MOPAR things I learned the hard way..

According to the Chevy guys they are slow, until they get beat, then excuse a, b, c, d..........

Dakotas suck to work on

Some Ford wheels get ridiculously stuck on Mopar front and rear hubs

Most parts guys, even the dealers (back then) had no idea what a "6 barrel," a "six pack" or "three deuces" means

Most parts guys think a 23 spline is larger than an 18, HEY!! More splines!!

If your brake lights quit on a 70/ later, sometimes you can rewire the TS switch at the expense of no hazard flashers

Mopar single point distributors really suck

Pre-70 Mopars are the easiest cars in the world to hot wire

If you have trouble lining up the 833, you can put it in reverse and any forward gear it will go into. This locks the splines to the case, and you can "wiggle" it in

The 10.9/ 11" scalloped clutches on 70 440's really really really really really really really sucked

When you break the 3-4 shift fork at the start of a holiday weekend, you CAN drive in first and second gear but it SUCKS!!


Just like Redfish said (I think) you CAN get the dash frame out without removing the windshield

Never sell it you will regret it!!
