    The Greek Roadrunner is finally here!

    Does the "new" VIN tag not look like proper Chrysler vin tag on the dash? (For a 1969 car). I'm confused by the situation, but my guess is you will need to give your authorities the paperwork and US registration that matches the current tag. I hope the attached VIN tag matches that. FYI, VIN...

    Straighten steering wheel?

    I'm not sure what you're asking. But I think what is annoying you is the steering wheel is just bit off center when you are going straight? Assuming everything is "OK" that may be the result of someone not exactly centering the wheel when the toe is set. Alignments are pretty simple really. I...

    The Greek Roadrunner is finally here!

    My impression is that engine doesn't have too many miles on it, relatively speaking. Not a lot of "gack" on the rockers or valley. And whatever happened locked it up pretty quick after the valve timing went kaput. Then it just sat. So the damage the the bottom end may be low or non existent...

    The stuff I get myself into

    That's an interesting coincidence. I noticed original shoulder buckles have American Safety on them. The China buckles don't but they look the same. I've been driving 70s A bodies for years with the original belts. They appear to be in good shape and I've got a box of junk yard A body pulls in...

    The stuff I get myself into

    ww.69roadrunner.net/mopar/threads/1969-plymouth-road-runner-3-speed-auto.17963/#post-198423 I've already bought new ones. I need the old ones to compare unless someone can tell me the length. The only ones being sold that are near correct state "for show use only" and they are too sort I think...

    The stuff I get myself into

    Heat yes. But it looks like you suffer from the same as me. Lack of space. I spend time moving things around to work. And of course, no lift. Lack of space also causes things to get lost. This car I built a dedicated car parts storage shed before I really started disassembly. But still had to...

    Decal Transference.

    Did you use liquid? I had to replace the right door. Saved the left. I evaluated the new door with that option and opted to drill. Figured if I did want to respray sometime for some reason it's better to take nuts off than pry glue or whatever. 6 of one half dozen of the other. Factory holes...

    Decal Transference.

    How I did it with out bubbles or having use some kind of liquid. 1. Reference the decal to a point . I used the holes in this case. 2. Trace the position of the original. 3. Temporarily remove the non stick paper backing and reposition it to just expose two edges of the adhesive backing piece...

    60 Birthday purchase 70 GTX

    In that case, it's a flawless car. And you got a screaming deal.

    The Greek Roadrunner is finally here!

    Based on what you have said, I would start by removing the heads. Check the top end before spending any more time trying to rotate the engine. If there is no damage to the valves or pistons you may be luck out and get the thing to move easier anyway. It's better to know than guess at this point.

    60 Birthday purchase 70 GTX

    Just for clarification and to get better answers. Did you buy it already? Or are you considering it? https://kinleysclassics.com/1970-gtx-ev2/

    FOR SALE 1969 Plymouth Road Runner New competition hood stripe, new vinyl roof

    Actually, I just put tape at locations on it before I glued it. And then I just lifted it up and "squirted" glue under in sequentially as I worked my way along. The tape was not necessary to keep it in place after I put glue under it. It stuck pretty quick.

    Where do the tank vent lines go?

    Russ, My impression is the short line inside the tank is at a higher position in side the tank than the long line that runs back to the fill neck. IF you had fuel coming out the short line from inside the tank and exiting the long line, the fuel level must have been high enough to cover the...

    FOR SALE 1969 Plymouth Road Runner New competition hood stripe, new vinyl roof

    I hope that trunk seal is on upside down. Sure looks like it. Either that, or the one I just put on my car is.

    Where do the tank vent lines go?

    So the clip must go in the top hole. It seems to be at the correct place. My car came with that long line 180 to a hole on the right side. Darned factory manuals. The stainless lines I got came from Fine Lines and it's got the same bends. And I'm pretty sure it won't work the other way. Tomorrow...

    Where do the tank vent lines go?

    The short vent line came with a clip. Can't figure where it goes if not in one of the holes on the shock absorber cross member. It appears the long vent line from the trunk goes on the outboard nipple. And this short vent line goes on the inboard nipple. Inside the tank I think the outboard...
