Carpeting

[Whitey]

I have a 1972 Rd., Runner needs carpeting where’s the best place to get it from thank you

Check Rock Auto, the last time I compared prices they were the cheapest even with shipping !

I like ACC for quality. They're available from many different sources...including Rock Auto...

 

[Whitey]

Thanks I was looking for the best quality and best fit

All of the carpet is now an ACC product. So no matter whom you purchase it from, then it is all coming from ACC. I would suggest not buying the carpet until your ready to install it. Carpet that has been stuffed inside a box for years makes for a much tougher install. As soon as it arrives, remove it from the box and lay out, flat as possible.

We are a vendor for ACC carpeting and once I call the order in, it usually is cut, molded and shipped in less than 48 hours. Covid has slowed things down slightly as some colors have been an issue in getting the bulk carpet. Depending upon if your looking for more noise insulation or a temperature barrier, some of the guys prefer the mass backing. This adds a heavier rubber like coating to the back of the carpet as found on the new vehicles. A bit more difficult to install but does have its merits.

Thank you!

I have a new question... The 400 engine in my 72 road Runner is blue but the valve covers and air cleaner are orange and appear to be the original type I wonder if that’s factory or not?

 

[69hemibeep]

All of the engine should be blue

 

[Whitey]

Thanks

He means the valve covers, not the air cleaner.

 

[Whitey]

OK so air cleaner should be orange

 

[HD539]

OK so air cleaner should be orange

I believe so.

Engine blue, air cleaner orange.

Another question... Will a 15 x 8“ rally wheel with 295/50 R 16 fit on the rear of a 72 road runner with stock suspension

 

[Whitey]

I mean R 15

 

[droptop]

According to Tire Rack the recommended rim width for a 295 is 8-10”.

 

[Whitey]

I was wondering if it would fit in the wheel well without rubbing

I run 275/60's without issue on an 8" rim, and my RR site quite low
