Road Runner Nest

Just out of curiosity, but from your post it seems like you indicated that you were trying to mount this just to an un mounted valance. Is that correct? The valance really should be mounted to the car and adjusted properly as there is quite a lot of flex to them. If you had then disregard. I just am...

Welcome to the Nest! Dante owned that car prior to 2005, then owned by moparts member gomopar426 in 2006. The added spoilers and louvers were on the car when Dante owned it. Love the EL5 cars! Hey Eric, Thanks for the info. That member is the owner just prior to the owner I bought the car from. I h...

As previously noted the repop quality is a little off if your going for a 100% OE correct type of resto from alot of the suppliers you previously mentioned...BUT if you are looking to get close and actually enjoy the vehicle they are really not bad sources to use. Another good vendor is Megaparts ht...

That is the vapor separator. It is used in place of the fuel filter. It has a filter screen in it. You should also have a 1/4" hard steel return line that goes back to the tank. The smaller nipple on the bottom near the outside rim is the return line. A small piece of 1/4" rubber line should go from...

I think it has a lot to do with the gas. For the most part most of the country now runs an ethanol blend due to government mandates. Like oil there are a lot of additives that are no longer used due to emissions purposes or for the simple reason that 99% of whats on the road is fuel injected which r...

Hey Gary, Well that is good that you have the vapor separator system. Sorry to hear that you still have issues. The edelbrock Thunder AVS series is probably the closest to a stock replacement for your AVS. They come in manual or electric choke. I am not sure if the manual choke setups will connect t...

I need a new throttle cable for my '72 roadrunner. Is there anywhere I can buy a new one ( or good used) . I see YO only sell up to '71 BB cables. Is there a difference between '71 and '72? Thansk! Yep the 71 will work fine. No real mystery with cables. Actually it is better to have a longer cable ...

It does sound a bit like vapor lock. If so a new carb of any type may not help you too much. By far the best fix i have found for vapor lock is to have the fuel return line setup that was actually standard on 440 and 426 models from 71 onward. It features a 3 nippled vapor separator in place of the ...

Well there is a wide variety of carbs you can use and a lot depend on your intentions. The 4968S AVS was the standard HP 440 carb offered in 71 from mopar so from a stock appearing standpoint that is pretty much it. The intake is a square bore pattern so it can take any square bore carb without a pr...

Welcome back! I remember both your old cars, the FE5 satellite and the 71 FC7 Super Bee. I have an FE5 71 Satellite, yours was a 72. I love the new Roadrunner you bought, very nice! It looks clean and sharp. Glad things worked out in your favor on selling the SB for the RR. Life is all about timing...

It's a glitch in the way the site handles images...

I see. Is it better to attach as attachments then rather than linked from my photo bucket account?

WOW that is a AWESOME looking 71 RR! I used to live in Wisconsin. What show did you take it to? It was a small local show at a park in racine. I think it was the racine cruisers club or something like that. A camaro and a cutlass beat me out...oh well. I met another mopar guy with a sweet survivor ...

Hi, welcome, if that is the car that was on ebay, I looked at a bunch of times. Nice car. As far as the louvers go, there will be a j68 on the fender tag.What did you mean be AG car? Or did you mean AC car. Where are you located? Yeah it was on ebay twice. It is located fairly close to where I work...

I am not necessarily new to the site. I was an active member many moons ago when i had a nice driver 72 FE5 satellite and a 71 FC7 Super Bee. I sold the sat several years ago and just recently sold my super bee to fund my latest purchase...now I can officially become a bird nester as this is my firs...
