No, they are clean. I must have mixed up the torsion bar and the front sway bar diameter. It's hard getting old.

You are correct and I edited my original post. Torsion bars are .89 and the front sway bar is .94 OD

My 68 does not follow the rules. I have to check, it is in the basement. It was all original, except the torque convertor and maybe the heads, when I got it all those years ago.

I'll check.

I have more than 30 AVS's, but believe what you want.

318 piston pins are too long, besides you would mess up your balance. Commando pins are not the thick wall pins like a 2 barrel piston.

Not buying that one. I'm running .88 factory bars and the original 6 leaf Formula S rear springs with Bilstein shocks on the 66. I definitely don't need bigger bars. I have the original .89 on the 68 383 Barracuda, they work also. Neither sets of bars are going into the trash. One size does...

No idea when the revision was made could be anytime.

High speed, more handling, no drag race. 195/55R15 V rated all around.

Where did you get your Monroes? I'm pulling the KYB's off the 73 Dart and want something decent without spending the coin as I do on the Barracudas.

It is a 69 440 HP automatic carb for B and C Body cars with and without AC. One of the best carbs ever made. The date code is April 1971 when it was manufactured. "S" means it is an assembly. "A" means it has been revised once.

LOL, There is no intelligence in AI. the 3858s AFB is for a 1965, 413 cu in big block, in a C-Body. Not even close for a 273. You should be able to get it running if it is in decent shape though. It is jetted too rich and has no velocity valve in the secondary. Additionally the correct AFB...

What are the numbers on the AFB? Should be 3854s for 1965, 4120s for 1966, or 4295s for 1967. All will work well. Sounds like intake valves are leaking. Find TDC on the compression stroke and make sure the rotor is under the #1 plug wire. Double check your plug wire positions, VR1 oil is...

If you only have 52,000 miles, your cam and lifters are probably OK. Your rings are probably stuck on the low cylinders. Change the oil to a good 10w-30 synthetic oil and a good filter. The AFB carb is not correct. Adjust the valves. Replace the freeze plugs with brass ones. Replace the...

Vette? Superbirds are beautiful! 200 mph with ease.

I’ll test it for you. Will start a conversation.

Factory 66, 67 273 AFB.

The ones I had, had chrome fasteners with integral washers.

I’d buy one or two.

In reality, we all have to adjust the lash static before we fire it up. I read you check lash in more than one spot also. I adjusted valves static for years, never had a problem.

Yes, the nice thing is you don’t have to change everything. Plus, if I don’t like how the O/D drives, I just pop the original A-833 back in. The more I do of the conventional “wisdom”, the more I just like the original stuff, for the most part. Nothing wrong with an A-833, a set of 3.23 gears...

You must use a O/D mainshaft. The way I'd change your 64 to 67 A-833 to an O/D is to use your main housing and buy an O/D gear set, a 26 spline O/D main shaft, and a 26 spline A-Body tailshaft housing, and a 3-4 O/D shifter rod. That way it will just bolt in to what you have now. Assuming you...

There used to be a tight, close tolerance hole and a tight tolerance slot so the K frame would self align. If some one opened up that tight hole, all bets are off. At this point, leave the 4 bolts loose, get your suspension lined up, and tighten the K frame bolts. I'm afraid that is the best...

LOL even a slant six guy can do it. Did it that way since I was 19 and that was a long time ago. Did it that way at the dealers on a major tune up through the 70's. We are talking stock interference adjusters, not adjusters with lock nuts. Yours and my idea of a "decent engine" is probably...

Glad to have you back! They are everywhere. Just do not engage, they are not worth it. Say your piece and be done, truth wins out.

I have an extra set. Will take pictures later today.

Definitely not.

Those are B-Body exhaust manifolds.

Bought a 73 four door Dart, from a friend with 30,000 original miles on it. 318, disc brakes, A/C auto on the column. The ex was always running it down, but I'd load up 3 kids and stuff for 2 weeks every summer in South Dakota with my dad. Every stop someone would admire the car and want to...

I might have one black headrest.
