Local is the way I went too after ordering and waiting and waiting for Legendary. Quicker and about 60% of the cost.

Thanks everyone. I’ve got some phone calls to make

Thanks for the info, but I’m specifically looking for who to get it from. Not the specs of what it should be.

Not on purpose, just old and forgetful Added above

That converter went with the car that I sold 10 years ago

I'm in the market for a new converter for my 904 behind a 360 in my street/strip 68 Cuda. The last converter I bought was an 8" ATI back 25+ years ago and wondering who I should be calling this time around. THANKS

New Axles and side gears from Dr Diff installed. Test drive should be tomorrow.

Dr Diff got back to me and apparently it's a common problem with the old Power-Locks with 2 side gears. Looks like I need to upgrade my unit to the wide 1-piece side gears and replace my messed up axle.

Dumb question for the group that has me stumped. I bought a '68 Cuda that had an 8-3/4" with a 741 case with 2.93 open gears and good big-bolt pattern Yukon axles with green bearings. I bought a used complete 3rd member (741 case with 3.91 gears and the good Powr-Lock clutches), installed...

I currently run Doug's D-450 on my 63 Valiant and love them. The install is tight, but just be patient and you'll be fine. I installed mine with the engine & tranny in place and found that pulling the torsion bars made it a piece of cake. Top starter bolt is fun, but was regardless of the...

Depends on the quality of the bodywork/paint job and how much time you like to spend keeping her perfect. Nothing looks better than black on a perfectly straight body that's baby'd. And nothing looks worse than black if it's not perfect. The light/bright colors will hide a multitude of...

If you want quiet inside the car, DO NOT GO WITH FLOWMASTER. Or any other chamber styled muffler. You want a straight thru/fiberglass packed muffler. I replaced my Flowmasters with MagnaFlows (Dynomax would have worked too) because I was sick of the interior resonance. After a 30 minute...
