I got some help from a friend here, and following his advice, I upgrade my clutch to 10" I wasn't sure that my bellhousing and flywheel would accept it, but this friend has a '71 Barracuda with the same 198ci than mine and he has a 10" OD clutch. I ordered this one from Rockauto : More...

I cannot take the transmission apart and wait for the delivery. I'm in Europe and deliveries from USA take at least one or two weeks.

Hello Dave "L" is for Dart, and "J" for Challenger. And it's not an Europe made car. It has been assembled in Hamtramck, Michigan. I also think that the 9 1/4" will fit... I saw that Rockauto has this kind of disc for sale. Thanks all. François

Yes, it's logical :). But an optional 9 1/2" disc is mentioned in the FSM for the 198ci. So, I suppose that it's impossible to determine the disc diameter without removing the transmission... :rolleyes:

All original 1971 Demon, 198ci, 3-speed A230 transmission, 7 1/4 rear end. Thanks

Hi guys I would like to order a new clutch disc and I would like to know its diameter before removing the gearbox. FSM tells 9 1/4 (standard) and 9 1/2 (optional) disc diameter for slant-6 and A230 transmission. How can I know the correct one for my transmission? :thankyou:

To build a model of my Demon, I will mix two kits : The 71 Duster And the 71 Demon The Demon for the upper body and the round chrome mirrors (the Duster has Rallye mirrors). The Duster for the interior and the underneath (really better made and more realistic) and for the standard steering...

Here is it, with silver color transmission and an incorrect V8 7-blades fan (the 4-blades fan isn't provided with the kit).

Yes, I did. The classical model kit glue doesn't work on this plastic. It's better working with cyanolit. I will repaint the transmission with a lighter metallic grey.

Hi I want to build a 1/25 model of my Demon, but problem : it's a slant-six and model makers rarely offer 6 cylinders engines. I found a solution on Ebay : SLANT 6 MOPAR STOCK BASE ENGINE 3D print 1:8 1:10 1:12 1:18 1:24 1:25 scale JPGM | eBay The seller is located in Slovenia, but he is...

Do these mid-80's electric locks fit our 70/71's trunks? I know one for sale, but not sure I can install it.... EDIT : Thanks to FABO, I found the answer : Found source for electric trunk release for $40 These electric locks (part #4054962) are compatible with all A/B/E-bodies...

:rofl:

Interesting to have a former employee of Chrysler Corporation among our members. Did you work at Hamtramck factory? In relation with the thread subject, my broadcast sheet say 821 for the trans (line 4 "codes"). It's an A230 3-speed floor shift gearbox behind a slant-6

According to the Chrysler chart, 2998945 is a radiator part number for 1970 Dart/Valiant, 22", 318 w/o AC or 340 w/ AC. As said above, 18398 is probably the manufacturer code. In 1971, this code is 20446. At least, it’s the code of my 71 radiator.
