I want to get on with putting disc brake/LBP put on the B'cuda, and am going the FMJ spindle route. The only thing I've got to deceide on is how to deal with the requisite late model upper ball joint. I've looked at the Dr Diff E-Bay offering, but it is unclear on how this actually works. It...

I want to do the same thing on my 67 b'cuda, but from what I understand you either need to 1. find 73-76 a-body upper a-arms...I doubt that's very easy; 2. buy Dr. Diff's adapter to add the larger ball joints, or 3. after market A a-arms. All 3 are so you can utilize the required larger ball...

I know you didn't ask for any input, but does it have any spark, or will it try to start? Be sure to check the ballast resistor.....

Flange-to-flange on the 7 1/4" 63-72 is 53.200". Flange-to-flange on the 8 1/4" 73-76 is 51.400". Plus I know I need to shorten the drive-shaft about 1.6" You might be right that the outside drum dimensions be the same because maybe the brakes are wider(?) I have the 2 rear ends sitting next to...

I swear I've searched and gone thru the wheel combination thread, but still need a little info. on what I can use based on the title. I know the 8.25 is a little narrower then the 7 1/4 that came out. Obviously this plays with the back spacing. I want to run the 15" Summit "Star" wannabe's...

DANG!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous. You are my hero....I was thinking when I saw your post last week you'd be painting maybe by Monday, I thought maybe by mid-week we'd get to see something. You never cease to amaze me...Pretty early on the left coast, but for some reason I need to head to the...

I get it...I kinda gave up on that route as trying to find UCA's was turning into a bigger challange then I wanted to get into. As I remember after/market/tubular arms were in the $200 range, so I guess if you went that way $$'s would be about the same for what I'm looking at. Something (else)...

Maybe I'm missing it, but this package is not for an A body...Didn't spend a lot of time up on JEG's site, but have been looking at somewhat the same type A package at Summit in the $6-700 range....

I'm not going to get in the middle of the street race thing, but here in CA they threaten, and have in some cases, confiscated the cars and will crush them to make a point... Is your fuel tank new(er)? Had somewhat the same thing happening. Upon taking the float bowls off and removing the...

Can't really blame a business owner for not wanting to work on old cars that are probably not street worthy. I know every one of the cars owned by forum members are jewels in our eyes....the rest of the world - not so much. Most of us work on our own cars, but think how much time we spend trying...

Speaking in pure general terms, there would appear to be something else wrong. If the is an adjustable pinion snubber it must have been added as an aftermarket unit. Even with the rubber in place, it really shouldn't be making hard contact unless its under extreme launches at the drag strip. You...

:worthles:

TTT...I totally understand projects stalling, and if this plead is the one to get this project going again...cool. You have to understand that you are our hero, and there are a bunch of us trying to deceide if we want to take the plunge 5.7/6.1 wise. Reading the current posts doing these swaps...

Actually I look at this as "good-natured" baiting, but T/F the reason for prices being stupid expensive is that there is no where near the market for Mopars. Back when, brand preference was a result of what the mfr's put out into the market place. Then the circuses came to town and NHRA and...

you guys are missing the obvious answer /bb vs /sb...build another car and have one of each.
