    Where do the tank vent lines go?

    To be clear. Not sure what you are asking. The gas tank has two vent line nipples. A 3/8 pickup has 1 extra thing. If not needed cap the fuel pickup extra thing. The 2 nipples on the tank need external vent lines as previously explained. If factory venting is expected.

    Turn signal harness, where to buy

    Weird stuff. http://www.wiringharness.com/ The interweb says Year One is the exclusive vendor. But places like Vans Auto have the harnesses advertised. If you order one, expect a long delay and a good product. I had a harness just come after a long wait. I'm checking the paperwork now, and looks...

    Water leak near my E brake pedal.

    Related. 3M 08509 the go to for installation is unavailable. I managed to find a NAPA with one still on the shelf. Sumitt had 100 on back order as of a couple weeks ago. I found this Mfg . Think they specialize in glass products. Going to try their "flow able " butyl as an additon to my back...

    68 manual steering box remove/replace

    I don't think you need to move the engine. Back up the coupler with something when hitting the pin to remove it to make that easier, of course. If you ever need to pull the coupler apart these are available. Mopar 66-73 Steering Column Coupler Stainless Cover, Clamp & Black Seal 3" DMT...

    Any ideas on theses vent window brackets?

    I just found out the vent window assembly is too wide to drop in the window channel. No wait! Make that the channel is too narrow for the vent window assembly. I'm pretty sure I can spread the opening. But it sure would have been better to find it before I painted the door. Much easier.

    Any ideas on theses vent window brackets?

    Russ, Maybe I should have bought some new vent assemblies. But the flawed chrome is a badge of honor. Right? The aftermarket (you know who) doors are not perfect either. That inner bolt hole doesn't line up enough with the fixed nut on mine. I've already painted the door and will have to use a...

    Any ideas on theses vent window brackets?

    Well, I really can't see how it adjusts anything. But after I posted Ifigured how the assembly prevents movement in two plains. In other words keeps the channel from moving forward aft and side to side But that loop around the long stud would allow the frame to find its correct position up and...

    Did you have any trouble with noseeums? Sand gnats. I've had sod come from south GA and the things were in the sod. I just stopped at Lowes for some weed killer and remembered I got hit by a wasp last week. First time I've gotten stung in 30 years. Little bastard was building a nest over me. I...

    Exactly Heat islands. In the whole discussion that never seems to be mentioned. It's always about out tail pipes et al. Working swing shift at the airport I could tell the temperature drop as soon as I hit green space at night.(No AC in my A body driver) I also noticed something in our local...

    What is the weather forecast in Penn this time of the year? I skipped a local event last weekend due to heat. Would have been the first time to go to one of those things in years and only going to see family and their cars there. It's gonna hit 100 and muggy next week here. (Dew point is at 70...

    Any ideas on theses vent window brackets?

    These stabilize the bottom of the vent window track apparently. But I can't see why they have to be made like they are except to allow up and down variance of the track during instillation. Doubt they are adjustable in any way. Nut on the bottom simply tightens to a flat platform. Why the long...

    Clutch

    All I can tell you is I did a Charger and it was a little worn inside the hole so I welded and reshaped it. Then the clutch peddle had a tendency to not want to return completely. Almost but just not quite bumping "up" to the rubber stop. A new one from Brewer's fixed it. So it must be a pretty...

    WATER BASE PAINT- omaha orange

    I have only painted my own cars with single stage paints. I can exhaust my knowledge in a few sentences. You say repair? You are doing the repair or the car has been repainted already? Very different scenario. What condition is the associated paint in? These things will help getting some ideas...

    Where do the tank vent lines go?

    If it's leaking out of the frame rail I'm thinking it's the long line from inside the trunk dumping into the frame rail. I have no practical experience yet with this system but after evaluating the Chysler designed installation I suspect the same as Russ'. Something pressurized his tank to pump...

    The Greek Roadrunner is finally here!

    The word "random" confuses me. Is the dash VIN and the 79 registration one or two VINs? The same VIN or two different ones? And it sounds like we are assuming the body, engine and broadcast sheet are the "original VIN". So, that makes me think you may have 3 Road Runner VINs. I don't know if I...

    Good parts source

    There are good companies But these days parts are where you find them. Vans, 521 Restorations and Megaparts are Mopar people and what you get from them is reliably accurate as far as possible. Classic of course is a big player but not Chrysler specific. The sales person probably just knows what...

    The Greek Roadrunner is finally here!

    To be clear You have a broadcast sheet and title or paperwork with one 1969 Road Runner VIN. And you have a dash frame with a different 1969 Road Runner VIN. The body, engine and transmission match the dash VIN. I think your engine should be orange.

    Straighten steering wheel?

    In this type of car, "rust free" can be a relative term. But yea, he might have mentioned that. I spy with my little eye, rust on the shackles.
