    How hard is a power steering gearbox rebuild? 73 dart

    I bought a kit at the dealer with several pieces. Try this link https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/power-steering-reaction-pressure-springs.209214/ These springs delay boost and reduce the amount of boost, so you can tailor the feel of the box to your liking. No more one-finger...

    Carb Advice

    IMO, not a big deal. Get your Transfers set-up right and it'll probably run fine.

    Inside tire wear on the front.

    Wrong toe will wear out both tires. One tire only, is a camber problem. The cause of that could be like like fourfold. My guess is the upper control arm has slipped it's adjustment. This is a common occurrance if new cam-bolts have recently been installed. The thread on the Moogs is not enough...

    Clutch Linkage Problem

    I have the same set-up. Had to shift stuff, bend a few things, clearance a pipe, all the usual stuff. However, I had no starter interference even with the Chrysler starter. My guess is that your Z-bar is a little too far to the inboard side. To Reiterate; the Z-bar needs to be parallel to the...

    A833 Transmission leaking at reverse light switch

    Yes this is very common and every new one I ever bought from the dealer also leaked there. Here is the cure; you will need a spraycan of Brakleen, a package of two-part epoxy( JB-Weld is ok ) compressed air, and a bench vise. 1) clean the outside 2) clamp the switch in in a vise, contacts down...

    sloppy shifter

    I have been running various A833s almost continuously since 1970. In the beginning, with the factory Hurst shifter, but one of the first upgrades I did was a Mr. Gasket shifter, which I still use today, Daymn thing is over 50 years old, and is still in as received condition. What I have noticed...

    FAIL right out of the package.

    And here I have been bragging on their big square-top SuperCoil that hasn't skipped a beat in over 20 years, hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Should I start carrying a spare? Hell no, I'm retired now and don't have to be anywhere on time, except maybe to my funeral, lol

    Help converting my 64 to 66 23 Spline 8A33 to an overdrive ?

    This is a hard read for me; 1) Do you want to convert your trans, as in take it apart and install the overdrive gears? or 2) Do you want to drop your current trans, heave it into the back-40, and then buy/install a good used overdrive box? I mean reading your post, I think both scenarios are a...

    Leakdown test on rebuilt engine

    Did you do a compression test? A Leakdown test? A blowby test? In your case; First let me say; here is a wild card; if the oil has been washed off the cylinder wall in the low-reading cylinder, for whatever reason, well; ALL BETS ARE OFF. Assuming this has not occurred, then; If you only have...

    Valve adjustment.......

    I set mine at ambient temp of ~70*F. That way I can take all day, it don't matter if I a take lunch break in between. The magic numbers for me have always been .013 and .023 Too tight on the exhaust usually makes mine run funny. Like herky-jerky, but, Mine is 9.5Scr with a bit of a cam, lol.

    Non A-body mopar question

    In my 55 years of street driving, I've had quite a few cars with 7.25s/and autos and have never even hurt one of them. One of them even had a high-pressure, 340-2bbl with headers. Now transmissions, those I have blown up.

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    I won't pretend to know your problem(s), but like Rusty, I spent many years doing alignments in a tireshop. So I can tell you how to figure it out, hopefully in the least frustrating way. Here goes. I always check the CASTER first at Zero-CAMBER. Caster you know, so lets look at camber. In...
