Doing a 4 speed conversion. Just took this out of my 1968 Dart. Note the shift knob is not 1968 and the reverse button pops out for some reason but otherwise this functions well. $200 plus $20 for shipping in continental US. PayPal or you can mail me a check if it clears I’ll mail it to...

Man, that does the trick. Thanks for taking the time to do this. The pic from behind is what everybody that runs into this problem needs to see - or when they take the door off thy should not wait 2 plus years to put it back on. Lol. Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice. Im going to ditch the p valve and try getting buy without it. If i have a problem i am going to add a simple p valve just to the rear line.

Lol wrong link. Anyway its the fancy SSBC combo proportioning valve which hooks up to both the front a rear brakes.

i installed this proportioning valve on by my MC on my 68 Dart (on which i now have disk brakes all around). The new valve is before the factory hydraulic safety switch which is mounted on the frame. I know the proportioning valve is not supposed to be mounted before a "distribution block." Is...

Here is a pic of an old pin seated in the bushing.

Interestingly, I have figured two things out. Both of the new pins do not have enough threads cut on them to draw down tight. In fact, with the nut tightened down the big fat washer just flops around and I can move the lca in and out of the bushing. So, I doubled the washers and got the...

This is a pic of my drivers side lca pivot pin as it goes into the k member (68 DART). There is about a quarter of an inch of the pivot pin showing - it's shiny. The nut is tight but not torqued and I can move the lca up and down easily. Does the pivot pin draw down when you torque the nut...

Check Mancini racing. Just bought new tie rod ends - all moog and half as much or so as the summit or jegs price. Given the hassle of getting them on and off I wouldn't go with cheap right, IMO.

Just found this plug thingy on ebay for the Mopar VR. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RPT-10001-voltage-regulator-connector-pigtail-plug-Dodge-Chrysler-Plymouth-Mopar-/301591173455?hash=item46383c194f&vxp=mtr

AJ/FormS. Yup, I know a VR when I see one. I didn't think to look under the dash though. I'll take a look. But, I think there is not one. My car hadn't been on the road for 15 years when I bought it. It didn't run. I've got a new carb etc on it now and it runs good, for about 10 minutes...

Abodyjoe. Thanks for posting the wiring diagram. Man I love this forum. I ordered the exact VR you suggest last Sunday or so and I was thinking I need to figure how to wire it up tomorrow and I check in here ....and there ya go. Thanks!

You can just get the hose made at most Napa parts stores. They have the correct ends. The trick though is to make a mock up hose by cutting an old hose to length and then taping the old ends on at the exact angle you need. Then tell the Napa guy to copy it. I had the hose you need made...

Thanks for all the good advice Bill. I think I'm going to patch things up so I can drive my car this summer, and then deal with re-wiring next winter. I've considered the premade wiring harness approach, but it seems unnecessary and expensive. I like your approach better.
