    My 273 turned out to be a 318...what did I buy?

    Curious if you have any pictures from below. My stock 273 manifolds are RIGHT on the proportioning valve. Haven’t had any issues in the short time I’ve had it on the road, but I do know I need to address it.

    4 Speed Reinstall From Underneath

    I have no clue how you did that. I don’t think I’d attempt that. I built a little transmission adapter for my jack. Worked pretty well, actually.

    4 Speed Reinstall From Underneath

    That couldn’t have been easier! …well maybe… thank you all for the advice!

    4 Speed Reinstall From Underneath

    Thanks. I did do that—I just checked to see how much lean I could get, distributor isn’t that close to hitting the firewall. Probably need to loosen more.

    4 Speed Reinstall From Underneath

    Thank you. I did let things drop, but probably not enough. Extremely helpful.

    4 Speed Reinstall From Underneath

    Hello all, Swapping a833s in a 1965 dart. I removed the transmission yesterday, and had some struggles getting the upper left (drivers side) transmission to bellhousing bolt out. There is some floorpan sticking out into the 4 speed hump that I’ll either move or cut. Just curious if any of...

    Gas pedal and floor bracket info

    Haven’t we all? I have new floorpans waiting to go in. I’ll probably make the new bracket when I install those pans in the next 1-5 years.

    Gas pedal and floor bracket info

    Just want to sort of close this loop—1/4” clevis pin fits great. I may fabricate a new floor mount, but that’s for another day.

    15 inch wheels on early A body pictures

    215 60 15 all around… I have the 73+ disc brake swap in the front and 8 1/4 in the back. I don’t love where the front wheels sit in the wheel well, but they were free. No complaints from me.

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)

    Transmission has been rebuilt for a while now. Just psyching myself up to do the swap. Decided to build a little transmission jack adapter thing for my jack. Maybe a distraction? Either way. Should help the process.

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)

    Mine has never functioned. It’s chewed through at least two speedometer cables. I just use a GPS speedometer. I’ll fix it some day. With the later a833 I used to have in there, the cables were cheaper. I don’t want to risk chewing up a $150 speedometer cable until I actually figure out what’s...

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)

    On a positive/fun note, I had a friend fabricate a speedometer plug for the 65 transmission. I couldn’t find a plug anywhere on the interweb. Came out pretty clean.

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)

    Quick update. Working on rebuilding a spare transmission to replace the one currently in the car. Having fun. Taking it slow. Will probably have the spare transmission back together this week. I’m thinking I’ll wait to put the new one in for when I do some front end work. May be a while, but...

    Floor Pan Replacement Planning (67 up pans in 65 Dart)

    Thanks, Rick. I’m sure I’ll shed some tears at some point.

    Floor Pan Replacement Planning (67 up pans in 65 Dart)

    Thanks @65 Dartman I agree that would be the route that makes the most sense. I’m not replacing today or tomorrow, so have time before I commit. Exact fit plans would be cleaner, quicker, and easier. I’m really trying to plan for time. I’m assuming I’ll probably take a couple hours in...

    Floor Pan Replacement Planning (67 up pans in 65 Dart)

    I badly need to patch floors in my 1965 dart. Came across a full set of 67+ Laysons a body floor pans for a good price. I know they aren’t an exact fit, and especially because I have the 4 speed hump, will likely need extra massaging. However, it should be a decent start—I’ll take it one step at...

    [SOLD] A833 Overdrive, Bellhousing, Driveshaft, and more

    Yeah, apologies if that was confusing. Transmission is great for the car. However, the stock small block bellhousing that I installed uses the 4.354” input bearing retainer. There are ways to make it work (like buying different input bearing retainer + machining bellhousing, or using a...
