    They're getting clever, it has awareness that it raised a thread from the dead. :rolleyes:

    [Found!] A833OD setup for Slant 6

    I'm looking for a Slant 6 A833OD swap out of an A/F body preferably in the Alabama/Tennesee/Georgia area. I'm hoping to find a completish swap, bellhousing, trans, rods, z bar/fork, etc if at all possible. Thanks!

    Maybe they had aspirations of drag racing, haha. The guy had a straight axle front end he was trying to get me to take home, too. I really need to adjust the torsion bars back down, I'm not ready to fight the rusty lower control arms yet though.

    I appreciate it! I'm tracking that, I just thought I might be missing something on the carburetor end. I'm good to go, over thinking it.

    While trying to find TDC on the engine I noticed the rotor wasn't spinning. Pulled the distributor and the drive gear is split in half.. could be why it was parked in 1989, but I had another distributor on hand and dropped it in. Installed a radiator from my 66, re-flared the crimped...

    Thanks, I realize the choke assembly is available online with the rod but I wasn't sure about the bracket on the choke shaft on my carburetor. I also didn't realize that the assembly is the same on both a BBS and a Holley 1920, and I have a few laying around from some Holley setups.

    The carburetor is rebuilt. What am I missing on this BBS from the choke assembly? I've seen some photos (as well as graphics in the rebuild kit) of a triangular bracket attached to the shaft with a spring, but that bracket is different than what's on this particular carburetor.

    As bad as it looks, the motor isn't stuck fortunately. The block casting # is 63-66, so that's likely original. The head has some remnants of blue paint, so likely replaced at some point. Someone put some work into this thing (brake and rear end upgrade) long ago before it was left to rot under...

    It's becoming a problem.

    Maintaining the theme of cheap junk, here's some crusty and hacked wiring to contend with. The cap was unclipped but sitting on top of the distributor, however the rotor has been sitting on the valve cover for many years. Living in a small rural town for the last 2 years has been great, but...

    Regarding the overtightened carb bolts?

    I also gave the car a wash (well, pressure wash). Brightened up the crappy paint job, didn't it! As Rusty previously pointed out it's got a 5x4.5 pattern rear axle, and I have an old set of rollers so I swapped them out. She's gotten a few twists on the torsion bars in the past, eh? Lol

    It's becoming a problem.

    In the 4 years since I've been tinkering with A Bodies, I've now had 3 Slant cars - the previous two both had Holley 1920s, this Signet has an abused BBS. Unfortunately mud daubers rebuilt the BBS before I got ahold of it (vent and fuel inlet packed full). I've rebuilt numerous carburetors over...

    That's absolutely awesome. I love Road Toads - Before I bought this 64, it was a toss up between it and a 60 with a 3 speed. I backed out of the 60 because of parts scarcity. I think the wagon is better looking than the coupe or sedan!

    It's becoming a problem.

    2nd digit of the Vin is 4 so ifs a genuine Signet (rather than just swapped emblems). The fender mounted turn signal indicators have to be added - I don't see any indication that they were an option for this year. It's got a split bench with center armrest in it as well which I believe must...

    Thanks! I have never really been into the restored patina look, but you're right, it could be interesting on this one.

    No project creep on this one, I'm sticking to my guns! The 225 and the rest of the drive train will remain as long as they're not shot.

    Good eye, it's a 7.25 but I think you're right on the big bolt pattern.

    Just noticed these when I stopped at the gas station... Do they look like later A Body or FMJ? Hopefully it's not some old aftermarket setup.

    I've been looking for another Slant car with intentions of just getting it back on the road. I like junk. I enjoy projects and I've also always been on a tight budget - a house full of kids are the priority, so someone else's completed project is out of the question. In that spirit I just...

    Reground Cam

    Looking forward to hearing how it runs! When do you expect to have it together? I ordered mine from Ken a few years ago and had to scrap the crank due to damage incurred during our move... About to begin assembly finally. I went with the 2058 grind.

    Need an A833 shifter measurement

    Your tunnel trimming was a lot neater than mine! I found those offsets on the White Lightening shifter from American Powertrain. They're pricey, but nothing about this swap has been budget friendly. White Lightning Shifter for Tremec TKX 5-Speed - American Powertrain

    Need an A833 shifter measurement

    I appreciate your feedback, I'd be interested in seeing your progress! This has been a long, slow project through the winter. I already had the torsion bar crossmember trimmed and the tunnel clearanced to fit the transmission - I'm currently working on finalizing my torsion bar xmember hoop...

    Need an A833 shifter measurement

    I appreciate it! I do not have a console in my 65 currently, and my intent is to fab up a hump and use a 4 speed bezel like the factory configuration would have been. I'd like to place my handle in close to the factory position which will require an offset shifter for my TKX - just curious...

    Need an A833 shifter measurement

    I'm working on a TKX install in my 65 Barracuda and I'm hoping someone can take a measurement for me. I would like to install an offset shifter on my 5 speed to place the handle in the same offset location as a 4 speed. Does anyone have, or could you take a measurement of the distance between...
