    I love Hylomar!!

    A couple years ago I installed a B&M deep sump pan with the Moroso "blue" gasket on the Coronet. No leaks yet. The OEM pan wasn't leaking either, but I wanted the additional capacity and the B&M comes with a sending unit.

    What gear is everyone running

    If you have a 5 spd or OD unit then you can go 4.10's on the street. I swapped out 3.55's for Motive Performance 4.11's, really woke up the performance. With the Tremec it's still only turning about 2K at 65 mph.

    Hyd TO bearing system rebuild

    The Dart has a Tremec 5 spd from Keisler Engineering with the hydraulic TO bearing. The past year or so I've dealing with a spongy clutch pedal - to the point that I couldn't shift into gear. I can turn off the engine, shift into 1st, restart and take off. The hydraulics would work OK when the...

    Swapping pigs

    I wanted to follow up on the diff swap. Had the SG from the Coronet rebuilt while it was out - good thing too because the clutches were worn down and a spider gear lost a tooth - found it at the bottom of the housing. The Dart loves the 4.11's; it's a totally different driving experience. And...

    Swapping pigs

    To your point, it took a 4' cheater bar slipped over the 3' breaker bar to bust it loose. I know it gets harder and harder to bust a nut as we get older, but this was ridiculous.

    Swapping pigs

    I took it for granted that if the yoke was replaced then a new crush sleeve would be installed. Since the Power Lok is being rebuilt anyway, a new crush sleeve is in order. I'm having the yoke replaced so that the 7290 UJ is retained, rather than go with the hybrid 7260/7290. I know I'm...

    Swapping pigs

    I'm curious - what's the reason for not wanting to swap yokes?

    I hear you. They're both laying in front of me and I have to stop for a moment and think which one is going where...

    Swapping pigs

    Thanks for the link, it clears things up. While examining the UJ I noticed the inside locks; wondered what I had because I'm used to the more common 1330/1350's. I have the 7290's.

    Swapping pigs

    The Dart has the 3.55's so it's over 10, but it could use a little more pep in it's step, especially in 5th. At 65 mph it's turning less than 2,000 rpm. Rear tires are 245-60/15. And I decided to swap the Coronet tapered bearings to green and have a shop rebuild the OEM limited slip.

    Swapping pigs

    The PO of the Dart was a mechanic; the Dart was originally a /6 auto with a 7.25" and he swapped in a 360, Tremec, and 8.75". He did a nice job on the build; it doesn't surprise me that the bearings and diff aren't OEM.

    Swapping pigs

    Thanks guys. Over the years I've heard of the 'Green' vs. OEM adjuster debate and now I have evidence of both in my garage. The difference has posed another issue though; the Dart diff doesn't have the thrust pin and it's going to need it before I slam it into the Coronet; and the 'Net pin has...

    Swapping pigs

    This weekend I'm swapping the 3.55 SG from the Dart into the Coronet. Both are 489 cases. The 'Net's 3.23's don't work with the Hughes cam and Dynamic high stall converter. And with the Tremec 5 spd the Dart needs steeper gears so I'm having a shop swap out the 3.23's for a 4.10/4.11 set...
