    Help converting my 64 to 66 23 Spline 8A33 to an overdrive ?

    First order of business is figuring out what you have. '64-'66? No such creature. '64-'65 used a flanged ball and trunion output shaft and housing, '66-'67 used a 27 spline slip yoke output shaft and housing. '68 and up (including OD trannies) had 30 spline output shafts and housings. Not...

    What battery?

    Used to have a great local battery shop, built their own stuff- EPA regulated them right out of business. Darn shame. I splurged on a $175 Interstate for the wife's Grand Cherokee, lasted about 2 1/2 years of almost daily use. Replaced it with a $120 Delco, so far so good at 2 years... In my...

    Shift Linkage Interchange from a 65 Slant Six/904 to a 66 273/904

    The '65 has cable linkage, the '66 has mechanical linkage. Two completely different transmissions and linkages, not much of anything interchanges that will be of use to you. Best bet for you would be to get a '66 steering column and shift linkage and swap that in, or an aftermarket floor...

    Will a b/e-fuel tank fit with a modified a-body pan?

    Consider one from an '88ish Jeep Cherokee. 20 gallons, driver's side fill. In-tank electric fuel pump, 70-90 psi (depending on manufacturer), 50ish gph, 3/8 line with a return fitting. The sender's ohm readings are similar to stock Mopar, but get this, they are reversed. So your gauge will read...

    [WANTED] 67 recall steering wheel

    I've heard at least 2 different stories- The spokes were too fragile and would shear in an impact, impaling the driver... And The gap in the spokes was too wide and easily captured your fingers when turning the wheel. Not sure I believe either one, though.

    la 360 flex plate

    The bolt pattern is the same, but the balance weight is different. Plus, the LA360 uses the standard "daisy" shaped flex plate, the 5.9 uses a full diameter flex plate with a tone ring around the perimeter for the crank sensor. The very early 5.9 plates were non weighted and used a weighted...

    Question about splash shields

    And just to be clear, despite what the ad says those are not shields, they are the seals that attach to the steel type of shield.
