I purchased the car from the original owner! Car spent most of it's life in California and then it's owner moved to St George, Utah. It had been raced on the drag strip for some time with a dual quad on the 383 Magnum. Niels, I sent you a few 'before' photos and have more info when you email me...

Sent you an email Niels! Hope you are enjoying the car!

I guess no 4 speed tranny gurus on this site???

Well, I finally got to take the '68 Roadrunner to a show, some 50 miles away. Got half way there, then a slight vibration began. Within a half mile, had to stop. It appears that the bushing? in the tail housing failed. Tail housing got so hot it burned off the paint. Have not torn down yet, but...

Bob, I am going to have to dig into this a bit. No, the engine does not sound "right", also has no power to speak of. I need a real Mopar guy to help with tuning, and it might just be the cam is off as you stated. Did drive the car 6 miles into town (Williams) last weekend, tends to run hot at...

OK, now I'm really confused, I marked the tire rolled the car forward and counted the revolutions of the drive shaft. I did it twice just to be sure, but it came out just over 4 complete revolutions of the drive shaft for one complete revolution of the wheel/tire. This goes along with what the...

Looks like I have found the problem. I jacked up one side of the rear, rotated the wheel 1 revolution and the drive shaft turned 2 1/4 times. Yeah, no wonder I had problems taking off.

Yeah, tag is long gone. This car came with a 3.23 sure grip originally, was changed to an A-body 391 sure grip at some point for the track use with wrinkle tires, and when I got it, someone had put a open diff. rear in it. Yeah I will check it out closer this time. thanks!

No John, it's definately not 3rd, the shifting sequence feels right once you go through the gears (all 4) with each shift dropping the rpms as they should, just not near low enough in 1st. I know the original owner used to run a different rear end at the track, and who knows what has been done...

I need some feedback from original roadrunner owners with the A833 tranny. I believe I have a 491 8 3/4, but not a sure grip. As some of you know, I just got all my issues resolved and got to drive the car finally. I have only put 6 or 8 miles on it, but have noticed that first gear feels alot...

Well, got it done. Found the front bearing retainer was cracked. Some crackhead tightened the bolts too tight without a gasket (part of the problem). Found a good retainer in Arizona, 20 miles from home the same day. Got a new seal and gasket installed and wallaaa. No more leak. Thanks guys for...

Finally got the transmission problems corrected and finished hooking up the Z bar and linkage. Nice to finally get to drive it. Still needs lots of tuning on the carburetor and timing, for it doesn't run as good as it should. Still nice just to get it on the road. Thanks for all your help and...

Finally got the '68 out in the sun for some photos to see what it looks like in the sun. No I have not color sanded and buffed the paint yet. Doesn't look to bad for no paint booth!

Yeah, your right about the dimmer wheel, that's where my book shows the "instrument fuse circuit" to show up first on the center position of the 3. Looks like the previous owner placed a jumper between the center and lower positions on the dimmer switch itself, soldering a jumper there, so I...

Back in the early 70s, a friend of mine was lonely driving around one night and saw a nice 69 Super Bee making the drag in town. A cute blond was behind the wheel and he somehow managed to get her to pull over. They talked and talked for an hour, and he got the nerve up to ask her out. She...

John, glad everyone is OK. Looks like to me, the reciever probably was vertical and tried to lift the car. Only way it could put that kind of dent in the floor. good thing they are as short as they are, could have been a hell of a ride.

Thanks guys, but my problem is from the fuse to the dimmer switch. According to the print I have the feed from the fuse box (instrument circuit) is a tan wire that connects directly to the dimmer switch in the dash, on the center post. There is a tan wire on that post, but it has no continuity...

I have a full set for a '68 if asyone is interested give me a PM.
