    Cable Shift 727 to Floor Console Shift - What should I expect

    I must not have a true cable shift transmission, just a single cable operating the shift linkage for park, reverse and all three drive gears. I'm guessing it could operate the 904 linkage with minimal adjustment.

    Cable Shift 727 to Floor Console Shift - What should I expect

    I'm looking to swap out the 904 in my 68 Charger that has a floor console out with what I think is a "cable shift" 727 from a 1967 D100. What linkage issues might I expect to encounter when doing the swap? Thank you.

    Transmission Shops near Kansas City?

    Does anyone know of any good transmission builders in the Kansas City area? I have a 727 core that I'm considering for a rebuild or maybe a trade. Thanks!

    Question about voltage regulator and charging

    Thanks for your advice and the links. I have the basic, bare bones alternator. I put it on after I discovered the previous alternator was not matched to the car and was the culprit for a number of issues years ago. If I have any more problems I'll look into a proper up-grade. All the best.

    Question about voltage regulator and charging

    Thank you Wietse and Nacho-RT74. My Voltage Regulator has the modern components. I went through another series of tests: At 1200 rpms I had 14.7 volts at the alternator (+ probe on the post leading to the battery and - probe grounded to the back of the alternator case) and 14.10 at the...

    Question about voltage regulator and charging

    If I may add a question since I'm having an issue similar to Sonny. I'm working on a 68 Charger with a 318. At idle I have 13.6 volts at the battery (which is brand new) and the ignition side of the voltage regulator and with the lights on it drops to 12.7. With the lights off and rpms up...

    Carburetor Problem

    It was the wire. And I probably only got a thousand miles out of it as it was relatively new. Thanks for the tip!

    Carburetor Problem

    I have the idle worked as good as good can be and have been happy with the results, but the carb gradually started chugging a little again and lost power. I checked the plugs and sure enough the # 8 cylinder plug was completely fouled and covered with oil. This is the second time it has...

    Locked keys in trunk, no spare!

    I did the same thing once and had no success finding a locksmith willing to even look at my 68. Therefore, I had to do what was suggest previously, pull out the back seat and crawl in through the trunk with a flash light. You have two options once you are back there if I recall correctly. (1)...

    67 Sweptline

    I used to be stationed in Germany as well (Hohenfels & Schwienfurt) and drove around those back roads . . . but unfortunately I was in a four-banger Opel.

    67 Sweptline

    That is interesting Cranky! I've been anxious to find and drive a 70 or 71 in order to check out the suspension. My Uncle had a 71 years ago that I rode in but I was too young to know what to look for. I did go ahead and put a set of front disc brakes from the Ram Man which significantly...

    67 Sweptline

    I originally came with a 318 and a manual transmission. By the time I got it nearly ten years ago it had a 383 with a 727 and the shifter on the dash. No AC or radio and at the suspension is slightly more advanced than a Model T. But I like it!

    Carburetor Problem

    I have another carb in storage that I'll be able to pull in a couple weeks and will compare the condition of the idle mixture screws. That is a good suggestion as there is only a little change in the idle speed when I turn the screws in and out - maybe three pounds of vacuum, from 11 down to 8...

    What's your very first Mopar memory?

    1975. I was five years old riding in back of a barracuda with the seat folded down and staring out of that huge back window looking at the stars.

    Carburetor Problem

    I finally had a chance to look into the carb this weekend again. I pulled it apart, blew air through the passages and was able to get the butterfly under the primaries adjusted better and inspected the gaskets. It starts much better, and the choke is working, and the idle circuits are behaving...
