I've never done this before and I hope someone here has and can shed some light on my question. How much of the carb should I tear apart to have it ultrasonic cleaned? It's a Holley 750 DP, I'll be removing the floats and what not, but should I be tearing out the linkage as well? Should I leave...

Looks like he deleted the stock NSS and is most likely running the park/neutral ground from the shifter.

Like everyone is recommending here, you're going to need to grab the factory wiring diagram to start diagnosing any issues right now. MyMopar.com is a great resource for this. The thing about this is now you're gonna go down the rabbit hole and 30-40+ years of molested wiring will do nothing...

Wicked resolution to an otherwise dire situation! Props to Sedanman!!

Sorry a little off topic, I'll get a pic up ASAP, but how'd that checkerboard flooring work out for you? Does it leak spills through the connection joints? Looking at doing something like this myself.

1974 but the motor is a 1972 340. Either way, I was working on the ammeter bypass today and the wiring harness has melted wire jackets (on the POWER runs!!) and was hacked to **** by the previous owner.. I'm surprised this hasn't burnt to the ground yet. Ordering a Ron Francis kit...

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I'm literally pulling my hair out here as I can't find fusible link anywhere. The stealership wants an arm and a leg for fusible link (1+ weeks to have it shipped in), and Mogre is saying primary wire can be used as a fusible link (remember we're in...

**** man thanks for taking the time to compile all that material, it's exatly what a guy needs to do this on his own. I'm feeling up to the task to rebuild this trans myself. I'll be sure to update this thread along the way, and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. Either way lets get this done.

Thought about it PoisonDart74, just wouldn't want to frig up all those new components and be negative again at square one. Checked out a few resources online but nothing with a clean step-by-step. Could you recommend a manual or resource to do this?

UPDATE: Been driving the car for a few days, seems fine minus first gear. Will be dropping the trans sometime this weekend or early next week, quotes to have this rebuilt are high (which sucks) and going back to a 727 is no go. Will post what we find when it's cracked open.

The first gear problem occurred just before I parked it and I knew I'd have to deal with it when the season came around. Reverse works fine, checked the linkage and it bottoms out properly in first. Gonna drop the pan and check the fluid to see if there's any clues there.

So I jacked the back end up, tires do in fact spin when I'm neutral but if I hold the wheel down I can stop it from spinning (can feel a bit of force). When in first (with the car running) the wheels don't spin nor can I spin them manually by hand they feel locked. What would this tell us?

AJ thanks so much for this, this is exactly what I was after so we can isolate the problem (I just went through a bunch of electrical diagnosing and thanks to 67Dart273 I was able to work things out cause he gives great steps on problem isolation). I'm going to run these tests you've given...

Hey guys, just trying to get this figured out. I did try searching but came up with lackluster answers so I'm hoping I can get some insight into some good troubleshooting tips. I have a 74 Duster that came with an A518. Cars been sitting for a while now, finally got around to firing it up but I...
