I clearanced my housing like the picture showed, and it STILL wouldn't fit. I finally gave up and installed the open carrier so I could get my car back on the road. There is something different about them, for sure, although I still have mine. I don't think machining a spacer is going to work...

Personally, I'm going to try to keep my Mopar powered by Mopar components, but to each his own. There are a lot of nice Mopars out there with gm trans in them. I just feel like mine needs to stay in the family line. At any rate.. if you do some research on the A500, you'll find some companies...

my stepsister used to have bad migraines that would make her sick. The only way for her to get rid of them was to lay down and sleep for awhile, sometimes a few hours.. She wound up having neck surgery to clear out the drain passages from her skull, I guess. They said it wasn't draining right...

Here's a link to some good info that will get you started. I'm sure you could contact some of the people on there and find out the details. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5000586&Main=4997089

I know a few of them... General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard 67 Shelby Mustang GT500 from Gone in 60 Seconds 69 or was it 70 Mustang Mach 1 from the original Gone in 60 seconds. the Challenger from Vanishing Point The A-Team Van Batmobile Starsky and Hutch Torino Kitt 007's Aston...

I just went from 2.45s to 3.55s on my dart, and I don't think its enough gear. I'm running 205 60 14 all around. I think I could go 3.73 comfortably, but since I'm eventually going with an overdrive, I'll probably spring for 3.91s on the 8.75 rear I'm going to build sometime. I don't think...

well ya'll, between stuff happening, work picking back up to full time, and a 5 - 6 month old little girl, I haven't been able to work on the gears in my car much, but I finally got em finished tonight. Took er for a test drive and no whining, no funny noises or smells, so looks like I did...

as far as I can tell, you can use the magnum v6 or v8 harnesses interchangeably, with the exception of adding an additional wires to the v6 harness for the v8. The computers are supposed to hook to any of the aforementioned harnesses. The only problem you may have is getting the trans working...

I had to lift the car up 24" like the directions said, and get the engine up about 3 - 4 inches, which is easier said than done.. BTW, if you install these, take both monifolds or headers off, and put the driver's side back on first, then the pass - makes it much easier.

Well, it depends on whether you have manual or power steering. If power, only use the hedmans if you want them flat spotted again. I just recently put these on my car (PN 78050) and the first minor bump I hit, I flat spotted one tube, not too bad, but its there. Also, there's very little...

Where is a good place to buy a yoke like that? I just picked up a 741 with 2.94 open gears out of a 66 Belvedere.. needs some tlc, and a new yoke.. also had to hammer the brake drums off it, lol. will definitely need new wheel studs.

That shop is only maybe thirty minutes from me, but I almost never go up around there. Even without reading the article, I know that fire was fairly recent, because I remember one of my coworkers telling me about a superbird in a shop up there. Some goof probably tried to pull an insurance job...

Well my car is already not original, so I'm not too worried about that. I didn't even think there was an 8.75 to be had around here. I've been looking for over a year, I've even asked the junkyard where I found it.. I guess I just didn't ask the right question. I don't know if I'm going to have...

I think the numbers Pana listed for his were serial numbers. The part number should be on housing of the carrier, running from just under the ring gear to the first tapered shoulder. Mine says 0915 195. If there's another number under there, I can't see it. I might check again.. Thing is Pana...

SO.. here's the skinny... My Suregrip is wrong. Pana.Mopar is having the same problem. I'd like to figure out WHY it won't work, to be able to explain it to someone else. If the Sg units we both bought were actually for a Dodge Dakota 8.25, then why won't they work in our rearends? My Axles...
