compression fitting coupler. remove excess length which would be replaced by the fitting.r unless you have money to blow I'd repair the line by cutting and splicing in a fitting.

Very nice Rusty. I figured as much regarding the abuse vs potential for failure. My buddy had a 727 with normal cheetah VB for years on the street with no issue and he raced all the time. No slicks and no burnouts in 1st.

Rusty, By being stupid I assume you mean burnouts in 1st gear with slicks? What else could cause me problems related to driving techniques? Thanks.

So, I understand the holding power associated with low band apply on a manual VB. And the same with a stock VB in manual low. Lots of aftermarket VBs dont have manual low band apply. What is the difference between launching in drive on a stock transmission and launching in low on a manual VB...

Holler at him and see. I suspect that he is referring to ping caused by sudden increased in throttle resulting in faster burn conditions in the chamber which requires the reduction in timing to compensate. The argument regarding ported vs. manifold is never ending. I got no comment on that...

Well since you love your converter and I dont blame you. You will want to maintain your engine rpm above the converter stall so that you are properly connected to the ground in order to get decent mileage. So, I guess if you either move 3" taller rear tire or change gears to taller and still...

Put a 2.94 suregrip in it. And put a stock stall rpm converter in there. It will be a great highway power machine. Long stroking it all the way to 145 or so. Cruisin at 70 (at 2650 rpms) will be like butter as your cam just came on torque. Cruising at 90 will also be like effortless velocity...

RRR, I am totally onboard with your described operation of the SG. I agree, delete the whole thing and just create a new thread solely about rebuilding a cone SG. Then ask the mods to lock the thread. All this debate has taken away from your great info. My fault included.

Supershaft, that is a torque differentiating trans-axle. It has servos which modulate clutch drag to planetary gear sets which modify the output ratios. And the "torque sensing" in a clutch or cone type occurs when the rotational force of the carrier applies pressure against the spider gears...

I enjoy my posi in my daily driver dakota and it does not have over 250 hp. Just a low first gear. Pulling out onto a busy road I am guaranteed to get perfect launch and merge into the lane. A one tracker would just get me killed in some of the traffic in CA. I would say it is a top priority...

"The spring holds the pressure against the side gears or cones and that creates the bind" No "if, if there was such torque sensing then the wheel would never lose traction and it would build indefinitely or until the carrier split in half" Doesn't explain anything and is not an accurate...

Great info!

Very nice, subscribed.

Cool AIV thanks!

Ill check them out. Thanks MAD DART.

Looking for a VB for street low band apply valve body with forward pattern, unit for 727. Anyone have suggestions on a brand / PN ?

Yep. Plenty of expansive force applied due to the gears trying to escape. My cones were bottoming at the nose out on my B body, so one wheel spin, so I took the cones out and milled 1/8" off the noses and put a 1/8" shim on the backs. Worked fine for 5 years then the car was totaled due to the...

I have had 3 7.25 mopar rear ends behind /6 engines and they all had lots of slack in them. Seemed that by 125+ K they were clunky and sloppy. I agree, would hold out for a Mopar 8.25 from an A body or a possibly an Aspen / Volare rear end. Until you come across your desired rear-end just...

Are you going to start a transmission build thread? That would be a good read.

http://www.summitracing.com/popup/calcsandtools/gear-ratio-calculator I would run 3.55 with a 27" tire.

I think the concern with street driving the "non rear band apply" manual valve bodies is mainly if the rear sprag fails due to some sort of driving mistake, it may be easy to accidentally blow the trans to pieces and hurt yourself. We have ran several non rear band apply valve bodies on the...

I lost a drive shaft about 135 - 145 mph and it removed my whole transmission and a chunk of my block for me all in a a split second, fire and sparks shot all over hell and back but nothing thru me. Had a chronic vibration, I'll never drive with a drive line vibration over 15 mph again.

I agree, run a stock converter until you get your car modifications like engine, cam, tires, rear end ratio done, then buy the right converter once. Get your car and engine build sorted out and its intended purpose of usage first. If you are not doing much drag racing then I would mention...

Reckon I was wrong as heck. Glad to hear you got it running! Nice looking carb.

If you are getting poor fuel volume from your tank from either clogged system or failing pump your carburetor bowl will typically be full at idle and when you go to moderately accelerate it will pull smooth for 5 - 10 seconds then the fuel supply issue will show up as the bowl full of fuel in...

Well, what gears are you running in your car, what height tire, what is the car for? If you have a 64 4 speed does it have the trunion tail shaft or the slip yoke and what is the part number of the trans so we can get the actual gear ratios? Considering your rear end ratio, purpose for the car...

When I was a kid, I had my small ends milled down too. I did not shim it though during assembly. I didnt know about the procedure, just observed them bottoming out from the wear pattern and observed that removing from the small end would allow the sides to grip again. My sg occasionally would...

I do not know. The 318 has a particular balance on the torque converter I believe it depends on the year. I believe the earlier 318 torque converters were neutral balance and maybe the later years were weighted. I dont even know if the /6 tc has a higher stall and if it would be worth it...

Yea, so all small block mopar from like 64-98 or something like that have the same bolt pattern for the transmission. http://www.allpar.com/mopar/318.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TorqueFlite Check er out.

I just cant see why installing an a833 OD would be cost prohibitive if you had patience and sourced good used parts and disassembled them for a good check out like all used parts should be. Save yourself a bundle of money and fabrication. Just pick up one part at a time and be sure it is a...
