anyone know if this is a factory gas cap and correct for the 70 RR?

 

[moparstuart]

nice , I have never seen a factory cap like that on any of my 70's ? I would say an aftermarket replacement from my experience ???

gas cap & carb

The cap looks much like the one on my 1970 Chrysler Imperial which also has the Holley Carb on the 440 motor. great looking project:yes: best wishes on the restoration :grin:

Didnt work on the RR today, but did get some stuff done on my sons 70 dart, I know its an A body but its all in the family.:rolling: I found two broadcast sheets, under the carpet and what looks like an inspection sheet. Ive torn alot of mopars apart and never seen one of these.

 

[69 Runner]

Never seen one either.:sSig_goodjob:

 

[tantop]

good find !! i spy a nice set of slots in the corner by the looks of it :yes:

 

[acme rat killer]

The slots are for my sons 70 Swinger. Its a bitch to put big tires on the rear of a dart. 15x8 with 275 60 15s:yes: I didnt do anything to the RR this weekend. My son went to State with the school drama team didnt make it to finals:sad: and to make things worse on the way back home i had a run in with a deer tore the whole right front corner and door off my PT Cruizer. And i just wrought the last check on Wed. to pay it off so now i have one more project. atleast no one was hurt! well the deer didnt make it:rolling:

ARK;I saw that first shot of the garage and thought:"You know,he could apply for federal disaster relief funds and get some government money.":yes: Since it's our own money bailing you out,we'd all be partial owners of the RR,right? Oh,wait,that would mean we'd have to come clean the garage as well:no:...OK,who's the FEMA rep here?:edgy:

After all those years,I hope Mickey and Minnie and the lil' mouseketeers haven't started a condo community in the car. With the relief funds,would that make it subsidized housing?

Good luck with the car;remember,WE LIKE PICS!

 

[khryslerkid]

Isn't this fun watching somebody else work on their car:sixpack: Your off to a good start A.R.K !!!:grin:

 

[moparstuart]

I wish i was getting something done on mine

 

[acme rat killer]

Thanks AL k thats a good idea, but it would be a bitch trying to figure out who would drive it, and for how long:rolling: but one thing you said was true, micky did move in, but not for long, only damage i found was in the headliner:sad: I didnt like that one anyway:no: should have used Acme Mouse Killer:rolling:
