hey thanks for taking time to explain. i think i finally get it at least to some degree lol. i think i will get it out drive it a bit more to check for vibrations. then correct as necessary based on that. thanks to all who replied.

transmission is not hitting tunnel but is close. when i jack it up to shim it lifts car not transmission so something is maxed. also don’t want to stress engine mounts. i need to try and figure why it won’t raise. i agree easy to shim 1/4” if transmission moved. i need to figure out why it...

ok that makes sense i was thinking the 2 angles needed to be opposite and the same with weight on car not under acceleration. so if i was really worried i could raise the pinion 1 deg or so making the wrap up a little more reasonable. the car is street driven only with occasional spirited driving.

ok i lied i don’t think i understand it at all lol. can you show me how ya got 3.8 pinion angle? i thought pinion angle was angle relative to ground or level in my case about 2 deg. i don’t doubt your right i just want to understand it.

i have a 68 charger 383 with tko 5speed conversion from silver sport. i am trying to adjust pinion angle. i have read everything on the forum and lots on internet about it. i think i 1/2 understand it. my output shaft is 2.2 deg down and the pinion is about 2 deg down clearly not ideal ending up...

i have loosened all the bolts on the mounts and tried to move engine up from beneath but i guess there is little to no play on the bottom bolts caused nothing moved it just raised the front of car. i haven’t tried lifting engine from top side to see if the upper bolts might have some play. it’s...

i put new engine mount isolators on my 383 in a 68 charger. the isolators touch the engine block with basically no clearance on both sides of engine. the mount has about a 1/4” clearance. is this typical? i have double checked proper installation and all looks good. the new isolators are the...

i was only going by the info on their website according to them they are. OEM Spec Engine Mount - 66-72B 66-73C 70-74E if you look on their description they show thickness to be 1.4”. i didn’t measure mine. thanks, i will try loosening mounts

hey that part was easy i got my wife to do it!

lol. how much off is enough to cause issues? hey these tolerances are tight compared to those on my 40 ford!

i noticed the right side of my 383 in my 68 charger appears to be slightly lower than the left side (appears to be 1/16-1/8 or so). i am looking at the k member and center link relative to the oil pan and they are not perfectly parallel. i noticed it when i hooked up the center link. i have...

yep, sounds good thanks to everyone for your help.

right i got that but i expected the holes for the muffler brackets to be close to the same or otherwise seems the tail pipes won’t be level

yep i found the dimples for the left side the problem is that the welded right side is not at the same distance from the floor pan as the bracket using the dimples. so i am trying to figure out if the welded one on right is correct or not. unfortunately unless you have a pristine car there is no...

i am adding the left side muffler bracket on the floor pan on my 68 charger with 383 and when i locate it on the 4 dimples it is higher than the welded right side by an inch or so. i am guessing at some point somebody welded the right one on and didn’t locate it correctly. anyway does anyone...

it’s interesting my shift connection is different than anyone’s even other tkx transmission. pic below. is the sound deadner what you used to seal water out of the hole cut for the shifter? the boot they provided barely fit over my shifter mechanism and required stretching to reach the tunnel...

i have read this and kern dogs thread on the auto to manual conversion. i am putting a tkx into a 68 charger. i am in the process of putting in the patch panel. the car was console auto and i was planning on simply replacing auto top plate with manual. the question i have is how does the boot...

thanks

does anybody know the outside diameter of the dash medallion in 68 charger.

fans and fuel pump from the battery, the a/c from the dash. i measured the ac blower at about 11 amps on high, compressor is sanden they say it is about 5-7 amps so i figure total for ac out of dash about 20 amps. these guys at autowire are a lot smarter than i am any idea why they might design...
