I installed a TKO.... A buddy with a Cuda bought the TKO twenty plus years ago for a project... The car went through a lot of upgrades before it ever hit the road the first time... It only got driven about 500 miles... He built a much hotter engine than was the plan when the trans was chosen...

Everyone does fabrication differently, use what tools materials & skills you have... End of the day whether you choose a five speed or a six speed you're gonna love it... The fun it brings to driving is a game changer... In years past both my Challengers were automatics...I swapped out...

So, more gears keeps your engine in a tighter operating range... Great... Why did I build an engine with a wide torque curve? I like winding out the gears, Every time you shift your loosing acceleration between the shifts... The reason modern cars have six/seven/eight & even ten speeds is fuel...

5 speeds = really good acceleration from a dead stop to over 90+ MPH 6 speeds = really good acceleration from a dead stop to over 140+ MPH 6 speed is considerably bulkier requiring more tunnel modification.... Both are extremely fun....

I don't know if somehow everything changed but in the past camber remained consistent side to side.... Caster is used to compensate for pull caused by road crown....

You probably have a small block so this one won't work... Big Block... Pardon Our Interruption... But if you keep an eye on Ebay they pop up... Obsolete but old stock is still around... Search Prestolite Vacuum Advance..

Those aren't mine, from an old post on Moparts, sold back in 2005... I thought they were longer too.... Remember seeing a car at Spring Fling years ago, seemed like the lug nuts were 2.5-3" long....

Not quite what you're looking for... But NOS B body Kelsey Hayes Recall Wheel Lug Nuts... They are probably similar but 7/16 instead of 1/2...

yes

I had someone ask about polishing the gauge lens recently... I suggested Mothers... He thought that would be to harsh, I told him to try it anyway... It seemed to work... The little mini buffer seemed to really help...

Tarn-x works well.... five minutes in Tarn-x & your done

When I typed this and when I edited it there was spaces making things more readable.... But when posted it's kinda a mess.... a833 O/D ratio's are. 1st 3.09 2nd 1.67 3rd 1.00 4th .72 Tire height 25.9" If you use 3.91's 2500 rpm = 1st...

Cats are to much like women, they never forget... Ever.... And they find devious ways of extracting revenge... Justified or not...

yup, but make sure there's bearing preload and keep the back lash the same as it was... Change the backlash & you'll probably have a new noise.....

Hadn't even considered it...
