Hi People....
Please allow me to intoduce myself. Im a retired electrical engineer who owns an almost numbers matching 1970 Plymouth GTX, a 440+6 car with a 4 speed. VIN # RS23V0A*******. The car was built during the 3rd week of November 1969 as a 1970 car. As noted in the vin, the car was built at the Lynch Road plant. The fender tag shows little information an is typical of Lynch Road cars. The car is almost origional, except I rebuilt the engine quite afew years ago. The mistake I made was I assembled the engine with 11:1 TRW forged pistons when good gas was available. I rebuilt the engine with full grooved mains to allow for continuous rod bearing oiling. Main and rod clearances are 0.001-0.0015, measured with micrometers, not plastic guage. The N96 air grabber is totally functional. The car has the A34 super track pack, max cool rad, tourque drive fan, PDB, PS with Saginaw pump and cooler, the rear is the 4.10:1 Dana. The car has the reverse lock out linkage intact and totally functional....most guys remove the parts when installing headers. The car is Torred with a black vinal top, has black irridescent tape stripes. I'll try and post a pix later. BTW, the cam is crane equal to the mopar 292 degree .509 lift with crane roller rockers, chrome vanadium valve springs.
Anyway, I'll post some pix later.
Cheers,
RJ Renton (Bob)
