    Electronic ignition upgrade.

    Well in my case, my car is a 68, I'm using an electronic era distributor to trigger an HEI. "hidden" black HEI module is less noticeable than an orange box under the hood. While NO, not much under there is stock anyway, there's one less thing jumping out at you. I went the HEI route ONLY after...

    Electronic ignition upgrade.

    I made my own under distributor bracket for the HEI module using some 1/4" aluminum plate, and added an additional finned heat sink. If you go that route, Be sure to use thermal paste and make sure the mounting surface (bracket/plate whatever) doesn't have any high spots or burrs. You want...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    @Turbosmblk Thanks for that info. I might be able to use a push-on/push-off toggle switch to leave reverse engaged if I need both hands for parking lot maneuvering rather than a momentary contact push button.

    Not sure if there’s a question there, but the valve body is a hybrid I guess, original cast valve portion with billet block plate

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    I don't have the Transbrake version. Maybe I should have gotten that one, but I didn't think I wanted to hold a button while backing in/out of parking spaces with manual steering. I think it was a botched rebuild job. I found a snap ring that everybody says doesn't belong in any Mopar...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    Thinking back, I'm reasonably sure I MIGHT have hit O/D, but I KNOW I didn't L/U. In stock form, The O/D, though engaged via a solenoid, is still a hydraulic function. The solenoid opens a valve that sends fluid to the O/D piston. In this valve body, he just directs fluid physically just like...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    No, I for some reason have to complicate everything. I used a Cope reverse manual valve body. He engages O\D manually. You use a standard ratchet shifter, but it goes PR1234, you don't have neutral. I sure hope I don't regret going this route, and it is causing me some angst.

    If I had room I'd have that Duster in my garage before the weekend.

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    FWIW, I did mine without the “special” tools, just a $28 amazon digital caliper. The round bar is 5.5. “, and the caliper extends enough to down to where yo need, you just need to be careful to measure to the right “landing” and subtract 5.5 inches from the reading to get to what the chart is...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    Well, I had figured it was going to take some time to get this sorted. Working here & there between work & my dad’s problems I’ve made some progress and said I would update. Since I had asked for a performance build but basically got a V6Dakota level freshen-up, I decided to dive in. I went on...

    A518 46RH rebuild

    Well, it looks clean, but I didn’t bother measuring clearances because when I ordered it, I knew it was a flats pump and I have a brand new lug drive converter and I thought I could just put my pump parts into the new housing. The flats drive pump is a larger diameter so my parts leave too much...

    A518 46RH rebuild

    Just check your stuff over real well if you get stuff from trans parts online. I’m building a 42RH right now and had to order a new pump. I ordered it and after not hearing anything for a couple days, I called out there around 8:30 AM California time and I think I woke the dude up. he said he...

    I can't help myself

    I can't remember if you had already picked an interior color. Will this change the interior or work with what you had already started? It's great that the shop has been making continuous progress, So many of these builds lag on forever.

    1968 Dart radio bracket question

    The Grenada and Sunbird both went airborne, as did my moms Capri. The buddy that hit me with the nickname had the record with his moms Datsun 310 though.

    1968 Dart radio bracket question

    Me & a buddy skipped school on a snowy day and we were bombing around in my car. We were in the next town over and I came around a corner in second and started a good sideways slide -steering into it and realized we were in a school zone. The crossing guard came over and started yelling and told...

    1968 Dart radio bracket question

    It also looks like mine is installed incorrectly. It looks like theres a stud on the lower rail of the dash frame, and there might be a nut on the forward side of that. Ima gonna need to look into that

    Front Shock Recommendation

    I would suggest 1.03 bars min. I don't recall too many potholes in Florida, no matter where I went. I have 1.12, but can't provide any feedback yet as I only have 7 miles on it so far. Concerned that I might have gone a little overboard, but time will tell.

    Where to get quality light sockets

    I bought some salvage sockets from a member. After I wired them up, I enveloped the backside of entire front side marker light in a glob of duct-seal hoping to prevent the new lights & sockets from corroding. The pot metal 68 light gets spray from the front tire. As a side note, I also got...
