I am running an A&A reverse patter manual valve body that I bought about 5 years ago in my Duster. It works fine, but will not downshift to first gear unless the car is at a complete stop. Is this a normal characteristic and if so, can it be modified to allow the downshift? The car is use for...

Any advice?

I have a 72 904 on which I did the wide ratio gear swap about 10 years ago. I am now going through it as I am replacing the engine in my Duster and I would like to install the 5 clutch drum and wide band from a 999. I have the drum and band, but am running into a clearance problem with the pump...

Crank flange bolt patterns are the same. I don't know if the flywheel can be re-balanced for the 400 or not, but if you use a stroker kit in the 400, you'll need a neutral flywheel anyway. It's unlikely that the 413 crank is drilled for a pilot bushing, but there are conversion bushings available.

If the 413 came from a 62-65 passenger car, then it will work, if it's a pre-62 or from a truck or motor home, pass.

IMHOP, black would go very nicely with the black stripes on your car, but that's just my taste. This scoop was only offered in black from the factory, but you're not going for an OEM look for the car anyway, are you?

I love this.

Over 2 pages of this and no one has yet answered the OP's question regarding choke to air cleaner clearance. Unfortunately, I can't either; all I can say is that I've been running a Holley Street Demon on my V8 powered 47 Jeep for over 2 years now and it works great right from the box. It...

24 more days until retirement and once I sell the Riverside house, I'll be in Kingman full time. I definitely will not miss the People's Republic of Hellifornia.

You can say that again, I've been running back and forth between Kingman and Riverside 2 or 3 times a month for the past year and if your not prepared to run at 90, you'd better stay in the right lane.

It's been so long since I had this trans apart that I can't remember if that's has been done or not, I'll have to check it.

Thanks Leadfoot, I will look closely at the valve body when I remove it. I don't think the filter could be the problem because, even after 10+ years of use, there aren't a ton of miles on it and problem has been there from the beginning. I will do a full overhaul any way, because the old 318 is...

I think I might like your brother.

I believe that I have eliminated any possible external causes and the trans needs to be torn down regardless, I'm just wondering if anyone has any insight into specific areas that I should look for during the inspection.

I've got to say that I'm really enjoying this thread and as for those guys complaining about you switching back and forth between projects, pay them no mind. us old guys with ADD need to stick together.

No the KD isn't the issue, the adjustment has been verified several times and the kick-down functions normally. I've been driving this thing off and on for over 10 years. It was my daily driver until the mighty 318 finally wore out.

I'm about to start on the rehab of my Duster and 1 of the many things that I have to deal with is rebuilding the wide ratio 904. This trans was built about 12 years ago by a friend/tech at a local Dodge dealership. After installation it had several problems that I can't recall any more, that led...

I recently bought a house in Kingman and I love the weather there. I bought it last December to use as a weekend place until I retire, but my wife took 1 look and moved right in. I only get out there a couple of times a month, but I've moved up my retirement date.

If your gonna use E3 plugs, you should get a Fish carburetor too.

Thanks, I'm looking for some parts for my Duster and I've heard a lot of horror stories.

I just found your thread today and haven't yet had time to read all 144 pages, but what I have read is damn interesting. I have a question for you and if you've answered it before in the thread, I apologize in advance. Could you provide the name of the company that you got the fiberglass fenders...

Stupid people (kids or adults) are put on this earth for the entertainment of the rest of us. You should have said nothing to the kids, just had your cell phone ready to video the ensuing hilarity when Charles Darwin is proven right yet again.

He should have taken all the pictures with the cover on. BTW, describing that as just ugly does a disservice to the word.

Funny how much this looks like an AFB.

Great solution.

First, thank all of you for your comments. I used the tool per the directions and grooved the bores on Saturday morning. The result is a groove from the bottom of each bore that extends about 1/2 way up. This does leave a slight raised area at the top of each bore, something that was easily...

The groove is from the bottom and extends about 1/2 way up the bore. The idea is to increase oil to the lobe area and not the valley. The oil running off the lifter will contact the lobe before dropping to the crank area.

No trouble at all, the tool works quickly and efficiently and can be used on all Mopar engines. Using the Crower lifters would require purchasing them for every build, not to mention mixing lifters and cams from different manufacturers. The grooving tool is a 1 time purchase.

This question is for anyone familiar with the process of adding grooves to the lifter bores for the purpose of improving lubrication to the lobes on a flat tappet cam. I am using the Comp Cams lifter bore grooving tool and in their instructions they say that for best results, the groves should...
