Well in my case, my car is a 68, I'm using an electronic era distributor to trigger an HEI. "hidden" black HEI module is less noticeable than an orange box under the hood. While NO, not much under there is stock anyway, there's one less thing jumping out at you. I went the HEI route ONLY after...

I made my own under distributor bracket for the HEI module using some 1/4" aluminum plate, and added an additional finned heat sink. If you go that route, Be sure to use thermal paste and make sure the mounting surface (bracket/plate whatever) doesn't have any high spots or burrs. You want...

@Turbosmblk Thanks for that info. I might be able to use a push-on/push-off toggle switch to leave reverse engaged if I need both hands for parking lot maneuvering rather than a momentary contact push button.

Not sure if there’s a question there, but the valve body is a hybrid I guess, original cast valve portion with billet block plate

I don't have the Transbrake version. Maybe I should have gotten that one, but I didn't think I wanted to hold a button while backing in/out of parking spaces with manual steering. I think it was a botched rebuild job. I found a snap ring that everybody says doesn't belong in any Mopar...

Thinking back, I'm reasonably sure I MIGHT have hit O/D, but I KNOW I didn't L/U. In stock form, The O/D, though engaged via a solenoid, is still a hydraulic function. The solenoid opens a valve that sends fluid to the O/D piston. In this valve body, he just directs fluid physically just like...

Here to observe

No, I for some reason have to complicate everything. I used a Cope reverse manual valve body. He engages O\D manually. You use a standard ratchet shifter, but it goes PR1234, you don't have neutral. I sure hope I don't regret going this route, and it is causing me some angst.

If I had room I'd have that Duster in my garage before the weekend.

FWIW, I did mine without the “special” tools, just a $28 amazon digital caliper. The round bar is 5.5. “, and the caliper extends enough to down to where yo need, you just need to be careful to measure to the right “landing” and subtract 5.5 inches from the reading to get to what the chart is...

Good to hear Junior is hanging in there.

Congratulations, I'm so looking forward to driving mine, hopefully in a few weeks.

Rather than muddying monkeymadness thread concerning 46RH, heres my tales of woe about my A500/42RH. 42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

Well, I had figured it was going to take some time to get this sorted. Working here & there between work & my dad’s problems I’ve made some progress and said I would update. Since I had asked for a performance build but basically got a V6Dakota level freshen-up, I decided to dive in. I went on...

Well, it looks clean, but I didn’t bother measuring clearances because when I ordered it, I knew it was a flats pump and I have a brand new lug drive converter and I thought I could just put my pump parts into the new housing. The flats drive pump is a larger diameter so my parts leave too much...
