    Front pinion bearing fit

    So before I screw up my new bearing and gear set, I have a question regarding the front pinion bearing. I got out my old set of bearings that I ground down so I could slip fit to check pinion depth, and I had a hard time getting them to fit on my new pinion. I know the inner bearing is a press...

    Whistle at speed

    I just recently rebuilt my rear end with new bearings and seals and what not, but have run into an interesting issue. I thought the gears were in decent shape when I took the case apart, though the front pinion bearing was fairly loose when I took the center section out, so it may have been a...

    Where to find coarse spline 741 ring and pinion set

    As the title suggests, I'm looking into replacing the gear set on my 8.75 rear end. I bought a bearing kit for it and put it in a while back with the old gears, but it's been making a lot of noise since and I'm pretty sure the gears are fairly trashed by now. The pinion but backed out on me...

    Where to get a front pump for a 42RH (A500)

    So my brother's birthday is coming up and he has an old 94 Dakota V6 that was his first car and it's been showing its age pretty bad lately. I'm fairly sure the transmission is mostly junk, so I wanted to rebuild it for him as a present, but I'm having a bit of a hard time decoding all the...

    8 3/4 pinion shim question

    So I'm rebuilding my 8 3/4 center section since there was a lot of slop in it and some in and out movement on the pinion. However, now that I have the new bearing and shim kit I ran into a bit of a head scratcher. I ground down the inside of the old inner pinion bearing so I could slip fit it...

    Shipping a rear end

    So I'm looking into shipping my old rear end that I pulled out of my car to someone and was wondering what other people have done. Several years back my family shipped out a rear end to someone in California I believe and we just strapped it down to a pallet, but the person who bought it made...

    Rear Axle Identification

    So I know this isn't exactly A body, but I'd like to poll the knowledge base out there. I recently bought what I thought was a B body 8.75 rear end for my 67 Dart. However, after setting the axle under the old one in the car I noticed the spring perches were way further out. I measured them...

    Speedometer Gears

    So who all carries these things? I've looked around and the previous one I ordered through YearOne was from TCI, but they don't have any listings past 31 teeth or so (I need 36 for the new rear end). I've seen that Brewer's carries them, but apparently anything over 33 teeth is made of platinum...

    Vibration and Noise Issue

    So I just finished swapping in my new 8 3/4 and have run into some new issues. The first issue I noticed was that the driveline seemed to make a pretty nasty noise around 40 mph or so. It is most evident just cruising around town in 4th, but if I wind it high in 3rd you can start to hear it as...

    E Body 8.75 in a 67 Dart

    Has anyone ever tried an E body rear end swap into an A body that has pictures or numbers to share? I started measuring everything up and I'm pretty sure it could be done with the right backspacing. The E body axle is only 1.5 inches wider than a B body. I've come to the conclusion that I...

    Don't take stuff to ATSI

    So I just bought a new rearend and a new set of bearings and I don't have the means to press the old ones off and the new ones on. So I figure I'll just call some place and get it done, it couldn't cost that much right? I called around a few places and finally called ATSI. I asked for an...

    Ralleye rims

    I apologize ahead of time if this isn't quite the right section to post this in, but does anyone make the stock ralleye rims in different sizes? I have a set of 14" rims with the big bolt pattern, but want to step up tire size and width. i really like the look I got by painting the stock rims...

    Desperately need parking brake spreading / strut rod info

    I have a 67 Dart with an 8.25 rear end out of what I presume is a an early 70's B body. It looks like there haven't been any modifications to the axle that I know of (like narrowing, etc.). It has 10" drums with 2.5 inch brakes (the main reason I think it's out of a B body). When I took the...

    8.25 Casting Numbers

    Okay, I'm pretty much at my wits end for this one and can barely seem to find any information online for 8.25 rear ends, so I was hoping someone out there can give my a hand. I just bought a project car which I've found is rather hard to find parts for since I don't know what cars the parts...
