I figured to step up to a modern day mopar muscle car and purchased a 2010 challenger ,but still have my dart sport that I run occasionally totally stock and slow. I had upgraded about two years ago to a 8/34 rear diff with a rebuilt 742 3.55 rear. did it as a duel purpose car street/ strip...

Anyone here have a source for obtaining just shims for setting up pinion depth ? I would like to get locally, but haven't had any luck only through mail order and I'm no longer comfortable giving info over the net, Tried the various chain stores but no one stocks or can get a shim kit, only the...

Not sure where to post this, either here or the race section, but here it goes. Can a reverse pattern manual valvebody be used in a stock linkage console equipped car. I know an after market shifter can use either, but considering going with either a reverse pattern or a fwd pattern instead...

Getting some different answers, from chevy guys mostly, but my thoughts are a torque convertor should respond better from an engine that produces more torque. Am I wrong in thinking this ?

Has anyone on here ever welded balance weights on a neutral balance convertor to use it on an ext. bal. motor. I have a good neutral bal. I would like to use on an ext. bal. motor. I haven't had any luck on a used B&M flexplate and found weights for half the price. I have a 220 amp mig welder to...

Thinking of doing some upgrades on my stock low comp 360 and was thinking of a head swap, cam change and possibly headers to boost some more power without pulling the motor and piston swap, so my question is has anyone just swapped edelbrock heads out of the box and noticed any difference ...

Still looking for a used B&M flexplate # 10236 to mount a neutral bal. convertor to a smallblock cast crank. Hate to buy new if I don't need to, doesn't have to be SFI certified. What do you have ? Shipping to be in Pa 17257, thanks..

Picked up a 727 and never went through one, so my questions who here has done one and any special tools needed or if so anything that can be used in place of the special tools. Been a mechanic for several years but never got into trans rebuilds, any help, experiences would be great. Sorry if...

Looking for a used flexplate to use on a ext. balance 360. I have a neutral balance convertor I would like to use, but need the required flexplate. Doesn't need to be SFI approved, can be expired if it is. 727 trans, South Central Pa. Thanks, :burnout:

I have a 1975 dart 360 and would like to use my neutral balance convertor with this ext balance 360. Friend of mine has a flexplate, I haven't seen it but he had it behind a ext bal 340 or 360 he is not sure, been several years. The number on it is 10234. I can't seem to locate this number...

I was looking through the Jegs, Summit catalogs and noticed the Street Demon carb that comes in 650 and 750 CFM. Appears as though they are a knockoff of the old thermoquad, anyone out there used one yet and if so I would like your thoughts. I'm currently using a 625 carter and have considered a...

S Central Pa guys/gals. I'm asking if anyone in this area knows of a 75 Plymouth scamp that may be still in the area. Was painted B5 blue years ago when it was my son's first car that we fixed up. He decided a year or two later that he wanted a new neon, so since all the money put in the car was...

Made some passes on a rebuilt 742 case and used the Valvoline 80/90 gear oil that states that it has the limited slip additive in it. I made 6 passes and noticed last weekend that I'm getting clutch chatter when backing up and pulling forward in slight turns. The diff was set up by a local known...

So, I install my rebuilt center section yesterday, and today I take off to the local AZ , just to pick up some gear oil. Should've known better but all I get there once in a great while is fluids. I pick up 3 qrts. of gear oil and a manager proceeds to tell me about his 572 cubic inch motor that...

Time to move the rears. I have an 8 1/4 rear for an A body. I got this rear about 5 years ago at Carlisle Chrysler Show, was missing the backing plates, but I have ones off a B body rear that should work. Has 3.21 open rear. I know nothing about this rear. I've had it since then and it's been...

I just put the shorter of the B body rears in my dart. I transferred the 8/14 backing plates and brakes from that diff onto the B body diff, only because they were all new months ago. I reused the 8/14 brake drums since they were used on the 8/14. I have new drums sitting in the boxes for the B...

Haven't had the chance to get to the track yet. I wondered if someone could give me an idea if the would be much change in in RPM'S from going from a 39' to a 3.55 gears. I have two tire choices that I will use. One being a street tire and another a Hoosier quick time tire. Check the diameter...

I picked up a 742 case sure grip and wanted to use but I found out that it's missing the buttons or pins that keeps the axles from moving in and out or in adjustment. Can these buttons be put in the suregrip without taking the sure grip apart. Not familiar with the sure grip. any help would be...

I was looking on NHRA's site for wheel stud info. I'm a bit confused, if I understand this. 13.99 and slower doesn't require longer studs, unless your running slicks? does that mean a DOT type as well? Can you run stock wheel studs and slicks or DOT type slicks if you run slower than 13.99, or...

Looking for some recommendations on rear shocks for a dart sport. I replaced the worn out stock springs with replacements but still sags some. I reused the air shocks that were on the car, but want to remove them and go with something that will give me a little more ride height and can be used...

Can backing plates and brakes from an 8/14 rear housing be swapped onto a big bolt B body housing. I just swapped out a B body bare housing in place of my 8/14 on a 75 dart sport. The 8/14 has brand new brakes, hardware, park brake cables ect and would like to reuse if possible, instead of...

Putting a B Body rear into an A body and the factory perches have already been removed when I got it. So my question is, to get the proper measurement for the perches, can I use the inside flange of the housing to place the new perches ? I had thought of removing the 8/14 rear and placing the...

Looking for some info on using a summit brand wiring harness for a 69 RR with upgrade electronic ignition. I will try to make this short. A friend of mine is putting an x race car back on the street, mostly complete except having issues with the wiring directions that came with the wiring kit...

I got a lead on 2 different 8/34's One is a 742 case and the other is a 489. Which or is both re buildable and which would be a better diff ? Cost wise, rebuilding if need be which would be the better choice ? Not familiar with the 8/34. Thanks.

I'm not here to get into a pissing match with anyone, but visiting this site as well as other's concerning todays times and the car/motorcycle hobby. I read about guys/gals buying/ building cars/ bikes,parts and spending money doing their thing. Then I see how this economy has been in the...

I have a 727 and the deep Mopar Perf. pan installed. I had drained the fluid which wasn't in there long and it may have 100 miles on it. I had drained it because I had to replace the selector shaft seal. I put a gallon of new fluid in it and it is just on the dipstick, so I need more fluid I...

Picked up a VDO Tach from a friend, but not sure about the wiring. I have the red, black, which I know where they go. Also has a white, which I checked with the battery and the light came on so that was easy. I also have a blue and a green wire. Not sure which one goes to the neg. side of coil...

I have searched several Mopar venders for parking brake hardware. I have located the rear cables, intermediate cable, and the front cable localy, but no luck in the hardware. All of it is either missing, or severly rusted and no longer useable. Any idea's ? Thanks.

Looking for stock exhaust manifold casting numbers for a 1975 dart sport 360, what I have been able to find appears only to go up to 1974 models. Trying to find out if the manifolds that are currently on my 360 are original or have been replaced sometime in the past. Not sure the of the factory...

I'm sure this question has been asked before and I did some research but unless I overlooked it or didn't find it my apologys. Looking at swapping the 8/14 rear for an 8/34. The 8/34 is from an A body with the smallbolt axles. So my question is when I go to aftermarket axles with the 4.5 bolt...
