On a "29" body (Duster, Demon, Dart Sport) and 67-69 Barracuda, no wheel issues- run any wheel you want. I had 75 Charger 15x6.5 rally wheels on the back of my Duster with that B body axle. It looked like it should have left the factory that way. Puts the rear track in line with the front...

I've called them chunks for almost 40 years.

I've actually had better reliability with 904's than with 727's. As for 3.55 gears- I had no problem with 3.55 behind a 383 and L 60 15 tires. The folks I ran around with that ran 3.91's always complained if we had to go anywhere at freeway speeds. Not me.

Pontiac "8 lug" wheels/drums have 5 "lugs" on the axle flanges-

Note to self- mark UP the plates I have that will be going to my swap meet parts pile.

Neat piece. So, the reverse lock out does still work?

Kickdown is NOT shift point adjustment. Be super careful messing with the kickdown. There is only one "right" way. Leaving it loose is the easiest way to cook a Mopar trans- specifically third gear.

...or the easiest possible solution to a problem.

Last I bought was at wally's and was $8.50. I need some more and priced it at Advance yesterday- $13. Gonna look at wal-mart today. I like the gallon idea.

Aren't they flat on the side?

Is a "case stretcher" needed like a gm housing?

73 seems way too early to have a mod for 2.4x gears already built in.

Is 97 the year the splines changed? IE 97 is the first year of the different spline count.

Yep Easy

The main issue with formulations that are fundamentally different is- -don't mix them. if you have a fresh build you can basically use whatever you want (within reason and respect to the actual specifications), just don't "top it off" with something else that's not forward/backward compatible.

Still valid info.

Unless you're building a strip or street/strip car why wouldn't you want to keep the lockup converter for better MPG?

IIRC- 741 in everything utill mid year '68, then 742 for a brief stretch, and by '71/'72- 489 in everything. 3.55 741 extremely common in A series vans and trucks with 225 engine. My research suggests 742 actually has the most difficult to find gear selection.

Do truck axles have holes and/or a pad to mount a pinion snubber? I've pulled quite a few 3.55 chunks from A-100 vans and trucks.

There's always F/M/J body 8 1/4 axles. Every 5th Ave I've seen has one. ...but they are usually a 2.45 gear.

You may have better luck finding a 65-67 B body with an 8 3/4 under it. I's only 2" wider than an A body 8 3/4 and basically will drop right into a Duster, Demon, Dart Sport or 67-69 Barracuda. People will tell you you have to move the spring perches but you don't. Fitting into an A body with...

If you want to drive to Dayton, I'm sure Kammer and Kammer would do it.

Are the brake shoes adjustment run in so the shoes clear any ridge that's on the drum? Difficult to do, but sometimes you gotta.

I think 65 is the first year for the non swage axles. I put a 66 B body 8 3/4 in a 73 Duster and it all but dropped right in. It is a little wider and it puts the rear wheels in the same track as the front wheels on a disk brake car. Those three years (65-67) are THE years to put in an A...

...until the 8 1/4, which could also be found behind 400-2 barrel cars!

Also could be in 67 and later B body cars with 273 and 318.

I got one ... in an aluminum case ...in a truck ...behind a 10:1 440

Also, some people (like me) don't like the look of an axle that's narrower than necessary. I didn't even like the factory axle width of my 73 Duster with Disk Brakes. I put an uncut 67 B body 8 3/4 under it and to my eyes it looked more "correct" with the front and rear track the same.
