    [WANTED] 8 1/4 rearend posi unit

    The only thing specific about the Dakota diff is the axle-shaft spline count as posted above. A Sure Grip from a '73 Duster or '81 Diplomat will work in an '87-'96 Dakota, but not newer. The only other difference to consider is that there are two different types of Sure-Grips: the Borg-Warner...

    [WANTED] 8 1/4 rearend posi unit

    The numerically-low Sure Grip unit only fits 2.2x and 2.4x-series gears and is a bit of an oddball, being introduced with the A99x transmissions with the 2.74:1 first gear. Mega-steep axle ratios and a deep first gear were Chrysler's financially-strapped end-around to developing an overdrive...

    TV shows that you've BINGE watched

    Letterkenny, watched on PC. My television hasn't been connected to anything since 2014.

    [WANTED] Rear Brake Backing Plates for 8 3/4 Diff

    If you're going with the large (4½") bolt pattern, just get a complete drum setup off virtually any 5 x 4½" RWD/4WD up until at least the late 1990s. There are some minor internal differences, but they'll bolt on and work just fine. I've yet to see a later backing plate that didn't have the...

    Friends, lovers, Chevy cretins....Let's unf*ck a Six Pack

    No, no... I absconded with their kickdown linkage. That way they could chase me for the 5 or so minutes that their transmission lasted afterward. :D It's important to give people hope, even if it's false. :p

    Friends, lovers, Chevy cretins....Let's unf*ck a Six Pack

    The Six Pack throttle cable and kickdown linkage were specific to the engine, but... I ran a 440+6 '72 Charger around Atlanta for a couple of years. The car was my daily driver so I didn't have time to f__k around finding "correct" parts. I used the later 1-piece 440-4V kickdown I already...

    Make Your Own Paint Spray Bottle

    I sprayed a fender on my Trans Am back in 1991 using one of these. The paint went on OK and I did it with a single aerosol unit, but don't expect spray-gun results. You'd need to color-sand it a little before buffing. It's not really orange peel, it's just not perfectly smooth. The guy to...

    [WANTED] 1971 Challenger wide hood moulding (M28)

    Believe me, I'm aware of what I'm facing. :BangHead: My wallet still hurts from the beating it took for a repaired grille for this car. E-bodies are a different world entirely, but those were my Mopar starting point. As much as I hate it, I'm kind of accustomed to it. I think this moulding is...

    [WANTED] 1971 Challenger wide hood moulding (M28)

    Yeah, I know... A-body board, but most of the E-body forums are pretty dead, so it's worth a shot. I need the wide hood moulding used on Challengers in 1971 only. It matches up to wide fender mouldings, which I've already got. I believe the part number is 3579556 and the option code was M28...

    [Found!] 4 Speed Side Cover 66-70 A833

    You can use your current shift forks by cutting the interlock pins off the ends. They're otherwise identical.

    [SOLD] B and E body remote mirror #3548731

    OK, so the mirror is '71-'72 Mopar B-body and '71-'74 Mopar E-body. The B-body mirror changed in '73 (taller base with wider-set mounting screws). The remote bezel is for '71-'76 General Motors B-, C-, and E-body. It's the hot setup for folks that just gotta have 'Cuda mirrors on their...

    [SOLD] B and E body remote mirror #3548731

    The adjuster bezel is definitely not E-body, nor is it '71-'74 B. Is it removable?

    [FOR SALE] all-weather rolling/folding work "bench" $1,320.

    Is it as solid as it looks? What's required to get it running?

    Discount code raises already-insane shipping costs?

    I feel like I do, since I was there back when the phone-sales room held 50+ people for two shifts and a couple of guys doing weekday overnights. The phone system would go into overload from 7:30AM until about 2PM on Mondays; customers might be in the queue for 20 minutes or more. I'd walk past...

    Discount code raises already-insane shipping costs?

    Oh, there's no pressure from M&H whatsoever. Make no mistake; YearOne holds the reins in that relationship. However, M&H is ridiculously busy with their similarly-excellent GM harnesses, on which they make all the money. The Mopar harnesses are icing on the cake, and they're always behind on...
