    2.2L Valve Spring Retainers

    I harvested mine from the local bone yard. They didn't even charge me for them. Also Hughes has some retainers that work with the magnum 8mm stem that will allow for a little more valve lift than the 2.2 retainers.

    4 speed aluminum Overdrive for A body

    The long tail shaft in an A-body really is not a big deal. I have one in my 68 Barracuda. All you need is to shorten the drive shaft ( cost me $75 at the local drive shaft shop) and an adapter that bolts to the rear mount and positions the shifter to the stock A-body location (bigblockdart.com...

    A833 Overdrive Trans (New England)

    There was one in a van down at Middleboro Salvage, been about 6 months since have been there so I don't know if its still there. It's the long tail shaft but it will work in an A-body if you shorten the drive shaft and fabricate an adapter that bolts to the rear mount and positions the shifter...

    WTB: LBP 15 x 8.5" aluminum wheels with 5" backspace

    FWIW, I have 15x8 with 4.5" of back spacing and the rim would touch the spring if it had 5" of backspacing. I could have gone with a bigger tire if I had less than 4.5". This is on a 68 Barracuda.

    Cast Iron A833OD

    I have one in my 68 Barracuda. Need to fabricate a mounting plate that attaches to the rear mount and positions the shifter forward to the A-body position and you will need to shorten the driveshaft about 3 1/2". The input bearing retainer on all of the ODs are larger than the non ODs so a bell...

    360 narrow spool motor mount wanted

    I bought the motor mounts from either Advance or Autozone. I used a 318 spool mount on the drives side and a 1/2" spacer to make up the difference in the spacing of the ears on the block.

    8 1/4 11" "A" body (only?) rear drums

    A-bodies with 8.25" rear ends came with 10" by 2.5" brakes not 11". The A-bodies with 8.75" rear ends came with 10" by 1.75" brakes. You can use 11" by 2.5" brakes from a B body on an 8.25 if you swap the backing plates along with the brake hardware and drums. You would need new axles with...

    Electronic Ignition stuff

    I agree, if you have electronic igntion on your \6 you don't need anything but the v8 distributor, don't even need to swap the ecu module. If your car doesn't have electronic ignition the cheapest route is the junk yard. Any mid to late 70's car, van or truck will have the parts you need and...

    Looking for 8 1/4 shock plates or substitute

    Yes! The 7.25 has 2.5" axles so you need to elongate each of the holes 1/4" to the outside so the 3" u-bolt will fit.

    Looking for 8 1/4 shock plates or substitute

    The shock plates are only specific to the size of the axle tube so any axle with 3" tubes will use the same shock plate. Or, you can just elongate the holes on the 7.25" axle and use them. I have been using the shock plates that were on the car with the 7.25 for 50k miles now to clamp my 8.25...

    A body suspension tools

    You do not need those special tools to do that work. To remove lower control arm bushings just drive the shaft out then use a chisel to split the shells and they will come right out. Press the new one and the shaft back in with a vice. The lower ball joint is easily seperated from the spindle...

    WTB: OD ballstud & bracket

    In 72 the position of the mounting holes on the side of the bell housing for the z-bar ball stud moved slightly. When the ball stud bracket for the older position is bolted to the newer bell housing the z-bar sits at an angle up and towards the back of the car on the bell housing side. It works...

    Need A Mopar Performance Distributer

    That is true but you can buy a $5 set of springs from MP that will make the OEM distributor have all the timing in around 2000-2500 rpm. The advantage of the MP distributor is you can dial in the amount of timing in the distributor to match the cam you are using.

    Need A Mopar Performance Distributer

    They are available through Jegs, Summit, Mancini, etc. FWIW, there is no performance advantage to the MP distributor. It just gives you the ability to adjust the mechanical and vacuum advance. This can be done to the OEM unit by welding or epoxing up the the slots.
