Some of you know that a couple of months ago one of our wonderful members "argometer" drove all the way down to my house to bring me an 8 3/4 sure grip rear end for $75.00. Also brought me a drive shaft. That was really cool. I mean, he lives up towards Canada. About a 3-4 hour drive from me. I...

I got a call last night about a couple of cars I inquired about six months ago. One of them is a '67 Chrysler New Yorker that I posted about earlier today. The other is a '69 Dodge Monaco. The car is totaled. HUGE DENTS in every single panel. And a TON of rust as well. But the drive train is all...

I got a call last night about a car that I had found and asked about last year. It is a '67 Chrysler New Yorker. It is all original except the air cleaner is off of a Super commando 440. It is from the original owner. It has like 113,000. original miles. The reverse band in the 727 broke. It has...

So, I have a 741 sure grip 8 3/4. I want to put new oil and such in it. Would I just use good 'ol 70-90 weight with sure grip additive for this?? Thanks in advance.

I have an old style 8 3/4 rear. It has the 741 3rd member already, not the really old one. But it does have the bolt on drums. Can I switch this over to the newer axles and drum set up??? I cant see any reason why I would not be able to do it. The housing looks the same. I'm just wondering. I...

Some of you know that I scored an 8 3/4 this weekend from our wonderful member "Argometer". It turned out to be a sure grip. Which I still just cannot believe. Also here are the measurements. Drum to drum[51.2"], perch to perch[44"], center housing to end of yoke[12.35"]. Now, a original A-body...

A-body 8 3/4 measurements. I know it is 43" spring perch to spring perch. And I was told 52.4" drum to drum??? I just need to know if you measure spring perch to perch from the mounting stud holes??? And if you measure drum to drum from the outer edge of the drums???? Thanks to all who help out.

I've never heard of this ratio. Have you??? It is in a 741 3rd member. It is clearly stamped in the ring gear. Thanks.

One of our members "Argometer" was reading on one of these posts somewhere, and noticed that I had mentioned that I could not afford a 8 3/4 rear end for my car so I'd have to use the 7 1/4. He also knew that I'd got laid off from work a couple of months ago and I am broke just scraping by. So...

I'm able to get a Dodge Aspen for really cheap. It has front disk brakes and I believe an 8 1/4 rear. I know that I can interchange the front disk brakes as long as I get the upper A arms from '73-'76 A-body??? If I'm right on this please let me know. I thought I read something to this effect...

O.K. I read a lot of these threads. But they are always about someone wanting opinions about building a 318 on a budget. Well, I'm the kind of person that is going to get the most bang for my buck. Mind you, this combo will be going into a '65 barracuda. I already have all of the parts I'll need...

So,this dude returned my call about some cars he's selling. 3 cars. '64 Valiant 2 door post, original 273/auto. Has 318 in it. Needs a lot of work. '65 plymouth barracuda,original 273/auto. Has NO motor/trans. Complete car though. '65 plymouth barracuda Formula S, original 273/4speed. Has no...

Well, I sanded them down to bare metal where they needed it. There was a lot of factory paint still there. And they only had some pitting in the usual spots. I think they will be fine. I dumped rustolium paint all over them. So tomorrow I'll be putting in my wiper pivot seals, padding, carpet...

I need a V8 throttle cable for my '65 barracuda. Preferably one that is in decent condition. This is the last part I'm in need of for my V8 swap. Thanks.

O.K. I'm going to be doing a /6 to V8 swap in my '65 barracuda. I have these parts so far. '65 V8 exhaust manifolds, '65 V8 motor mounts, '65 V8 center link, '65 V8 gas pedal, '65 V8 gas pedal bracket/mechanism, '65 V8 bracket for gas pedal linkage that bolts to back of head. My question is...

I really need some honest opinions on weather or not this will work out for me. I have a 360 with the stock heads. I want to run a single plane street master intake and a 600 cfm Edelbrock. I figured for a stock motor this would be sufficient. I'm not going to have anything fancy done to the...

I need to know the hose placement on a V8 radiator for a '65 barracuda. I'm going to the wrecking yard this next weekend and will be looking for a good beefy radiator for my car. My /6 one I know is different. So I need to know what side the top and bottom outlets are on???????? Thanks.

I just cant afford to purchase an A-body 8 3/4 rear for my car right now. And may not be able to for a long time. It just is not in the cards. I'm going to be trading off all of my AMC goodies just to get a motor and trans. My question is: Is there any other rear out there that will work in my...

O.K. I know that some of you were unhappy when I posted that I finished my interior panels last week. Well they are really done now. I even have a couple of pictures. My kick panels were the first ones I did about a month ago. But they will not be installed until I do the carpet. So here ya go.

I just got my kit from schumacher today and I'm ready to install them. But I've never done anything even close to this before. I ordered a lisle tool from a source online and It has not come yet. But it should be here any day. If someone could give me some good instruction on how to remove these...

I made them but ran out of my interior coating. So I'll have to go and get some tomorrow. I'm waiting on my wiper pivot seal kit from schumacker so I can seal all that up and get rid of my leaks. Then I'll be installing my new padding and carpet. I got my new headliner but I'm waiting for my new...

I have quite a bit of Brand new AMC stuff. Almost everything for an engine re-build. Cam and lifters, full gasket set, high volume oil pump, double roller timing chain set, cam barrings, rod barrings, ect. All brand new in the box. I also have a radiator for 401 V8 and misc. stuff. So if your...

This is the kind of padding I decided to use on my interior panels. This is the old door panel padding that I replaced to make my door panels. I decided it was a little to dirty. Some of you have seen the door panels I finished a couple of days ago. It is just some material I picked up at the...

I need to see the exact placement of the interior door handles on a '65 barracuda. I just cant remember. Thanks to all.

Well, I think I'm finally happy with the look of the inside of my doors now. It took me a little while to get exactly what I was looking for. But I did it. Except I would really like someone to show me exactly how the interior handles are supposed to be with the windows rolled up. I know it is...

I have some ' 65 273 V8 exhaust manifolds I got from one of our wonderful members here on FABO. They look like typical exhaust manifolds that are 44 years old. I know a way of getting most of all the rust off of them from a thread someone did on here with electrolysis. But after that is where...

Hello all, I just got my new headliner shipped to me today. I got a bunch of universal insulation shipped the other day. I got enough to do my whole car. It is some good stuff. A lot better than what was used from the factory. I'm going to use it on the floor under the carpet as well as the roof...

But in the long run I'll be saving about $400.00. And I'll get interior that I want. I never really have liked the interior of the early barracuda/valiant/dart. So I'll have my own. Although I love the colors of all of the early cars. So I'm making my own with the original gold. It is costing me...

The guy doesn't know anything about it. I asked for numbers off of the trans. But I haven't heard back from him. I just didn't want to pass something up thats so cheap if it something that is useful. Like an 833. But as of right now I have no idea what it is.

I have a chance of buying a really cheap motor/trans. combo. He say's it's a 318 4 speed out of a Dodge D-100 truck. I looked up some info. According to what I could find they didn't put 318's in that year. They put 360's. And I couldn't find any info on the 4 speed. They all were automatics. I...
