    Has anyone else done the rms front suspension on a 63 valiant. I did mine about 10 yrs ago. I have a 400 bb and inorder to keep oil pan 4 inch off ground i have to keep the adjustable shocks adjusted most of the way up making the front soooo hard. Can't get the oil pan i really need anymore. I...

    a833 OD vibration in 4th gear at 3000 rpm

    This problem was solved. I took drive shaft back to the original builder and they checked and rebalanced it, it was off. A few weeks later i sold the car. God is so GOOD.

    a833 OD vibration in 4th gear at 3000 rpm

    Well problem solved, it turned out to be the drive shaft balance . The answer to drcharles question is i don't know how it was balanced but it looked like a long tire balancer. He did check it at 3000 rpm and said he moved one weight at the rear end of shaft but ithink he also added one. Either...

    a833 OD vibration in 4th gear at 3000 rpm

    Ok subject is 65 barracuda with 360 4spd w/od . I have a vibration in 4th gear at about 3000 rpm and up. In neutral all is good. I thought it might be drive shaft related, had that checked, all good. I just recently noticed 1 2 and 3rd gears good until going into 4th. I'm guessing since 4th...

    Rear axle adjuster on left side??

    I thought my thoughts were correct. Who knows how long it has been that way. I have had the car 14 yrs and never had a reason to look until now. Thanks for the conformation and reasons.

    Rear axle adjuster on left side??

    My axel adjuster is on the left side. To my understanding this is wrong. The rear is a 71 duster 8 3/4 in my 65 barracuda. After fixing the reverse wheel hop issue i noticed a slight vibration at about 3000 rpm and up. The axels do have more end play than they should have almost .020. I know it...

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    Well AJFORMS you are the winner to the sollution of my problem. I added a .040 washer between the pressure plate and flywheel and it backs up perfectly. It also takes off forwards better because it is not grabbing right off the floor. I even remove the 3.5 degree shim leaving me with still 2...

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    Here is something i have been thinking about. When i originally put the conversion in i used a ram clutch with the 3 fingers and trying to use a hydraulic setup. I found out you can't use hydraulic throw out and 3 finger clutch. So i kept the disc and bought the centerforce diafram...

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    Well i added the 2 degrees more this morning so now i have a down rear of 5.1. . I don't see much if any diff from last time. If i slip clutch i can make it work. Don't know what else to do. All bushings seem good, motor mounts seem good. If any of yall live in york pa and want to take a...

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    Ok so here is my latest and greatest. I reversed the shims and no have a 2.7 degree down. Test drove and 100% better but still backing up a slight up grade i get some shudder not quite the thud i had before. So now i have a total of 5.1 between tranny down and rear down. I have a set of 2...

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    I understand what people have been saying, it's just that i have read so many articles on this and got mixed opinions. Now that i understand mopar is a different animal i can try what others have been saying, down with the rear angle.

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    Honestly i don't know, it drops down about 4.5 inch. I would think it does since it came with a v8.

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    Motor mounts are correct, i actually had to use 2 1/8 inch shims under the k frame to get the oil pan away from the steering cross link so it would not rub the ooil pan when turning. I tried removing the to see what i might gain, only 1 half a degree. Car came with 273----a terd so i put...

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    Here is a question and food for thought. I read an artical strictly for mopar pinion angle and it states mopar factory at the tranny is set at 0 degree and rear should be 3 to 4 degree down. I get that and understand. I have tranny down at 2.4 degrees and no way can i tilt the tranny up any...

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    I have read in different articles that the angles should be parallel for street and equally down for race. This is a street car. My 79 dodge warlock truck is 5 degree down at tranny and 5 degree up at rear which matches what i have read. So the mixed opinions is confusing.

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    It is a hydraulic clutch using a draw cyl. As for the motor mounts I'll have to pull them off and inspect. The cross member is the same for both auto and manual, rubber mount is good.

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    So much for serious answers to a serious problem. There are no burn outs. After putting it in reverse the problem occurs when trying to let clutch out. . I actually saw the wheels hop of the ground when someone else tried it. The articles i have used for every degree down the tranny is...

    Wheel hop in REVERSE?

    Ok years ago i did a auto to manual shift in my 65 barracuda. Ever since i have been fighting a severe thud and wheel hop in reverse. Under suggestion i changed leaf springs, no help. I have played with pinion angle. Best i have had tranny down 2.7 degrees down and rear 1 degree down and...

    1965 904 Transmission Normal Operation?

    I had a cable shift in my 65 also before changing to a 4sd manual. If left in drive it shifted normal, i don't ever remember it down shifting to a lower gear while other than the gear i had it in. I still have it if any interest.
