I owned a '66 Dart GT with an HP 273/4-speed. I got rid of it 'cuz I could not find any nice wheels to fit the 4-bolt 13" setup. I owned a '68 Dodge Charger 440HP R/T 833 car. It was gorgeous. I traded it for a Chevelle with a 396 'cuz it was well known that to build a hot-rod, you HAD to...

I read the thread...but maybe missed it. I see no mention of the wattage spec of the bulbs used. You have to know that. That style of bulb comes in at least 18W, 12W, 3.7W and 2.7W. THOSE figures are dependent on the voltage listed...which varies from 12.8-14V. The color (K number) will...

I ordered a high-bucket cover set from Legendary a couple years back. LONG wait. I didn't notice until they were installed that the welt in the backside of the upper cover was crooked. No, not installed crooked, but sewn in crooked. Very disappointing for the kilo+ bucks paid (with...

I'm impressed. Starting from 'Help, what's the problem?' to finding the problem, to resolving the problem...and that included engine removal, a head set AND cam replacement...all in one thread in a few days. Not saying it's never happened, just that it's unusual. I'm sure someone like...

...replacements for the (OEM) chrome-plated plastic bits that fit on the end of the temp selection/control levers. OEM is OK but not critical. I do see aftermarket pieces available...for $20 each and +$10 shipping. That's a bit much. IF OEM, preferably with the 'chrome' NOT flaking...

Whoa. A Jeep that you can order with a Hellcat? Clearly, I haven't kept up with 'stuff'. Thanks for the input!!

Went to the local track last night. It was mostly test-n-tune, street legal stuff... A '65 Mustang. Didn't make enough noise to even HEAR. Hit 2nd gear hard enough to move the car MORE than his line launch. Ran within thousandths of a perfect light AND within thousands of his dial-in...

I've not done it that I know of, but I've read that there is room for TWO rollers in the cavity of the input shaft...that two of them can sit there after being displaced and you won't know it from anything you can see. The 1000 miles a year was meant to be taken in the extreme. More likely...

A hypothetical: Suppose, while placing the 833 mainshaft into the input gear, a roller is displaced. What's a guess as to how long it would take to feel/know/find out that happened? I had my 833 apart 30 years ago and maybe made that error. The car is rarely driven..and rarely in this...

Thanks. Although...being a exspurt, I don't need luck. I HAVE had an 833 apart before, and even put it back together! ...once. ;)

No bueno. Noise was MUCH reduced, but a good-n-hot ride later brought it noticeably back. It's (trans) gotta come out. Thanks to all for input. I do understand it was starry-eyed wishin' that a fluid change would 'fix' anything, but I was hopeful. ...don't like that word. It might make...

Update: New lube in the tranny. If I hadn't heard it before to have an idea what to listen FOR, I wouldn't hear anything now. The way it is now would never have caught my attention. I was figuring it would shift a whole lot different going from ATF to 90W gear oil. Not so much...

Yes. Everything there is snug...complete with proper spring clips on the shifter rod ends. This noise is not of an external nature. There is a 'depth' to the noise. It seems to be coming from inside the trans. I did recently replace the OEM crossmember mount with a poly-bushed version...

Understood and agreed. That's what bothers me most about the matter...that it's maybe engine based not transmission based. I have spent time looking for the problem from an engine perspective, mostly spark; wires, rotor, cap, boots and such. I have not found anything wrong to date...but I am...

TO bearing does not touch the plate fingers when running, clutch pedal not pressed. When the noise is going on...the TO bearing is not moving. A Hurst T-handle with a Line-Loc button. I hope to not be so lucky with my noises. This occurred to me: Some years back I knew a guy that put a...

Thank you. I picked up a 26-spline 833 years ago as a spare, did not realize at the time it WAS a 26, did not know back then there was such a thing. I am considering using it as a stand-in for the 833 I am currently using...as it might have some problems of its own and might be taken out...

An education, please, on the history and reason for the two different spline configurations for the 833? Was it the introduction of the 340 that brought about the 30 spline shaft? I presume the 30 spline shaft is larger in diameter than the 26? Will the 26 spline live with a 340 OK? My...

It does occur to me that I'm worried about no big deal. Is it noisy? Certainly. Is it a problem? Maybe not? I don't generally sit IN the car with it idling. That I think it's a brand new noise could be incorrect on my part. Sounds like trouble to me. Reading about noises the 833 makes...

That's good to know. Thanks.

Thanks! It's been awhile since I looked inside. I remembered (which I do poorly) that there was room to leave the cluster in. That makes it all the more complicated: Both the front bearing replacement, AND the remembery. Having never taken an 833 completely apart (I replaced a broken 2nd...

Dexron isn't 'made for' stick transmissions. The folks selling the New Process gearboxes in their cars (Mopar) say it is suitable for use in those gearboxes. No argument is being made that Dexron is The Best oil for the job, but it cannot be argued that it is NOT suitable for use...

Clutch is a McLeod B&B/Long combo, an 11"/10.5" plate/disc combo. Call it a 10.95" plate if that suits. Fluid is Dexron. Before you guffaw, hoot, and deride, keep in mind that Ma Mopar says Dexron is fine for cold weather use. I wouldn't race with it, but that's not how I use the car these...

Looking for best guesses on new breakage. It's a transmission issue. It might be clutch related, but kind'a doubt it. Engine running, trans in neutral, clutch pedal pushed, things are quiet. Let the pedal out, and I can hear and feel (in the shifter) a gravelly racket. Not quite rocks in a...

Yes, it is a vent line that went to the OEM canister in the engine bay...but at the tank it runs THRU a separator (inside the tank), so it can NOT be used as a return fuel line?

My '73 Duster fuel tank has a hose fitting on the top, presumably for the vapor capture setup that was originally on the car. That fitting is connected to a vapor separator inside the tank? As such, the fitting could NOT be used as a return line? Not for EFI, but for a fuel return to help...

Re: Installation of carb spacer and heat shield. Which works better: Spacer below the heat shield, or the way around? I could make an argument for either, but I'm sure there is a preferred sequence. Thanks for the input!

#1 #2 #1: Good. #2: Must'a got lost...somewhere down the line My Duster came with 3.23s. Driving in San Francisco with 'em? Ha! It was a joke. ...my clutch din't think it was at all a funny joke neither.

Batteries are a problem. Period. The brand you bought 'last time' may now be manufactured by someone else than made the 'last time' battery or, at the least, it won't be the same in mfg spec or quality. By 'spec' I don't mean useless CCA or AH numbers, but plate thickness and spacing, quality...

I had a 6C for 20 or so years with the above cam and Accel -003 (iirc the PN) coil. It was certainly a good starter-upper! BUT...that setup suffered from a problem it took me years to sort out. Every once in awhile, it would start running 'fer shite. Bad. BAD...as in barely get down the...

I recently read about a dyno test that didn't go well. Nick's Garage. Blown head gasket. Oil feed. It gets smoky at 32:30, bad gasket at 48:30. You can't say you're so special as to be the only one! Not any comfort in that I'm sure. I never did find anything to read about the 'fix' or...
