    Clutch Linkage Problem

    ...is that your Z-bar is a little too far to the inboard side. To Reiterate; the Z-bar needs to be parallel to the ground; and in top view, at 90* to the centerline of the car. The outboard end needs to be anchored to the Nylon ballbushing with the funky horseshoe clip. and yes after all is...

    A833 Transmission leaking at reverse light switch

    Yes this is very common and every new one I ever bought from the dealer also leaked there. Here is the cure; you will need a spraycan of Brakleen, a package of two-part epoxy( JB-Weld is ok ) compressed air, and a bench vise. 1) clean the outside 2) clamp the switch in in a vise, contacts down...

    sloppy shifter

    I have been running various A833s almost continuously since 1970. In the beginning, with the factory Hurst shifter, but one of the first upgrades I did was a Mr. Gasket shifter, which I still use today, Daymn thing is over 50 years old, and is still in as received condition. What I have noticed...

    FAIL right out of the package.

    And here I have been bragging on their big square-top SuperCoil that hasn't skipped a beat in over 20 years, hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Should I start carrying a spare? Hell no, I'm retired now and don't have to be anywhere on time, except maybe to my funeral, lol

    Help converting my 64 to 66 23 Spline 8A33 to an overdrive ?

    This is a hard read for me; 1) Do you want to convert your trans, as in take it apart and install the overdrive gears? or 2) Do you want to drop your current trans, heave it into the back-40, and then buy/install a good used overdrive box? I mean reading your post, I think both scenarios are a...

    Leakdown test on rebuilt engine

    Did you do a compression test? A Leakdown test? A blowby test? In your case; First let me say; here is a wild card; if the oil has been washed off the cylinder wall in the low-reading cylinder, for whatever reason, well; ALL BETS ARE OFF. Assuming this has not occurred, then; If you only have...

    Valve adjustment.......

    I set mine at ambient temp of ~70*F. That way I can take all day, it don't matter if I a take lunch break in between. The magic numbers for me have always been .013 and .023 Too tight on the exhaust usually makes mine run funny. Like herky-jerky, but, Mine is 9.5Scr with a bit of a cam, lol.

    Non A-body mopar question

    In my 55 years of street driving, I've had quite a few cars with 7.25s/and autos and have never even hurt one of them. One of them even had a high-pressure, 340-2bbl with headers. Now transmissions, those I have blown up.

    Speedo gears

    I switched from a 150 speed-O to a 120, just to get the better graduations. I used the same transmission Speed-O gear. However, I have seen cables be a problem in the transmission of the "signal".

    Hi

    Hi, back, nice car. I got my Driver's license in 69. My Second Mopar was a 65 V100 station wagon. and, I have had a 64 Barracuda, as well; as numerous other 67>80, A and F cars. I bet in the past 50 years, I have seen about every problem that could possible "pop up", in those cars. IDK if I...

    clutch fan won't fit

    ...Ford Pick-up truck; while the fan is a big 7-blade, also pirated off that 73Dart. This system is adequate enough that I can run a minimum 207* cooling system temperature, and; it is adequate enough to occasionally run an idle-timing as low as 5* advanced, which allows for parading at 3.5...

    How to fix steering slop?

    With the engine not running, that is normal. Start it up and test it again. You can Modify that box to make it better but, you cannot eliminate it, because the boost control valve needs some rotation to activate the Power-Piston.

    Monthly internet connection costs. Question?

    Internet, TV, and landline; $165C per month. Yeah I'm retired too, and I feel it; so, I farm out my skills, for eggs, milk, and bread. I don't smoke nor drink, and my hotrod is parked, so, we're getting by.

    273 Rocker on 340

    ...to them, as would running less lift than at least what the Edelbrock springs are capable of. As to the 718001 cam; Installed with an Ica of 68* the V/P ratio is predicted to be 126, about the same as a 5.2 Magnum, which is what it's gonna feel like under say 3000.rpm, so, yur gonna need to...

    5.9 magnum and the ax15

    @Newbomb Turk Is that a race car then? or a two-cylinder? or a 6000 pound barge? I ran that 15/1 for a few weeks and couldn't stand it. A decent hi-pressure 360 like mine hardly cares anywhere between 9 to 11. I prefer a 10/1 cuz I don't have to shift 2 car-lengths out, in town. I actually ran...

    Small block headers: worst to best fitting. List your experience.

    ...the spool mount at the back. Initially, I used the Mopar starter, but when it died, I switched to the Dakota ministarter. and I do not use the 90* filter adapter, opting for a short filter instead. But ya gotta know, to get the driver's side in the first time, dropped the steering, took the...

    5.9 magnum and the ax15

    Even the Mopar 3.09 is a bit much for anything over 3.55s, unless you have an engine with a really sucked out bottom end. I mean I really enjoy my 11/1 starter gear because with 185psi CCP, it's a dump-it-and-go deal; but really, it's way more starter than I need. On the other hand, a 4/1 low...

    5.9 magnum and the ax15

    Just so you know; the stock 5.9 has more than enough grunt to run any A833 4-speed, with any rear gear, in any A-body; and there are 4 SBM ratios to chose from. ...... and they fit like a glove ...... and on the street, they scoff at 450 ftlbs...

    Strange Clutch Issue

    ...thru to a groove on the od of those white plastic ball receivers. The installed Z-bar should be parallel to the ground in rear view; and at about 90* to the centerline of the car, as viewed from the top. If you have headers, make sure they don't rub on the clutch business, even when torqued...

    Getting fed up of high-perf , being happy with less

    I'm only 71, and my HO 367 is stone-axe reliable, goes 93 in the Eighth. It is now old and tired and rusty as heck, so I don't drive it much anymore. However, I would still not be afraid to drive it anywhere as I have in the past. It was built in 1999, and all bugged out by 2004, and now only...

    Solid lifter initial valve lash adjustment

    My engine has a 276/286/110 cam and hydraulic lifters, and was initially set-up at 1/4 turn preload. This quickly proved to be inadequate, as soon after break-in it began to tick. I reset the preload to 1/2 a turn. And so it was quiet for a long time. Eventually, I got the idea that if I ran...

    Advancing stock cam in a 360?

    Power Disc Brakes not working on hard stop?

    Just saying My 68 Barracuda has the KH 4-pistont calipers and rotors, that I pirated from a 70 Duster. I swapped the Dual Diaphragm out for a 73>75 Single, I think it camo from an F-body. The M/C was pulled from a mid 70s car. The Combination valve was pulled from a box of used stuff I had...
