I have a 1969 roadrunner and was thinking about updating the front suspension with aftermarket upper control arms (or both upper and lower if that is the correct way). I have QA-1 shocks on all corners but would like the steering a little tighter.
Suggestions......
I like the QA-1 shocks, 20 levels of adjustment to fine tune your car. Street version and race version available.

Yes, I have adj rockers. Looking for a slight increase in performance with a roller, just not sure which one. Not quite sure how to compare the two cam types.
I have a 69 roadrunner 4 spd. w/ a 500+hp 440cid / trick flow heads (with spring and valves etc.). I have started to hear a little lift noise and was thinking of just replacing the Comp 21-224-4 cam with one of the Comp XE roller cam vs just a complete lifter change. The car is 98% street...
Hello Zapa, I have a 69 roadrunner 4 spd. w/ a 500+hp 440cid / trick flow heads. I have started to hear a little lift noise and was thinking of just replacing the Comp 21-224-4 cam (c/w springs) with one of the Comp XE roller cam vs just a complete lifter change. The car is 98% street...
Year One as well, all of them, old and brittle. After 40+ years I think they have paid for themselves. I know a guy who's car burnt to the ground due to an electrical fire....
As RonLiv has shown above my 69 was the second car I ever owned and it was a dream come true. Love the stick cars. I was in grade 10 when I bought it in '73 for $1,750 and I still own it today.
I suspect you have a 22" rad support (20" opening) as this is a 383 car. Try to buy a fan that is not too heavy so you don't rob HP. A good fan choice has a metal body and thin blades that flattens out at RPM but is highly curved to draw lots of air at low RPM, just my thoughts as you...
I have used this oil for many years and I change the oil every year before storage. I try to get 1000mi per year but don't always make it. The weather in Alberta Canada is not the same as CA USA. The oil is specially formulated for flat lifter engines and contains primary ZDDP, and secondary...
Does anyone have an original rr TV ad or poster you can send me? I belong to the Northern Mopar's Car Club [http://www.mopars.org/] and we have a display at the World of Wheels car show in late February 2019. The display will be "The birds and the Bee's" featuring road runner's and super bee's...

Nice find. Does anyone have an original rr TV ad or poster you can send me? I belong to the Northern Mopar's Car Club [http://www.mopars.org/] and we have a display at the World of Wheels car show in late February 2019. The display will be "The birds and the Bee's" featuring road runner's...
I agree but you still have to remove the air-cleaner/carb etc. With a larger push rob opening in the head you can you it all by just removing the valve cover
You don't have to pull the head but you do have to remove the valley pan and if it was a two piece as suggested above you can remove the center section and have access to the lifters etc. I do think you can buy 2+ valley pans for the price of a two piece valley plate. I used the original and...
Found one soft lifter and replaced it with a matching Comp cam lifter, all is good. I had installed a Hughes Engines 1 Piece Single Plane Valley Cover and doing this does not allow you to watch the lifter action or easily remove the cover. With the cast heads you can use a magnet and recover...
