    "gripper pattern" u bolt question

    Both my 62 and 64 b-bodies with original 8 3/4 rears, 64 is an original 8 3/4 Sure-Grip, do not have the flat top knurl u-bolts. When I rebuilt the 62 rear I put the flat u-bolts on it, fearing the worst. Just redid the 64, couldn't find the flat top ones, bought them from Espos along with the...

    A body with an A833 and a Gear Vendor installed

    I've seen a few videos of people driving with a GV with an auto, but not a manual. I'd go this route if I come across an E/B body trans. Dodge 4-Speed Man - Gearvendors

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    This morning I asked a question in another thread about clips. Dan Brewer chimed in just now with the answer and pics, we all love pics, without being tagged or named or anything. Almost like he's a professional who's knowledgeable and active and supports his current and future customers...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    Wow, kudos to you, and thank you. I looked into the factory OD, but since I have a big block my understanding is I would need a specific bellhousing, a truck one iirc. My thought was I could swap in an OD if a long trip was planned. With my rebuilt A833 4 speed and efi, sway bars, it's a...

    Installing linkage clips

    How are yous guys installing these though? The entire clip under the stud, or the head of the stud through the two sections of the clip? And why are the clips wider on one leg, and opposite on the inner vs outer side? Iirc, I'm putting the entire clip under the head of the stud, then I turn...

    '69 Barracuda T56 swap, floor, cross member

    How far back is needed for that shifter/hump? Is it possible to measure from the floor/firewall seam, or maybe I missed that in this thread. I have a bench seat 4 speed, I know the bench will not work, but it would be nice to know. No plans to remove the bench, it's actually extremely...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I'm better for going through it. Bonus, my daughter was there every step of the way, every day, and she learned more than I can state, how to give people a chance to fail, how to deal with people who do not have your best interests in mind, countless scenarios. The support I received here at...

    I Chose the 383 Big Block

    I bought 2 used 383s because that's what was available for dirt cheap. Not disappointed at all. Aluminum heads and a tunnel ram, enjoy. This is the Big Block A Body Tech forum after all.

    14x7 steel wheels with 5x4 bolt pattern

    Check locally for 14x7 chrome reverse sbp. I see them pop up regularly, rusty, crusty, blast and paint.

    Removing glued on carpet, any tips?

    I've had luck with Automotive Goo-Gone, make sure it's the Automotive variant. Removes undercoat too. Also, it's easier to remove things with like things, for example I've used oil to remove a petroleum based glue, whereas using hot water and soap was useless.

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    That matthon dude knows a thing or two. Passon, Huff, GFI, they're all criminals, they continue to market and sell, and charge big $, for a trans that they know, and have known for many years, is defective. I've had discussions with Passon multiple times and met him, he's incompetent. He didn't...

    [WANTED] '62 Dodge Lancer Disc Brake Conversion

    I bought the front/rear suspension out of a low mile 69 Barracuda and swapped it all into my 62 Valiant. The front suspension had been converted to Scarebird disc, from what I'm told too pricey/not worth it. Came with a dual master, proportioning valve, shocks, everything. I had to run new lines...
