Well thanks a bunch . . . . I'll let the weather stabilize a few more weeks and tackle it, hope to make some progress. I appreciate the offer on the spring, I may be taking you up on that. I'll keep this thread updated so you guys can keep me from destroying anything. Thanks my friend :)

I pretty much understood what you said, I was just clarifying that it wasn't a monstrous metallic "clunk" but an aggressive transition. I most definitely would like to "de"-shift kit the valve body/trans and return to stock. Next will be the damn shifter. lol. Thanks for your help. :)

Ok, I will. Thanks

LOL . . I just love the part where you said "simple" possibilities . . . . :)

I understand your point . . . but this is not so much about a "clunk" as it is about a "harsh engagement". There is no smooth transition. There is no transition. I'm 66 and have driven a few older cars when they weren't old yet. But this is way more aggressive than normal for a drive train of...

Just so I am reading this right, you are saying that the someone who installed a "shift kit" in my trans may have removed the accumulator spring and installed a blocker rod, correct? Just checking, in case I get in that far.

I guess I'll start with the easy stuff as Bad Sport mentioned. I'll check the universals again. The car doesn't want to idle below 750-800, likes to stall. I would like to get it down to 600-650 if possible. But I believe that if I get the idle down, it will still have a pretty harsh...

Hi guys . . . . I'm the guy who needs direction. My 73 Dart Swinger has been a "work in progress". It's a 383, 727, 8 3/4 rear 3.91. I'm an ole guy, 66, just tryin' to get the Dart to be a reliable cruiser. She has a HURST VMatic shifter (which I hate, and it may be going this summer)...

Thank you Sir . . . . . Rog

I have a cracked trans pan on my truck, 2001 RAM 1500. Is there an easy way to ID the trans number so I can order one? Thanks, Rog

I did it Geoff on my front shackles . . . dropped the rear over an inch . . . I have SS sorings also :) the pic on my avatar is before I flipped the fronts

Hey Geoff . . . . Where can I get some specifics on the Helluva Cruise for this year? Like date, hours, specifics. I think my Dart may be up to it as a shakedown cruise. haha Rog

lmao . . . . we're finally beyond that here in Michigan. :)

Thanks guys . . I need a water blade, I have a shammy, and I'm good to go in the shade. Water spots were my concern, they don't come off very easy. I've use a leaf blower on a motorcycle, works well. Snake has the best idea by far . . . . lol. Rog

Hatrick lol . . . . Rocky . . . sounds like me . . . dirt road, well water. Yer talking a water blade being a squeegee? Thanks . . . Rog

Ok . . . . my car needs to be washed. Last year it was waxed / polished, maintained. But I've run out of time. I need to wash her. My issue is that I have hard well water. Yes, it is on a water softener, and I have a Whirlpool whole house filter in the system. I am capable of using this...

:coffee2: Ahh . . . Fogerty and CCR never seen that video. Hmmm . . . not BOF . . . not Daisy . . . . probably not Clara . . . gots to be Fern or Lump . . . guessing LUMP!! :cheers: lol Let's go!! Rog

That's the good way to remember him . . the good times and the silly things that he may have done. Sure he will be missed, I looked forward every morning to Vinnie and Lex and that crazy guy and cute gal to entertain me with my morning coffee. Lex was a star. . . . Rog

Or maybe Lex went to join her to take care of her. My prayers and thoughts are with you ABB. Rog

So sorry to say goodbye to Dad & Mom's little buddy and our friend too. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rog

I'm late to the party again . . . . prayers sent, thrilled you are recovering. Get well real soon! Rog

Hey guys and gals . . . . I have a NASCAR tire that I'm thinking of making a table out of. I need a wheel I can put it on that I can mount and inflate. Doesn't have to be in perfect condition, any style, looking for NASCAR feel though. I'm in Ann Arbor Michigan area, so if you are close...

If I can get my Dart roadworthy for a trip from Howell, I'd like to be there.

Oh boy . . . . reality check . . . . :wack:

:coffee2: Congrats on phase one. It's great to see the progress after all the butt kicking work. What has your Son accomplished on his so far?? :D Rog

:coffee2: Breaks are allowed . . . . but you are right. Sometimes we get away from it and it's hard to get back. :banghead: But you can't approach it as it's work . . . enjoy! Rog

Consider one sale right here!!:cheers:

:coffee2: I hear ya about the lost time . . . but the one thing you did right was hold on to the car :thumbrig: . . . . Rog

Good one Cap'n . . ."watching the caulk dry . . . " lol, You are coming long fine.
