It doesn't do any good. One of the smaller companies that sell a sender, I called them to ask who makes it. The guy said they were made in house. When I asked if they were the correct non-linear, he said he's never heard of that, it's not a thing, and that I have no clue what I'm talking about...

Technically it can, but the gauge won't read correctly. Bend the arm so that when the tank is almost empty, the gauge indicates empty. It will just stay on full forever, and then start rapidly dropping once the level gets low enough to move the float. It's what I've done in the past so I knew if...

In the beginning post, I did state this was going in a 1974, so I figured that would carry through the whole conversation about the year range in question. That is what I have done in the past on other cars where I bought whatever was available as a replacement. I don't care about knowing where...

I've never seen this sender that you are showing as an original type. Only the one with the pivot in the middle. Even original ones I've removed are that middle pivot style. At least on the 74-76 models I've worked on. I would have to say it is. Using it in my daily with the factory gauge, it's...

I have an OD bellhousing in the shed, but it uses a ball stud to mount the fork. Which that is the only reason I didn't use that bellhousing; I don't have a fork for it.

Well, I do have a spare flywheel, so that isn't a problem. But I don't know about shimming the fork pivot. I don't remember what it looks like exactly, but the fork has a piece of spring steel on it that snaps into a pedestal in the bellhousing. I don't remember if this pedestal is removable or...

If you're talking about the $1000-$1250 clutches they list on their website, it's gonna have to be a "no" for me. I'd spend a couple hundred on a pressure plate, but I can't drop that much all at once. There has to be a different option that works with the stock flywheel and a 10" disc.

Where can I get a different pressure plate? The 10" I took out had stress fractures around every mounting bolt and was broken in some parts after only 3000 miles of abuse. I do beat it like it owes me money and sometimes do turn it up to and over 5000rpm. If I'm resting my foot on the pedal, it...

It's enjoyable on the highway. 80mph is about 2600rpm and even down low, it pulls OD quite well.

I believe that's what mine is as well. With the 3.55 gear and the 26.85" tall tire, it makes for great performance and great highway driving. I'm now just over a week into driving this to work and one four hour round trip, and it is all around fantastic. Being I need to replace my SureGrip...

They can still be found relatively cheap if you search hard enough. Might still find a fox body or sn95 Mustang in the junkyard with one. Although my engine is not stock, I have been loving this conversion behind the slant in my car.

That is what killed the 700R4 in one of my S10s. .7 Overdrive, 3.08 gears with a 26" tall tire. I couldn't drive around town in OD. Would barely tip in just to accelerate and it would shift out of it; sometimes down to 2nd if I leaned in too far. Only turned 2000rpm to do 70mph. Wore itself out...

A 3.91 or 4.10 would be good and still deliver decent highway rpm with the A833. With a 27" tall tire and a 3.91 gear, you would be almost 2600rpm at 75mph; about 2700 with a 4.10 with the A833 overdrive. With my slightly smaller tire (26.85") and the slightly better .68 overdrive, I turn almost...

The main reason is I couldn't find one at a reasonable price, and for what my engine is and how I drive, the gearing in the A833 is subpar at best. The other thing is, with the T5, I have four gears to have fun in vs. only three. And then highway cruising on top of that. I've never dyno'd it...

Hello! Was not entirely sure where to put this, could've gone either here or under the slant six section, but being primarily related to the trans, this felt appropriate. If not, I apologize. So, I (at least at this moment) have a 1974 Dart Sport as my daily driver. I had built the slant in it...

I was afraid of that. I plan to also T5 swap the car eventually and really didn't want to have two driveshafts made. But if I must, I must. You wouldn't happen to know how much I have to shorten it, would you?

I have recently acquired an 8.25 rear end from a 1974 Swinger that I am planning on putting in my 1974 Dart Sport. My car is currently a three on tree A250 (I think) and a 7.25 rear end. My questions: do I need to change the driveshaft? Is the u-joint larger? If it's just a u-joint difference...

To my knowledge, Clifford only sells two intakes. One open plenum that you buy an adapter to fit your carburetor and a dual Weber intake. Both of which are water heated. At least, I would think the dual Weber intake is water heated. I know the other is.

Clifford sells a dual Weber intake for the slant. Do not know if it would work with air or not. Probably not.

Anyone? Make offer. I can deliver within reasonable distance of Sarasota, FL. I don't want to toss this in the trash.

I'm about the same as Stretch here. I have 40 mile commute that is primarily highway 60-75mph and the last few miles through town at 45-50mph. I average 25mpg. Whenever I drive across the state to see my parents I get 32mpg maintaining 70 the whole 180 miles. Car is a '74 Dart Sport. Engine...

I've had Tayman Electrical down here in FL convert a couple radios for me. He is a dealer for Aurora Design and one of the people that helped them develop this. If I remember correctly, a basic conversion is somewhere around $300 and it goes up from there. I had the stock AM radio in my 67...

I have for sale a bench seat that came out of a 1974 Dart Sport. Fits other years and and models. Minor tears in driver side and side buttons are missing, but otherwise good condition. Was in my daily, but I upgraded to a high back. Has pressure sensors for seat belt interlock. Can be picked up...

I thought 390 seemed optimistic. You're probably not wrong on that. I would love to have two carbs just for the cool factor, but with a limited budget, this being my only car and having an 80 mile round trip drive every day, it's not something I wanted to try right now. With the way I have my...

I spent almost a month trying to decide what to use. 32/36, 38, BBD, converting a 38 to progressive.... Finally settled on a 38 and running it as is. Seems to be the best option. I was not willing to spend the $400-500 on the real deal and found what I'm running on Amazon. Normally I would not...

Recently bought a Weber 38 dges knockoff from Amazon and it claims on the box to be a 390cfm carburetor. When I bought it last month, $110 shipped. Bolted on to a Clifford intake. I feel that the main jetting is perfect for a 225 right out of the box, but the idle jets need to be larger. I do...

My car has the original cluster that every American made A body came with.

I thought I would share an experience I have had. Searching the forum endlessly for what brand or where I can purchase a sending unit that will make my fuel gauge read correctly, I stumbled upon a posting from Slant Six Dan where he linked to Plum Krazy Garage in Australia because they not only...

Same thing. I should've went with 2" tubes, but I went with 2.25." It is tight, but my exhaust guy made it fit. I had to be in the car working the clutch and shifting gears so he could see where and how everything moved to make sure he could get around it. The one pipe has about 7 bends in it to...
