Another wheel tire combo I tried on my Dart were the rear wheels and tires off my 2012 Challenger R/T Classic with the 20x8 inch wide Cragar SS looking wheels with 275/40/20 tires. Those wheels have 5.5 inches of backspacing and the tire are 10.5 inches of section width. Other than I thought the...

Like I said in my other post, a 7 inch wheel with 4.5 inch backspacing(mine were Weld wheels) with a stock A body axle with stock drum brakes. Makes all the difference between a 255/60/15 tire fitting, without rubbing and rubbing on the outside wheel well and lip. I ran those same 255 tires...

My honest opinion is no, I think they will rub on bumps, dips and turns on the outside edge of the wheel opening. I installed the Dr. Diff leaf spring inboard kit (which move the springs in a 1/2 inch and i have Caltrac one inch lowering springs) a few years back and mounted my 9/28/15 M/T...

You need a 7 inch rim with a 4 1/4" (factory bs. on rally and police wheels) or a 4 1/2" backspacing wheel to fit a 255/60/15 tire. The 4 1/2" bs. wheel will give maximum clearance against rubbing with stock to lowered suspension early A bodies with weight in the trunk or 3 to 4 people. I have...

A buddy of mine went through a similar problem with the 11 inch drum brakes on his GTX. What he found was the same as some others have said, new drums out of round but with a twist. He also found that the new shoes were only touching at the very top of the front shoe and very bottom of the back...

Please show us a picture of the wheels you took off the car, they may not be Chrysler wheels. Some of the wheels from the japanese and european market have metric wheels that are close enough to the 4" pattern that they will fit over the studs but not the hub.

I had the same problem with my 66 Dart, only 6 foot but long legs. Had to drill new holes and move the seat back more than 2 inches. I then use 8-2 1/2" washers I found with 3/8" holes in them, one on top one on the bottom for each of the 4 studs to spread the load so the floor did not crack...

As toolmamike said, the rear will probably fit changing what he said. But the front I am not sure of, you would have to lose the front valance and get the bumper, brackets, and turn signals from a 66. The big problem with the front is the 66 front fenders are scalloped for bumper clearance and...

Are you sure he is not talking about the suregrip being tight, in other words when you turn one wheel one way and try an wholed the other from turning it takes a lot of effort to break the suregrip loose. Could be wrong, but when someone says the suregrip is tight that's what I think.

When I bought my 1 7/8" Hedman's fender wells for my 66 Dart back in 1999 they only had 2 sizes 1 7/8" and 1 5/8", I never knew they made 1 3/4" tube fender wells.

I new a guy, John B. back in the early 70's that had a 67 Dart GT 273 4 barrel, auto trans. Him and a real good buddy of mine Bob V. built that car into a low 13 screamer, the engine had home ported heads by John, and if I remember right it had around 12 to 12.5 to 1 compression, .500+ lift...

These are pic's of the Dart with 255 60 15 M/T drag radials on Weld 15x7 wheels with 4.5 inch backspacing, rear leaf springs in stock location. The pic in the driveway is with a stock a body 8 3/4 rear axle, and the other 2 it has a Dana 60 narrowed to the width of the 8 3/4. With the 4.5 inch...

I would like to know where to buy these headers too, as far as I knew Hedman stopped making these headers a few years ago( I think maybe 10 years or longer) could be wrong on the years but it's been a while.

stroker402 I would have to believe that the 1 7/8" tudes would be to large for the 273 engine, 1 5/8" should be the correct size.

Okay I'm confused, I thought we were talking about templates for 1Badcolt's Hedman Husler headers. The one from he's pictures that I have on my Dart which need a different cut out than the ones from Hooker.

That template is not for the Hedman Husler Headers were all 4 tubes exit through the fender well, the Hookers for early A's I think only have 2 tubes perside that are 1 5/8 tudes through the fender well. It would probably be a starting place though, but the holes are going to be opened up more...

I ended up making the extra clearance so I could drop the headers in without scraping the paint off. Even at that size hole there was just enough clearance with the way they had to be turned and twisted to drop in. Are yours the 1 7/8 tubes with the 3 1/2 collectors? Oh and I forgot I had to...

When I bought my 1 7/8 Headmans, they told me to start at the firewall and cut everything out to the shock tower. I started out small and kept getting bigger till they dropped in.

Did the same as Bogie in my 66 Dart, plus a little more massaging in tunnel to fit the square body of the Jerico 4 spd.

This is the style scope your looking for on my 66, This one was from AAR fiberglass a lot better quality than VFN at the time I bought it 18 years ago. But AAR sold out to another company and I can't remember the name off hand. They do show up at Chrysler's at Carlisle every year, maybe one of...

https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/how-to-identify-a-non-lockup- a999-transmission-with-pics.307306/ This was a post written by rmchrgr back on March 1 2015 on A999 transmissions

These are the part numbers from the Mopar Chassis book for A999 H.D. trans for 360( they first appeared in the 1974 360 4brl cars) All of the part# below had 2.45 first gear sets as far as I know, except the P parts trans that could have had the 2.74 gear set( I do not know for sure) 74-75...

When I was messing with automatics for drag racing back in the 80's and 90's this is how it was explained to me by the guy who was building the transmissions. The 904 were original build for the slant 6, when the 273 V8 came out in 64 they made a new case for the 904 to fit the V8. Then in 67 or...

Eric there are a lot of variables in tire and wheel fitment. On my Dart all of my measurements were taken after I made sure the stock A body 8 3/4 with stock 10" drum brakes was centered side to side then I took all my measurements to center the wheel and tire combo between the leaf spring and...

I have been running M/T 255x60x15 on Weld Wheel 15x7/4.5 inch backspacing for 12 years or more with stock spring location and 1 inch lower caltrac mono leafs, with no tire rub at all even with 4 people in my 66 Dart

If they are the stock 273 manifolds for the early As, not much you can do with them. Even the 273 hp engines got a big boost in the seat of the pants dyno by putting on headers. Best thing to do is to get over your phobia of headers and the sticker shock of the ones for the early As and put them...

dart19666 Love your Dart and like your engine even more. My 66 Dart runs 416 ci with a Jerico 4spd and 4.10 dana 60, best time so far 10.82 @ 125 with 1.51 60foot on 9x26 slicks, let the clutch fly at 5000 and shift at 6400 go through traps at 6500. Motor has 10to1 comp with Indybrock T/A heads...

I run 15x7 weld wheels with 4.5 inches back spacing and 255/60/15 m/t drag radials on my 66 Dart. The springs and wheel tubs are in the stock location and I have a dana 60 narrowed to the stock A body 8 3/4 width and cal-trac mono leafs springs set up 1 inch lower than stock. Tires fit perfect...
