Thanks to all who arranged and showed at the event! Was awesome getting out there to check out stuff and hobble around finding odds and ends in the swap :)

You can count on it! ;)

Ah this is rad! This thread is getting me pumped. Not driving the Swinger, but will absoluuuuutely be checking things out all day and crossing my fingers for some good finds :) What sponsors/vendors will be there aside from the used swap vendors?

Pm sent

Success! Found a flat tipped bit that was the perfect diameter to let me thread those guys in. Now I wait for the sun to come out and I can put these things on :D Thanks, guys!! EDIT: I just wanted to toss it up on here that I have 8 extra studs, so if someone one day does a search for studs...

I was just looking in the garage for some bits that will be just a smidge smaller than the studs, so that there's less plastic to bite away for the threads. Trying to transfer photos, but they won't send...gyah. Going to try opening the hole some and will stay optimistic... ... :)

Well, ****...I'm already committed trying to go with the studs that have the lip lol I really do appreciate the recommendation, but getting these things to work since I've already bought them would be optimal.

It would be a very coarse threaded helicoil (I got a pack like these 1970 Dart Swinger 340 Hood Scoop Mounting Stud Kit New MoPar) I'd prefer to not go buy a helicoil for it, but I do suppose that would be a good option if I cant figure something else out :)

Alright, I'm not sure why it's not working, but the self tapping studs arent tapping, they're just eating the channels that they're supposed to sit in. I have two scoops for my 70 Dart hood and was missing 8 studs between the two scoops. I got a bag of extra studs and need to toss them in, but...

Trans is gone :'/

grr, sorry for the late replies, guys. Didnt get a notification email until just now. Couldn't get a hold of the first guy over the weekend, but that seemed to be a technical difficulty. If the pick up falls through with him I will be sure to start going down the list :)

I can definitely get you the stamp number when I get back down there next week. If next Friday isn't too long for you to wait, that's when I can get you a definite mfr year.

Hey guys, I moved up to the Sacramento area and left this in my family's garage. It's a 904 3 speed that I had bolted up to the 318 in my dart but the snout on the torque converter cracked, it puked oil, was slipping before that and dribbles a bit from the pan gasket. If any of you local guys...

Aw man! I'm off at work in Boise right now, and will be passing right through there...but not until the middle of august :/. I'm very interested, but don't have space for the larger parts either like the seat backs and fender. If you don't offload it, any chance I could swing by middle of the...

Why did you decide to sell? Any shift rods? How'd it shift when you used it and have you checked the teeth on the gears? Thanks!
