Are you not in kelowna anymore?

Quite easy. When they crack, the cracks originate in the corners of the two slots that drive the transmission oil pump. The ones that I have seen have been obvious, quite apparent to the naked eye.

It is very possible that the torque converter snout is cracked. This is very common on a 904, perhaps more common than a seal leak, and presents the same. I get the whole lost the drive thing, it happens to me, but once I get out in the garage with a nice drink and some tunes playing I fall...

So, I haven't had an a body in quiet a few years now, and this is an a body site. I have been working on my 55 (which is for sale if anyone is interested). But thought I would jump into this thread. I just bought this, a 49 dodge with a Plymouth nose. Plans are to turn it into a gasser with an I...

Awesome Mike. I am jealous. Going to head across the gulf for the old time drags at mission thus year?

Beautiful!

Keep it up Mike, you will have it done soon!

Check for cracks in the torque converter snout, they like to crack out of the corners of the pump drive slot. When the crack grows past the seal surface they start to leak. Also, from sitting the torque converter will drain back into the transmission and overfill the pan which sometimes causes...

I was just thinking..... it has been a long while since any updates. How is the progress on the barracuda?

Sent you a pm

I have a small set up at work for doing aircraft parts. I can do bare cad (silver), conversion coated cad (more durable, gold color) or zinc. You have done such an amazing job on that dart, if I can help out with a little plating it would be a privilege.

If you can straighten your original dust caps send them to me and I will cad plate them. Were they originally cad or zinc? Send me a pm if you are interested.

Man, that is beautiful. Looking awesome! Can’t wait to see it in the car!

Yes, correct. With a diaphragm clutch the over center spring can, in some cases, be strong enough that it prevents the pedal from returning up from the floor. Diaphragm clutches require much less pedal effort. I have removed the spring before and replaced it with a much lighter one to pull the...

Looking great Mike!

I think there should also be a small spacer between the two? Certainly something funny going on there...

Isnt that the wrong end of the rocker to contact the spring retainer?

Mzak88........ your inbox is full. Trying to pm you.

Hey mzak, I have some door handle buckets for you. Your inbox is full so I cannot message you. Message me an email or phone number if you want them.

I am out of town right now. I might have a couple. Send me a pm, I will look when I am back home. Cheers

Love your car! I may have some parts left over from the dart sport that I built a few years ago. I will look through my boxes and let you know if I have anything that I think you may need. I have been here in kelowna for quite a while, if you ever need a hand with anything dont hesitate to...

Hey mzak88, what part of kelowna are you from, have we crossed paths before? Yellow dart sport?

Thanks for sharing! Extremely cool car and cool story. Life, family, hotrods..... they all have to be balanced and ebb and flow. Looking forward to watching your progress! I had a 69 barracuda in high school in the 80s. I am currently looking for a 69 notch to build much like you are except...

From wikipedia...... Dodge Deluxe - Wikipedia

Love the pre muscle era mopars! I have upgraded my 55 with a 440 / 727, ford 8.8 (4wheel disc brakes!) Rusty hope disc brake conversion and home brewed 12v conversion. I dont know much about the 40's era but I would suspect with some ingenuity you could do the same. BB truck headers fit mine...

I love obnoxious big blocks!

I was beginning to wonder! How is the car coming along?

Looking good Mike!

Keep the updates coming!
