Thanks to all. Been on a road trip, white mountains of New Hampshire and a trip Took the GTS up Mt Washington, 6288’ to the peak. Cliff Ramsdell

My taxi with steel wheels and “dork” caps came from Dodge main with them as ordered, white wall tires too. I’ll stick with them and for the Fury that was posted, we’ll I think that car is nothing short of an amazing job showing what ma could have done if the 440+6 wasn’t enough. Cliff Ramsdell

I have a wheeltronics mid rise lift. It’s marked snap on but wheeltronics made them. 36” lift height and it’s great for everything except pulling the transmission. Oil change, tire rotation, brake and suspension work, amazing and it’s portable. I move it around the garage so I can park two...

Glad that worked out. Post some pics. It’s great when everyone comes together to help out and there is success in the process. A stock replacement hardware kit with all new studs and barrel nuts and you’re good to go. Cliff Ramsdell

To me, looking at the old photos it appears that the fastener is a header bolt and not a nut on the stud. This could explain how it was done to start with. 1/4” drive socket and extension, grind it down to fit. I also second pulling the column out, pretty easy task that clears up a bit of...

23 years. 1968 Dodge Dart GTS 340/4 speed. My ex decided it didn’t need to live in the garage and how “we” could use the money. Sold it and lost it till 2005 when it popped up on the internet, thank goodness I remember the VIN” 5 years later tracking it down and one of my sons buys it and gives...

Pressure test shows things like low pressure which can effect clutch pack engagement. Line pressure is 60 psi give or take but reverse apply is upwards to 300 and if you have low pressures reverse can still function but you will have issues with the forward gears. I’m of the opinion that the...

Before you tear it apart start with some diagnostics. Get a pressure gauge and a factory service manual and do a pressure test as outlined in the manual before dropping the pan. This could/will point you in a direction. If the car isn't moving and pressures are good drop the pan and inspect. If...

Yes, it was out of a 1968 J code super bee. Cliff Ramsdell

Bob, That transmission has been gone for years. I can look through my transmission book but I don't believe that I wrote the part number for the transmission down, sorry. Cliff Ramsdell

Price adjust, $250.00 shipped USPS flatrate in the lower 48 states.

Hi all, I have a very nice 1968 Mopar 426 Hemi 727 valve body. Unmodified original piece. 2801856 upper casting number, 2466886 transfer plate casting number. $300.00 plus shipping insured. Should fit into a large flat rate box, I’ll check. Thanks, Cliff Ramsdell

Another added tip, from another old guy, I use a large plastic tray like a lunch tray and lay my stuff out on it when I'm working on a carb or other items with small parts that can roll off the bench. Cliff Ramsdell

@nwcharger i passed your post along to a buddy in Worcester who’s a long time Mopar guy, hope something comes of it. Cliff Ramsdell

Thanks @kiwigtx and everyone else who took the time to wish me a happy birthday. I don’t get on every day and I’m sorry I missed this. We had a wonderful day, took out the car and drove to the highest peak in CT and it was a dirt road to get there (would have been nice to know that before) and...
