What size and brand of carburetor are you all running on your 383’s? I believe my original Holley was a 650cfm but that is a guess at the moment. It was replaced with a 750cfm DP. That seems a bit large for a stock motor IMO. Thanks so much!

I got the new set of anti-rattle disc brake caliper hardware from Napa today and did the install tonight and going for a test ride in the morning. This kit does not come with any special instructions for install,so I just assume put back on as I found them right? As I took off the drivers side...

Nobody gets close enough to this bird to make that kinda racket. Those rattle clips that I bent back have made a huge difference,but any other rattle I will blame on the rest of the front end to be refreshed…Thanks for all the help!!!

Rattle is goneIt was the right side anti-rattle clip,but I need to get replacements for both calipers. I heard that once they are bent they lose their spring steel ability to hold down on the caliper. We’ll drive her and see if we can get that damn radio to work for the next rattle

Well a recheck of the caliper passenger side showed me this: So I bent them back so they made contact with the caliper and checked the drivers side anti-rattlers and they were on the way they should be. That in itself is strange. Could the right side ones have moved themselves based on the heat...

Yes Sir! Bought my 70 as my official 2nd owned car in 1975 for a whopping $1,450.00,couldn’t imagine how I was going to makes $50.00 a month payment. Mine was that beautiful red as yours is. I was always fiddling with it and wiping it down and my dad thought I was going to rub the paint off of...

Welcome!..Story sounds very familiar! It’s like a dream…enjoy brother

Yes the upper arms are going to get replaced. As for the shock picture,that picture is with the car jacked and no weight on that right front end,just hanging there. Do you all think that I should see if it can be tightened up or would it need a spacer?? Thanks

Thanks Bud!

Yes sir! It’s starting to look like that will be the plan. I checked with classic ind. and they have a lot of stuff that is on backorder,probably on one of those container ships to be unloaded one of these years. Checked the anti rattle clips on the front disc brake calipers and they are tight...

I saw those when I was in there looking for the culprit. I shall check this as well,but every nut and bolt I saw only if at all could take tightening. I bought the car in December of 2020 and don’t remember that noise at all up in phoenix with only 100 miles between then and now. I should...

Hey Russ! Checked the rear upper shock mounts and when I pounded on the upper shock it made a rattle sound that did not go away with tightening. Jacked up the right front and pulled the wheel and inspected everything visually and did not find any loose nuts or bolts. Added grease to all joints...

All great ideas! Of course I don’t hear it on a smooth road. I gave my front shock mounts a little tightening and I will look at the rears today. But I know that Turning Up the Radio will Not fix the problem

I’ll try and not get long winded on this question…What if any is the grading process for a non-rotisserie or frame off restoration of a daily driver car? Is it’s 1-5 rating? Are their a lot of factors or is it pretty simple?? Thanks!

Well like this has never come up before:I drive 70 down the road and there is this annoying rattle when I ride on some rough road or go over expansion joints it is very audible. Had my mechanic ride with to let him hear it and he thought it was coming from the right front end. We jacked it up...

I have the split back bench seats in the 70 Roadrunner and I was curious what’s involved with adding the headrests to the seats? Thanks in advance!

Got the right side on last night,now it is officially badged Road Runner. She be complete

Last time in one of these birds”75”. My time machine!!!!

Thanks! Now for the other side. These are the badges with adhesive backs on them. Do any of you guys think the sun and heat here in the desert will soften the adhesive backing on these?…Thanks!

This the final result unless I of course get all anal about it and find something wrong and try to fix something that may or may not be there. Even back in the day they didn’t do little detail work perfectly.
