Road Runner Nest

You feel two rows of buttons underneath? Humm. Those sound to me like they're '73-'74 B-body seats. The '71-'72 B-body seats didn't have any buttons on them. This. The buttons were 73-up. I did not realize that the '71 bucket frames were different from the '72s...poop. The seat covers are for a '71...

Nice job! that set screw was a really good idea.

They also make a gummie rubber 'disk' that is designed to remover stripes and such without damaging paint. Sold at most auto-body supply stores.

I thought black was for all non-HP engines...440/400/383 got the orange?

Good question I suppose.

i need to replace the rotors on my 72. im having trouble finding them. i was told the rotors first appeared in 72 and changed for 73? is that correct? so they are a 1 year item. i have searched everywhere and can only find these ones http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BEN-PRT1046/ no local parts sto...

I definitely wouldn't use soap and water! There is a Electric Contact cleaner available at most auto parts stores. It's very similar to Brake-Kleen, in fact it might be the same thing. It comes in a pressurized can, dries quickley and leaves no residue. I use to use it to clean my pick-up switches ...

Tyler,

Did you find a 'factory' sppedo? I looked at their site but only saw the tach...which, at $199 for a 'new' unit with updated internals isn't too bad.

Atta boy Bruce!!!

Did the 71's have the option for the 3 speed wiper motor?

Well, the SSP's did, I have one...not sure about the RR though.

Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered at some point, but Search brought up nothing. I'm looking for info on the best way to clean up items such as headlight switches and wiper switches. I figure I could just use soap and water, but I worry about gunking up the inside of the switch in doing so. I pl...

What he said.

But, if you can spin it with your pinky , you should be good...it's not going to free-spin like a bike wheel, but I would deff check all clearances with plastigauge...it's dirt-cheap insurance.

Good luck

Having owned a '74 RR with a 400/auto, I know that the only engine that came with the GTX was the 440. Back in '92 when I had the car, there was believed to be around 300 GTXs built in '74 (which matches other numbers listed here), but as far as I know, there is no number for the 400-equiped RoadRun...

I do remember my '74 RR coming with them...always liked them.

A reproduction FSM (Factory Service Manual) would be best and can be ordered from Year One, which is likely the best source based on your location, but others do sell them too.

Just as an FYI, you usually can't go wrong with 10W/30 in any V8 mopar.
