Guys, got my used A833 installed and just began putting some miles on it. Ok, the problems, its quite noisy in 2nd and 3rd gear, and much quieter in 4th. I think that would be cured with new bearings. Ok, it will shift into 2nd, but pops out if not held in. I just swapped in a new Compation Plus...

Guys, my original 318/ 904 , 43k miles, has begun to hesitate in the 2 to 3 shift. Rpms will pickup in 2nd and hold for a bit and if I kinda pat the throttle I can coax a final shift to 3rd. Car does sit a lot and just now started doing that. Pretty sure the trans has never been rebuilt and I am...

Guys, kinda of a bittersweet moment. Had this 73 basket case for years and finally got serious with making it roadworthy again. Reworked my first 440 backup to somewhat stock set points. Used a Howards cam and lifters at a bit over a stock cam, TQ and cast intake. At first fire up for cam break...

Ok Guys, some major milestones reached this week. Got my 73 project fired up and moving...finally after 15 years. I purchase a used A833 and got it installed where a po had put in an automatic. Had the dash out and tested the gauges and speedo needle bumped up as should be when hand tweaked...

In one of Nick latest dyno run videos , a 360 magnum , they blowout a stock head gasket somewhere around 5200. I did not hear at what compression ratio the engine was built to, but a compression check showed about 190 on one cylinder. Most rebuilds for me were mostly stockers and I would...

Guys , this case was in the trunk of my latest "clunker find in the woods" and it looks pretty bent to me. Good only for the metal scrape pile, what do yall see, anything worth keeping or scrap it all. It appears, best I can measure, to be from a 71-74 b body and I could have certainly used...

Guys, I have been collecting parts for several years now to return my OEM 73 four speed back to a four speed. A PO in the past had swapped the whole drive train over to an automatic, so , I ve had to find it all. The bell housing is a Mopar part I found at a swap meet. Seller said it came from a...

Guys , in searching my parts catalogs no one has a clutch pedal pad listed for any 71-74s. Seems they all stop at 70. The pedal is smaller than the brake pedal so that pad won't work. Anybody know anybody repopping them...thanks....

Mopar newbie here, I just found that the factory put studs on bottom ends of stock valve covers. Just curious as to about what year that started and if it was for all big and small block engines. Did that stop. I have stock 78 440 that I thought was original, but all bolts, no studs. thanks....

My neighbors family has a 68 with a 489 case and Suregrip. It appears a piece of the pinion broke off , got into the ring gear and snapped off one of the two main caps. Bent the crap out of the two bolts. Can a used main cap be used to repair or were they machined specifically to the case. They...

Guys in my " freshly aquired parts department" I noticed these tabs on a crank that is marked 413. They do not look welded on but I was thinking some one done that in the past in doing a balancing job. Those were not on there from the factory, correct?

Noob here Guys, I know very little about these. I acquired a bucket with the disassembled remains of a 3.23 Suregrip chunk. The case is a 489 and while I think its mostly all there , there is some rust on spider gears. May or may not clean up. My question is, what would be a ball park guess at...

Guys, I have several different metal plug wire looms and have no idea what loom attaches where for the different years of big blocks. Is there someplace that shows a picture of what loom and where it bolts to, as in head bolt, manifold stud, valve cover or intake stud . Current engine is for a...

Guys, my sb 727 tq con. appears to have a bad spot on the starter ring. If it lands there the starter just spins. I bump the engine over a bit and the starter will re engage. So, I have some other tq. conv.s from bb 727s that are also neutral balanced, will they exchange or are they made...

Guys, I think I have a Sure Grip in the 73 8 3/4 rear I just pulled. Got some very old looking , dirty gear lube cleaned out and ready for some new stuff. As a nubie to these I see some guys like the Motorcraft friction modifier over the Mopar friction modifier. Which one y'all like, and will...

Guys, the starter bolt holes in my 727 case are very sloppy and I thought were stripped. Did the factory use studs in one or both these , if so what size were used. A 7/16 x 14 bolt will go in loosely and a 1/2 bolt will not. Also on the stud was a course thread used into the 727 case with...

Pulled a 1974 cast crank engine apart for a rebuild. Pretty sure it had not been into before now. In measuring the crank main journals they all came in at 2.750 or 2.749 with 2.750 being dead stock. But the rod journals came in at 2.373 or 2.374 with 2.380 being dead stock. Would the company...

Guys, pulled the drive train out of my latest 50 year old project , and for sure, the PO had replaced them both . So, curious as to what I got, here are the stamping...PK4028424 5654 5216. I m guessing a mid seventies unit...thanks...

Guys, its time to purchase break in oil and I see most all the major oil brand companies make the good stuff needed, high Zinc and phosphorus compounds in various weights. Question is about using syntnentic or convention mineral base oils. No doubt about it, synthetics have been proved...

Guys, found myself needing to rebuild a 440 , a 76 block, for my 73 B body. Time to purchase internals and looking at KB 237 flat tops. Plan is to use the 452 heads for a mild rebuild. So, having not yet ran any KBs, I understand they are a decent replacements rather than twice the price...
