So today I was able to get out to the garage for a few minutes (getting old and feeble sucks). As a summary, the rear of the car is up on jack stands under the rear axle. I put the transmission in Neutral and rotated the passenger side wheel in the forward direction. The driver side wheel...

OK, I'll try turning the passenger wheel, with the transmission in Park, tomorrow. Thanks!!

Trying to verify whether or not the 8 3/4" rear end in my Dart GT is a sure-grip. With the rear axle up on jack stands and the transmission is in neutral. When I rotate the passenger side wheel, in the forward direction, the driver side wheel also rotates in the same forward direction. If my...

My car just got this done to it yesterday. My engine builder/mechanic picked up my Dart GT's body and while it was on the trailer, he went to the quarter car wash to clean the engine bay prior to painting it. He found the shift shaft seal was leaking and replaced it for me.

My mechanic/buddy installed the Lokar setup (throttle & "kickdown" cables) on my 318, LD4B intake with 1406 carb. Works great.

Thanks for the replies. I was expecting a lot worse. I just didn't want to pass out when I get the quote.

Looks like I may need to have my 3.23:1 sure-grip 8 3/4" rear-end rebuilt. I have an appointment to take it to a very reputable Mopar man in late August (after the Woodward Dream Cruise). I have no idea what a rebuild will cost. Anyone have a "ball park" figure?

Do you round up or round down on the tire size? I found an online tire size calculator which tells me my tire is 26.7" tall. Wouldn't that be a consideration as well? Enough to worry about?

As stated above, I made tiny adjustments until I got to my happy point. 1st to 2nd @ ~16-17mph, and 2nd to 3rd @ ~33-34 mph. 2- days of "tinkering" but I think it's good now. The "seat of the pants" dyno tells me with the upgrades (LD4B, 1406, timing chain/gears, water pump, fuel filter...

Thanks guys. I'll play after work tomorrow. Got to get it dialed in for the Woodward Dream Cruise on the 20th.

My mechanic/buddy swapped the LD4B intake, 1406 carburetor, and Lokar throttle and "kickdown" cables onto the 318 in my Dart GT. On the ride home I noticed it shifts rather late (at the speeds stated above). I think I need to get the shift points down to ~15mph and ~30mph. Most of the roads I...

Hey all, After checking the level I'd like to add some gear oil to my 8 3/4" 3.23:1 Sure-Grip rear end. I purchased a quart of Valvoline 75W-90 Gear Oil. On the label it says "Limited Slip". Does this mean I do not need any additive for the sure-grip? The 3 guys at the Auto-Zone each had...

Try the Ring & Pinion Shop on Groesbeck (between 15 & 16 Mile Roads) in Clinton Township(?). Google them, I'm sure they'll pop up. They straightened out a poor narrow job on my buddy's purchased Pro-Street '71 Road Runner. Good Luck

mopartom340, I found the 8 3/4" SBP 10" X 1 3/4" rear drums at www.rockauto.com They are a Wagner part BD60123 Good Luck!

I've got an 8 3/4" in the Dart GT. I've noticed some gear lube drops on the floor under the rear differential. How do I check the level? What should the level be? If it is low, what type of gear oil do I fill with (90W?)? Any specific brand? Does sure grip make a difference additive wise...
