    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    The ones currently in it have less than 300 miles on them, the guy at that drive shaft shop said they were "Heavy duty 1 ton U joints" I looked at them, they say made in USA, so that's comforting. I might just run these U joints, and if I get a new tube go to 3" tube. I Never knew there was so...

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    I agree, bigger and stronger is always better. Can I change the Pinion yoke with the 3rd member still in the car? (I've never done that before)

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    The slip yoke I have is about 6" long or so, is this a normal length for an A body? Since this one has a groove in it, I think it needs replaced. The slip yoke is actually out of a small motorhome, along with the engine block and transmission.

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    I I stabbed it in, backed out 1", its 48.5" just like @Oldmanmopar said. Jeez, there's some smart guys on here! I guess it's timeto cough up the cash for a new shaft. I sure appreciate all the help guys! :)

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    Okay guys, I looks like I'm at 47-5/8 CL U joints. (I measured from back of joints, see pics) I stabbed it back into the transmission and it felt like a mile went in, I tried to mark a reference point but couldnt seem to get a consistent measurement (user error) Also, I noticed my slip yoke had...

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    Okay, measured drive shaft, it is 47.375"- 47.25" CL of U joints. (UGH) Looks like its time for a new driveshaft. I did some calling and I was asked about my engine size, I know this was being used to know the wall thickness of tube to use. So now I have another random question, how much HP is...

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    I have had a strange vibration that is somewhat pulsating and increases with speed. In your opinion, could this be the culprit?

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    A-727 and 8-3/4. So I have a little over double what I should have eh?

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    Also,,,, Is 1-1/2" of yoke shaft sticking out of transmission too much? This is measured from the back of the U joint yoke to the rubber transmission tip.

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    Thank you!! Looks like my mount needed a little tweaking to fit (quality control issue) Its in!

    73 spool trans mount/ Drive shaft Blues..

    Hey, can someone tell me if I'm putting this thing in the correct direction? I have the crossmember mounted with the open side to the back, but now the bolt holes to the transmission is too far forward (it seems the trans it too far back?) let me know your guys thoughts!

    Carb question stock 340

    If you don't have overdrive, you won't enjoy 3.73 on the highway. I run 3.23s which aren't terrible at 60-75 MPH, not rodding the guts out of the engine. 3.55s are the best of both worlds, you give up a little on top end with higher engine speeds, but more low end grunt. Mine jumps at low...

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    Are mopar spark plugs 14mm thread? Google arrived me at that, but seems weird. My heads are 302 heads.

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    Wow, I have never heard of or seen a TDC piston stop tool before, this is a game changer! Thanks! I appreciate all the help guys!!

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    No they didnt have the balancer. Or at least not that I remember. We probably told them we were using the 318 one and they ran with it. Okay, I marked the balancer and revved the engine a few hard times and it never spun the outer ring. SO, I guess when we thought it spun, it was becuase the...

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    Will do, I fell victim to the Headman header sales pitch. lol So some parts have 1/16" clearance that could close with engine torque. (Ugh) I'm considering the 340 manifolds and ditching the headers. But those are pricy....

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    I'll try this, but if memory serves we had the timing mark to start with, then it went away. Lol So I assume it spun. I'll try this marking and see what happens. I messaged the engine shop and they reassured me that the engine was balanced correctly for the rods and pistons. They said they deal...

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    I bought it off another member on this site years ago. It is definitely a forged crank and he said it was out of a 340. I'll be giving the engine shop a call come monday and see what he did to balance them all together. Sounds like I'll end up having to pull the engine like you said. This is...

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    It is a 340 crank shaft in a 318 with all 318 rods and pistons. However they all spent time in an engine builder's shop together and he did his magic to make sure they would all work together. I thought the harmonic balancer off the 318 was fine (thanks for verifying what I was hoping) but at...

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    Okay, second question. If the harmonic balancer spun on the rubber, is it junk?

    340 crank with 318 harmonic balancer?

    I have a 318 with a 340 crank in it.Since the 340 crank is internally balanced, would a 318 harmonic balancer work? Or is that a bad idea?

    72 Dart Torsion bar replacements??

    Okay! Got the bars in the car, wow those boots are a bear even after boiling them! Looked at the old bars, one is 893 and the other 892. I saw 893 on the chart, but not an 892? Seemed weird, a mystery bar. Car sits much better, I'm ready for the test drive in a few days!
