To my knowledge, there weren't any W2 manifolds available in 1973, tunnel ram or otherwise. The W2 head itself wasn't even in production yet. My prototypes ("W1"--read this post) have 1974 casting dates, if I recall correctly. I haven't looked at 'em in awhile.

The only thing specific about the Dakota diff is the axle-shaft spline count as posted above. A Sure Grip from a '73 Duster or '81 Diplomat will work in an '87-'96 Dakota, but not newer. The only other difference to consider is that there are two different types of Sure-Grips: the Borg-Warner...

The numerically-low Sure Grip unit only fits 2.2x and 2.4x-series gears and is a bit of an oddball, being introduced with the A99x transmissions with the 2.74:1 first gear. Mega-steep axle ratios and a deep first gear were Chrysler's financially-strapped end-around to developing an overdrive...

Letterkenny, watched on PC. My television hasn't been connected to anything since 2014.

If you're going with the large (4½") bolt pattern, just get a complete drum setup off virtually any 5 x 4½" RWD/4WD up until at least the late 1990s. There are some minor internal differences, but they'll bolt on and work just fine. I've yet to see a later backing plate that didn't have the...

No, no... I absconded with their kickdown linkage. That way they could chase me for the 5 or so minutes that their transmission lasted afterward. :D It's important to give people hope, even if it's false. :p

The Six Pack throttle cable and kickdown linkage were specific to the engine, but... I ran a 440+6 '72 Charger around Atlanta for a couple of years. The car was my daily driver so I didn't have time to f__k around finding "correct" parts. I used the later 1-piece 440-4V kickdown I already...

I sprayed a fender on my Trans Am back in 1991 using one of these. The paint went on OK and I did it with a single aerosol unit, but don't expect spray-gun results. You'd need to color-sand it a little before buffing. It's not really orange peel, it's just not perfectly smooth. The guy to...

Believe me, I'm aware of what I'm facing. :BangHead: My wallet still hurts from the beating it took for a repaired grille for this car. E-bodies are a different world entirely, but those were my Mopar starting point. As much as I hate it, I'm kind of accustomed to it. I think this moulding is...

Yeah, I know... A-body board, but most of the E-body forums are pretty dead, so it's worth a shot. I need the wide hood moulding used on Challengers in 1971 only. It matches up to wide fender mouldings, which I've already got. I believe the part number is 3579556 and the option code was M28...

You can use your current shift forks by cutting the interlock pins off the ends. They're otherwise identical.

OK, so the mirror is '71-'72 Mopar B-body and '71-'74 Mopar E-body. The B-body mirror changed in '73 (taller base with wider-set mounting screws). The remote bezel is for '71-'76 General Motors B-, C-, and E-body. It's the hot setup for folks that just gotta have 'Cuda mirrors on their...

The adjuster bezel is definitely not E-body, nor is it '71-'74 B. Is it removable?

Is it as solid as it looks? What's required to get it running?

I feel like I do, since I was there back when the phone-sales room held 50+ people for two shifts and a couple of guys doing weekday overnights. The phone system would go into overload from 7:30AM until about 2PM on Mondays; customers might be in the queue for 20 minutes or more. I'd walk past...
