    which driveline?

    redneck kick down linkage

    Just make sure that the kickdown lever at the trans is in the full forward position when the throttle is closed. About the only thing I would change is to replace the spring on the kickdown linkage with a shorter one that would hold the linkage in the full forward position once the free end of...

    redneck kick down linkage

    Are you having problems with early/delayed shifts? Reason I ask is that the position of the linkage in the pics looks pretty much normal to me...

    Long sitting/no usage, rear axle

    With that cam you may want to bump your rear gear up into the 3.55-3.91 range since you have the OD trans. That will also answer any questions you may have about the Sure Grip since you will have it out for a gear swap...

    Need help with Speedometer cable

    Rock auto only has one listing for '68 and newer and the ends look like this... '67 and older look like this... Look up what you need for your car in the body-interior section. All they offer is an 80 incher which will replace yours nicely. Doesn't matter which transmission you have, all the...

    A500/42rh

    Herc chief, as long as you're here and in the mood to answer questions (thanks for that) I'm gonna hijack and ask one of my own. Do you see any reason why the A500 guts and tailshaft/housing won't swap into a 904 case? Just curious...

    You may want to do a search and read a couple of old threads about the mods needed to do this swap before jumping into that pool. Picking a tranny is the least of your problems...

    69 Valiant, Speedo INOP, 904 Trans Help

    Before you remove the speedo gear housing, make a clean spot where the edge of the housing meets the tranny case. Use a Sharpie, Witeout, or whatever you got handy, and make a mark across the gap between the two. That way you can get the housing and new gear clocked properly. The speedo gear...

    help with a noise from the back of the car.

    According to the VIN you have a 7 1/4" rear end (G 318). They don't last too long behind a 360. Pull the cover on the rear end and check for bits of metal and chunks of teeth. How do the spider gears look? If you are lucky all you will find is shiny gear oil. I had a '77 Roadrunner (318/ 7 1/4")...

    help with a noise from the back of the car.

    Sounds to me like spider gears. What is the 5th digit of the VIN? Should be a C or G. That will give us some idea of which rear end you should have in the car...

    axle question

    The big problem with the stock axle bearings was getting the preload right. This was adjusted by pulling the passenger side axle and using a special tool to reach in and turn the thrust button in the differential to make it longer or shorter, then reinstall the axle, remeasure end play, and...

    4" bolt circle would be 10X1 7/8" brakes and 4 1/2" bolt circle would be 10X2 1/2" brakes or larger. If the backing plates measure 11" or just a tad less they are for 10" brakes...

    Slant 6 Automatic problems

    Back in '68 dad bought a 19' travel trailer and used our slant powered '67 Valiant to tow it. Even after the tranny cooler installation (2nd trip) we had the same problem you are describing. Before the 3rd trip, the car went into the dealership and the 904 tranny was upgraded to V8 specs (extra...

    7 1/4 Oil Seals Installation

    I use a thin layer of RTV on the outside of the seal and once it's home smear a dab of grease on the seal lip before sliding the axle home. Be careful not to slice the seal with the axle splines or you have it all to do over...

    340 904 trans swap options

    Keeping it 904 will not introduce a few more headaches you don't need right now. Since you have a neutral balance 340, grab the trans and converter from any '68-'77 smallblock and it will bolt in, no problems. Doesn't matter which car you find it in...

    What trans in 1965 Barracuda with 273

    Which transmission does it have.... If an automatic it's a 904. If it's a 4 speed it's an 833. If it's a 3 speed manual and the problem is the horrible grinding and clashing when you try to shift into 1st gear and the car is moving, don't worry about it. First gear in this transmission does not...

    needing a new rear end and advice

    Valiants and derivatives (Duster, Demon, Dart Sport) were 108" wheelbase. Darts and Scamps were 111" wheelbase. Whichever rear end you go with, all you have to do is take your current drive shaft to a competent drive line shop and have it shortened to suit. All they will need to know is which...

    7-1/4 cover plate differences?

    I think you may have come up with an all time stumper. In over 45 years of crawling under Mopars I can truthfully say I have never taken a good look at a 7 1/4" rear end. I could never get past those spindly axle tubes...
