    Torque Strap?

    Thanks, problem solved. The motor mount plates were bent...wow! 1/4 inch steel. But I think the source of the evil was a broken trans crossmember. It allowed everything to torque to the point of bending the mount plates and shifting the motor back 1/2 inch. New plates, new mounts, new...

    Torque Strap?

    I understand the purpose being to stop rotation. My think is that it may have rotated then when it was off the rubber was pulled back. I want to keep it down where the weight is on the mount. Thanks good ideas.

    Torque Strap?

    I do have torque boxes and frame connectors with just a 6 point roll bar. I wanted to keep is 68SS authentic so no motor plate. Yep it was pretty obvious something was wrong when it happened. I would like to get a torque strap on the thing before I have another issue. However, I think the...

    Torque Strap?

    I have a L023 clone with an Indy Aluminum 426 and an A-833 4 spd. Somewhere along the line, I had a violent launch that shoved the engine back 1/2 - 3/4 inch. Bent the exhaust hangers, broke the trans cross member and slightly buckled the quarter panels on both sides. Ouch! I'm adding...

    68 Race Hemi Cross Ram Color

    Lot's of confusion on the engine paint. I agree with those saying Race Hemi Orange. My paint store went through archives for me and found documentation that Race Hemi and Omaha Orange were identical. They mixed my Omaha Orange. Right or not...it is orange and no one has questioned it.

    Hemi Dart Clutch Issues

    Thanks, I actually did the pedal mod when I originally installed the Hemi and 4 speed. It was indeed 5 1/4 but is a full 6 inches now, as per Post #7. In my case the pushrod being lengthened does give me a bit more travel. It takes the slop out at the top of the rod and does not change the...

    Hemi Dart Clutch Issues

    Okay, the pedal the rod from the clutch pedal mount down to the z bar was made longer. I realize everything being equal this would only serve to change the bottom end pivot point but it also took some of the lost motion out. The pedal now sits higher by a 1/2 inch. Which gives me more throw...

    Hemi Dart Clutch Issues

    Hi guys, I lengthened the clutch push rod so that it now gives me another 1/2 inch of pedal. I found the Z-bar was contacting the headers when I tried to get travel down below. I buttoned it up and it does feel better and let’s me get full disengagement. Have not driven yet. Missing driver...

    Hemi Dart Clutch Issues

    Thanks for your reply HemiDenny. I did not think there would be any way to get the Hydro clutch to work on a stock firewall car. Thanks for your input. Is there any way you could get a photo of the Butch Leal Duster setup? I have a Quick Time bellhousing and the TTI Zbar...just not much throw...

    Hemi Dart Clutch Issues

    It is a McLeod Twin Disc, Diaphragm style. The parts are all correct. TTI headers, therefore modified Z Bar from TTI. The engine actually torques when the pedal is depressed. But the issue is that I can't get enough throw to release the clutch with any free play on the pedal, the TO bearing...

    Hemi Dart Clutch Issues

    Hi, anybody tried to put a hydraulic T.O. bearing on a Hemi Dart? I am stumped as to where to put the Master. I have a completely stock clone and hate to mess things up too badly. The stock clutch linkage with a std T.O. has very little adjustment available and as it sits, flexes when the...

    clutch linkage ? - Hemi/BB - A-body

    Dave, it is a Quick Time BH, a McLeod 10.5 inch Diaphragm clutch, Aluminum Flywheel, Passon built A-833. The Z bar, torque shaft is from TTI, and the Ball stud was modified as per TTI instructions. I have modified the pedal by lengthening the pin distance from 5 1/4 to 6 inch( As per article...

    clutch linkage ? - Hemi/BB - A-body

    Dave, I'm having trouble getting my clutch to fully disengage. If I watch the linkage as the pedal is depressed, the QT bell housing and even the motor torques. Brewer is sending a new fork but I really hate to pull everything...thinking about drilling a hole in the QT bell housing so that I can...

    68 Dart Belt Molding Clips

    I've got them on now so no extras to take a photo of...but here is what I bought. Had to take just a touch off the clip body (sanding disk) so as to fit into the molding nicely. That also tended to square them a bit allowing them to holding the molding straight on the body. J01995 - 15Pcs. /...
