The only thing specific about the Dakota diff is the axle-shaft spline count as posted above. A Sure Grip from a '73 Duster or '81 Diplomat will work in an '87-'96 Dakota, but not newer. The only other difference to consider is that there are two different types of Sure-Grips: the Borg-Warner...

The numerically-low Sure Grip unit only fits 2.2x and 2.4x-series gears and is a bit of an oddball, being introduced with the A99x transmissions with the 2.74:1 first gear. Mega-steep axle ratios and a deep first gear were Chrysler's financially-strapped end-around to developing an overdrive...

Letterkenny, watched on PC. My television hasn't been connected to anything since 2014.

If you're going with the large (4½") bolt pattern, just get a complete drum setup off virtually any 5 x 4½" RWD/4WD up until at least the late 1990s. There are some minor internal differences, but they'll bolt on and work just fine. I've yet to see a later backing plate that didn't have the...

No, no... I absconded with their kickdown linkage. That way they could chase me for the 5 or so minutes that their transmission lasted afterward. :D It's important to give people hope, even if it's false. :p

The Six Pack throttle cable and kickdown linkage were specific to the engine, but... I ran a 440+6 '72 Charger around Atlanta for a couple of years. The car was my daily driver so I didn't have time to f__k around finding "correct" parts. I used the later 1-piece 440-4V kickdown I already...

I sprayed a fender on my Trans Am back in 1991 using one of these. The paint went on OK and I did it with a single aerosol unit, but don't expect spray-gun results. You'd need to color-sand it a little before buffing. It's not really orange peel, it's just not perfectly smooth. The guy to...

Believe me, I'm aware of what I'm facing. :BangHead: My wallet still hurts from the beating it took for a repaired grille for this car. E-bodies are a different world entirely, but those were my Mopar starting point. As much as I hate it, I'm kind of accustomed to it. I think this moulding is...

Yeah, I know... A-body board, but most of the E-body forums are pretty dead, so it's worth a shot. I need the wide hood moulding used on Challengers in 1971 only. It matches up to wide fender mouldings, which I've already got. I believe the part number is 3579556 and the option code was M28...

You can use your current shift forks by cutting the interlock pins off the ends. They're otherwise identical.

OK, so the mirror is '71-'72 Mopar B-body and '71-'74 Mopar E-body. The B-body mirror changed in '73 (taller base with wider-set mounting screws). The remote bezel is for '71-'76 General Motors B-, C-, and E-body. It's the hot setup for folks that just gotta have 'Cuda mirrors on their...

The adjuster bezel is definitely not E-body, nor is it '71-'74 B. Is it removable?

Is it as solid as it looks? What's required to get it running?

I feel like I do, since I was there back when the phone-sales room held 50+ people for two shifts and a couple of guys doing weekday overnights. The phone system would go into overload from 7:30AM until about 2PM on Mondays; customers might be in the queue for 20 minutes or more. I'd walk past...

Oh, there's no pressure from M&H whatsoever. Make no mistake; YearOne holds the reins in that relationship. However, M&H is ridiculously busy with their similarly-excellent GM harnesses, on which they make all the money. The Mopar harnesses are icing on the cake, and they're always behind on...

That's a bit of a mis-statement. YearOne owns the rights. While Kevin King is the majority shareholder, he does not single-handedly own YearOne despite his desire for people to think so. There are a couple of entities who hold large pieces of it, one of whom alone has a 20% stake. Those...

I use Van's quite a bit. They're geographically close to me and have good customer service. After buying from them a few times, I found out their internet-sales guy and I used to hang out a bit in the late '80s. Great guy and a serious Mopar dude.

YearOne's been reselling to (and buying from) other vendors for decades, especially the M&H harnesses. Remember the Paddock? A restoration-parts place that went by-the-bye in the early 2000s? They were YearOne's biggest customer, to the tune of seven digits annually. Virtually their entire...

If you want to keep costs down, stop building project cars for SEMA and other events, avoid idiotic projects like the "revival" so-called Bandit Trans Ams (they gifted the first to Burt Reynolds, who sold it almost immediately), and maybe move out of the mostly-empty 500,000-square-foot facility...

The denial amongst their management is beyond belief. Check out their prices on peformance parts, say AutoMeter gauges. They're stratospheric compared to Jeg's or Summit. Why? "Summit isn't our competitor." I've literally heard that come from the CEO's mouth. Meanwhile, RockAuto is eating...

There's definitely some tomfoolery happening. As seen on another site this morning: Watch the numbers closely, folks. I just tried it and had similar results. Were this a YearOne exclusive part like a wiring harness, that'd generate a phone call on my part. Otherwise, I'd do what he did and...

On the odd occasion that I leave town, my boss cares for my dog at his house, which is out in the country. A few weeks ago when I was in the hospital, my close friend (who also lives way out) took her. Both reported the same thing: She's deaf as a post. Both said when she's asleep, they can...

It's just a typical "noisy" gear drive, which serious gear drives always are (straight-cut gears). It's no worse than any others I've heard. I'm just not a fan of the sound. Another issue was its detriment to the sleeper nature of the car itself, a ratty '69 Signet 2-door with quiet dual...

@Steve Watchorn as promised... The marks on the mounting plate were there when I got it. One of the thrust washers for the Torrington bearing was broken, which caused it. I replaced the washers and the bearing with new Milodon replacements, as well as the seven button-head cam bolts. I have...

When resting on a table, if the base sits on the carb flange it's for a 383. If it sits on the outer edges and the carb flange is not touching the table it's for a 440. 340 and 440 applications used the same base, though no 340s were built with this style assembly.

Fair enough... it's far from perfect. I just figured I'd offer. I've got three sets of those covers already, but still have more use for those than the steering wheel.

I have one I pulled from a '66 Dart GT, but it needs restoration. The chrome isn't horrible but the rim needs love... typical fading/cracking. I don't have the horny bits, though. If it's worth a partial trade I can take it down, clean it up a bit and get better pictures for you.

I still have it. I won't be able to manage tonight, but I'll get it out and get pictures of it tomorrow or Friday. It's boxed up in the trunk of a car in storage.

I just mentioned how a close-ratio trans can be used with an overdrive bellhousing. @halfafish is the seller. He'll get a notification on this and I'm sure get your pictures.

"Big block" A833 close-ratio main cases with the 308 front bearing have the same bearing-retainer bolt pattern as the A833OD (which also uses a 308 bearing). That means you can swap the large (~5.1") OD retainer onto any 308 case. I have a friend who did exactly that. He's using an A/F-body...
