I have the linkage way back because I could feel the spring back pressure in that area. (dose that make sense). Didn't think it was reaching the kick down area. If I am hard on the throttle shouldn't the transmission hold in each gear longer than normal driving?

soo I went out checked timing. I'm right at 19 degrees@ idle. Drove the car in drive, doesn't matter if I take off slow or full throttle it shifts 1st to 2nd @ around 10mph and 2nd to 3rd @ around 15mph. Seems odd. Also no kick down ever. Have the linkage all the way back. Tried in the middle an...

I have been having trouble with timing. Its hard to pin down. added timing tape, running mag pickup in dist. Dist has silver springs on the mechanical advance. Going out in a few and get what its set at right now and let you guys know. The car started instantly before an my dad said I needed to...

Running street tires. My 318 is .30 over with a eddy 7177 cam, eddy aluminum heads, eddy rpm intake, 650 quick fuel carb, long tube headers, full MSD ignition. My 8.8 is a limited slip with 3.73s. I had a 7 1/4 with 2.76s. Taking off from a stop is horrible. Looked like a stock converter, I know...

I just finished my 8.8 swap. Going from stock 2.76 to 3.73 gears. I have a 71 dart with 318 and a 904. Have several upgrades on motor thought lower gears would make up for lower torque 318. Think the tranny is stock, I serviced it when it was out of the car. New oil an filter. There was some...

Well so far got driver side caliper tore apart. It looks pretty good(as far as no corrosion or stuck pistons). But was filled with a lot of black sludge. Also I learned when you paint your calipers don't paint where the pads sit. (dumb move) Had to tap the pads out of caliper on the bench. Going...

I have done lots of brake jobs and it never took this much effort. Also I had them of the car when I did this. (painted them). So the fluid had no resistance. had to do one piston at a time. Couldn't use my caliper tool or my (go to) C clamp. Had to use a trailer shackle and bolts and then still...

The calipers are the solid mount not sliding/floating ones. They are 4 piston. I think every issue that I have had you have helped me with nm9stheham. :D:DThank you. Also all you guys are great. Going to tear them apart just to count them out. Then new hoses, finally will tackle the MC...

ya I know.. tried to get seat/valve out and tore it up. didn't have a small ez out. Since I'm doing the 8.8 swap with disk in rear what MC would be good? I know I need an adjustable proportioning valve. I think between the old hoses an MC is the hard pedal issue. ( I hope). My caliper pistons...

Hoses are old... Just ordered new ones. The bore for most are the same as what I had and this new one. 1.032 Tried to take out pipe seat and residual valve on front circuit and pretty much ruined the new MC. ( still never got seat out ). So now I need another MC. That might be a good thing...

Ok so I have a 71 dart with front disks rear drums. Brakes were good when I got it, (I mean pedal normal feel and stopped good). Saw pads were low and MC lid leak, soo decided to do all brakes. First rear shoes and turned drums. Drove car all was good. Pulled it in to do fronts. Needed new...

Thank you hemi71x and 340doc

Well those look just like mine....I guess that's why I asked you guys.. Can not believe I got soo worked up and I was wrong....I mean once in like 1992 was I wrong. JK Mine are the two piece...just dropped them off to get pressed. I looked soo many times..uugg. Thank you guys.

Just looked on rock auto and only list the rotor with no hub. I have looked closely and mine are definitely one piece. only thing stamped on them is min thickness of 790 mine are both 755 so they wont turn them.

I cant believe how hard this is to get new rotors. Everyone sells a (behind the hub) but no hub. Mine are one piece. these are stock 11'' 5x4 rotors. Any one have a link. None of the part stores list them.:wtf:
