Hi, I've just wiped out the second thrust bearing, yes the engine was built right both times. The torque converter is near stock and most likely not ballooning. I'm looking at the FSM and there is mention of a torque converter control valve and it is illustrated in the color hydraulic...

Hi Guys, I had my engine rebuilt after a thrust bearing failure, thinking the cause was an incorrect flexplate. And now it has happened again after a few thousand miles. The only significant change I made prior to both failures was changing the shift point from stock to 5800 rpm. Besides...

Hi, I've got a vintage 1964 Torqueflite 727, rebuilt 25,000 miles ago, it has a shift kit, recently installed 5800 rpm governor, and sits behind a 2400 rpm stall PTC converter. Was a stock converter before. The transmission will leak fluid until just at the low mark on the stick and stop...

Had to go to Plan B...B for Belvedere II. Anyone else going?

Who else is going to Mopar Madness in Dinwiddie this weekend? I'll be running DOT class.

Been searching on Google for a 1st gear ratio higher than 2.45 and haven't found such a thing. Any of y'all know if there is such a thing? Somewhere in the 3 to 3.5 range would be ideal. Thanks in Advance, Joel

Got a Halloween race comin' up at the end of the month. This will be my first time participating in this event. Was wondering if any of y'all have done anything to your cars. Just looking for ideas. Already know that I'll be driving a 1966 Plymouth Hellvedere II and my co-pilot will be a skeleton.

I made a snowblower and a clod air intake.

Hey All, Happy New Year! While at the new Year's Nationals at Richmond Dragway i wasn't able to get the engine up to the normal temperature because I'd recently changed the intake manifold and went to a lower thermostat, and it was cold outside. Thinking it through I decided to run the engine...

First, if any of y'all know of threads for this please let me know. I've searched and found nothing, but could be I'm using the wrong keywords. I've got a stock 66 belvedere with a poly 318. Am now considering stroking a poly to about 400 cu. in. It should produce 420 HP and 460 Torque. It is...

I have a new tank, hoses and grommet that I installed about 3 months ago. I noticed a leak around the grommet an hour after installing a much more responsive carb. Eventually I concluded that the tank had shifted during some burnouts and hard launches. I bent the filler tube bracket to realign...

Hey All, I run street n strip class. We typically start hot lapping toward the end of racing events. I believe this is to allow the other classes some time to cool down. My 60' to 330' times take a hit. Is this because the torque converter is affected by the hot transmission fluid? Have any of...

Hello all, Merry Christmas etc! I noticed that my 66Bel is low on the right rear by 3/4". Steering's good but it looks bad. I'd love to tell people that they are SS springs but the poly just doesn't back it up. I searches the forum and found choices of getting springs re-curved or buying new...

Hello All, Now that I'm re-assembling the car after several hundred hours of body work I've discovered that I need the left side vertical trim, I'd like to have the right and bottom as well. These 2 parts have holes drilled in them.... looks like screws were run through the trim into the window...

....a long time comin' Joel

Hi Everyone, Now that the body work is wrapping up I'm looking to the drivetrain and power plant again. I've got a poly rebuilt by the previous owner. It has a slightly larger that stock cam. (I don't have the card) A Weiand intake and a 650 Holley. Behind it is a 727 with medium shift kit, low...

Hello All, Well, looks like the 66 Belvedere II is getting paint in about 2 weeks. Was wondering if there are any tricks, tips or procedures for installing the side trim on a freshly painted (base/clear) car. I fear chipping or otherwise damaging the paint as the trim is snapped into place. I'm...

Hi Guys, For some time now I've been trying to find the original trim mounts made of plastic. The trim snaps over these pieces. The car is missing a few. Nay of y'all know where to find these?
