[WANTED] WANTED - A903

[Elmo65]

WANTED:A903
Still trying to figure out how to use this forum. Would like to find something I can pick up. I also need a manifold combo for a slant 6. Used is great. All it needs to do is function correctly. I’m in east texas. Will answer all replies. If I can figure out how. Thanks in advance.

If you're looking for just stock replacement one barrel intake manifold and just a stock exhaust manifold, I have all of it, including an A903 transmission. I'm in Georgia, though.

 

[Elmo65]

I’m interested, but that would be quite a day trip. Let’s see who else bites.Thank you.

Indeed it would. If nothing else pops up, maybe we could work out a member delivery chain. It's been done in the past. The manifolds will be easy. The transmission may be a little more difficult. @memike is right next door in Arkansas and has a 66 Valiant. Maybe he has some things. I tagged him, so maybe he'll chime in.

 

[Elmo65]

Thank you. I’ll keep watch.

A used 2bbl intake and a header to match would be nice if the price were right.

 

[Elmo65]

OOPS!

What's wrong with your A903?
Those things are super simple.
Back in the 70s I rebuilt hundreds of those, with not even one comeback in over 5 years.

Worn out. Sloppy shifting. And transmissions are not my thing. I would not have any idea where to get the parts or how to install them.

 

[Elmo65]

Seems easier to buy a transmission. That I can do.

 

[Elmo65]

Still looking.

 

[AJ/FormS]

903s were born "sloppy" shifting. Even a fresh rebuilt one . I mean have you seen the internal design? If it ain't grinding gears, the trans is fine.
Maybe some of your sloppiness is in the shifter.

Before I would buy another 903, I would change to a full-synchro A230, and a Hurst floor-shifter.

 

[Elmo65]

The problem is it hates going into second gear. Maybe the angle on the linkage is too long. It has a Hurst shifter. It went in fine with the column shift. It goes into third just fine.

You should inspect the shifter bushings first.
