Ok, so next up on my rebuild list is the rear axle and diff. 70 Charger SE, 383 HP, Auto, 8 3/4 Suregrip, 489 case (not sure of gear ratio until I remove the axles and pig). It was running/driving when parked in '83 (42 years ago) and everything spins. Based on the odometer, it has around 114k...
Based on the part number in the picture (2781937) , I believe I need the 7290 U-Joints. Are they the same (front and back) on a stock 70 Charger, 383 HP, Auto, and 8 3/4 suregrip? The yokes measure the same, so guessing they are the same but looking to see what's normal.
Do people rebuild them...
Ok, so went through the Tom Hand book, rebuilt everything, took my time during reassembly, reviewed my disassembly pictures as I reassembled - paying special attention to thrust washers and anything that didn't look right (many other posts as I went along), and guess what - I have too much end...
So I've read through many threads on Torque Converters; however, I'm still not sure what to buy for my car.
1970 Charger SE - 383 HP, auto, sure-grip (don't have the build sheet and haven't popped the diff yet to see what the ratio is). I'm keeping everything stock, I didn't crank the HP, I'm...
Mine had one that hooked together on the ends and one that didn't hook. The rebuild kit seems to have 2 non hooked ones for replacement.
As I know (based on my other question) that someone has it apart, what is correct (books don't show it clearly).
Thanks

For the rear clutch subassembly, I think this thrust washer should be replaced. I don't match any in the thrust washer kit - all the similar sized ones have tabs on them
Should I just clean up the original?
Thanks for any advice or hints on where to buy / part number for the correct replacement.
All, does the bushing look bad enough to replace? It's discolored but I don't feel any grooves. I have the bushing, but not sure how to extract the old one. Is my only option a chisel - not really a lip behind it to get a bushing driver in there.
Thanks in advance

All, on the reaction shaft there are what looks like ball bearings (see pic). Are those supposed to move or spin at all (they don't currently).
Also on the pump there is a tiny indent (2nd pic). Anything to worry about - might have been there since it was made.
Thanks
Ross
Does anyone have the quantity, type, and location of the brake line clips that are welded to the rear axle? I have 1 that's currently in place and what looks like 2 other locations where they "may have been" at one time. I'm going to remove the diff and axles for rebuilding/replacing bearings. I...
I'm researching the rebuild for the 727 in my '70 Charger with a 383HP. I've been searching/reading FBBO threads on rebuild kits, have the manual by Tom Hand (and I've actually read some of it), and getting ready to buy a rebuild kit so the fun can begin. There are many different types of...
I'm cleaning up the original motor mounts on my 70 Charger 383 HP. They look ok to me, but should I be disassembling and replacing the isolator? Is that a thing or will my 55+ year old mounts be fine?
All, I'm reading through the ICCA Restoration and Judging Guidelines Reference Manual by David Wise (fun reading). I'm not looking to be uber-crazy about dip lines, overspray on undercoating, etc; however, I want to get the colors and textures correct or very close. For engine colors, it...
As the title says, I'm looking for a shop to at least clean/check the block in my '70 Charger project (maybe more). Anyone who has experience with any shops in the Greenville/Spartanburg area, please give me a shout.
Thanks in advance!
