According to bill at rms they at the 450 spring pressure. Can't get a bigger spring in it. Thanks for asking.

Has anyone else done the rms front suspension on a 63 valiant. I did mine about 10 yrs ago. I have a 400 bb and inorder to keep oil pan 4 inch off ground i have to keep the adjustable shocks adjusted most of the way up making the front soooo hard. Can't get the oil pan i really need anymore. I...

This problem was solved. I took drive shaft back to the original builder and they checked and rebalanced it, it was off. A few weeks later i sold the car. God is so GOOD.

Well problem solved, it turned out to be the drive shaft balance . The answer to drcharles question is i don't know how it was balanced but it looked like a long tire balancer. He did check it at 3000 rpm and said he moved one weight at the rear end of shaft but ithink he also added one. Either...

Ok subject is 65 barracuda with 360 4spd w/od . I have a vibration in 4th gear at about 3000 rpm and up. In neutral all is good. I thought it might be drive shaft related, had that checked, all good. I just recently noticed 1 2 and 3rd gears good until going into 4th. I'm guessing since 4th...

I thought my thoughts were correct. Who knows how long it has been that way. I have had the car 14 yrs and never had a reason to look until now. Thanks for the conformation and reasons.

My axel adjuster is on the left side. To my understanding this is wrong. The rear is a 71 duster 8 3/4 in my 65 barracuda. After fixing the reverse wheel hop issue i noticed a slight vibration at about 3000 rpm and up. The axels do have more end play than they should have almost .020. I know it...

Well AJFORMS you are the winner to the sollution of my problem. I added a .040 washer between the pressure plate and flywheel and it backs up perfectly. It also takes off forwards better because it is not grabbing right off the floor. I even remove the 3.5 degree shim leaving me with still 2...

Here is something i have been thinking about. When i originally put the conversion in i used a ram clutch with the 3 fingers and trying to use a hydraulic setup. I found out you can't use hydraulic throw out and 3 finger clutch. So i kept the disc and bought the centerforce diafram...

Well i added the 2 degrees more this morning so now i have a down rear of 5.1. . I don't see much if any diff from last time. If i slip clutch i can make it work. Don't know what else to do. All bushings seem good, motor mounts seem good. If any of yall live in york pa and want to take a...

Ok so here is my latest and greatest. I reversed the shims and no have a 2.7 degree down. Test drove and 100% better but still backing up a slight up grade i get some shudder not quite the thud i had before. So now i have a total of 5.1 between tranny down and rear down. I have a set of 2...

I understand what people have been saying, it's just that i have read so many articles on this and got mixed opinions. Now that i understand mopar is a different animal i can try what others have been saying, down with the rear angle.

Honestly i don't know, it drops down about 4.5 inch. I would think it does since it came with a v8.

Motor mounts are correct, i actually had to use 2 1/8 inch shims under the k frame to get the oil pan away from the steering cross link so it would not rub the ooil pan when turning. I tried removing the to see what i might gain, only 1 half a degree. Car came with 273----a terd so i put...
