Neat topic, my body guy noticed a metal disc welded to the front of the k member on my 70 Bee, actually two, one welded over top of the other. He said the numbers on it decoded to 440 six pack. I went out to the garage to check another b-body 70 k member I have there, only one welded disc with...

Sorry to say, it's been like this since it was put back in the car. Pressure checks sound like the way to go.

Thanks fishy, the trans was freshened 2 years ago, new steels, frictions and seals. Nothing fancy, pretty much a stock rebuild. The shift lever was changed to 4.2, a bolt in sprag added and stage 2 shift kit installed. It's a 67', the trans, shop thought the valve body was not correct for the...

Car is 340/727 Dart. In drive, normal acceleration, shifts 1,2,3 by about 30mph, I think that's about right?? Aggressive acceleration (pedal to the floor) very sloppy, feels to me like slipping, till 3rd then pulls strongly. No way this thing will do a burn out! Slowing down, if I select 1st...

Is the suregrip unit clutch or cone?

Thanks for the info guys, I went with this http://bmracing.com/?wpsc-product=chrysler-holeshot-2400-for-chrysler-%E2%80%9967-%E2%80%9981-torqueflite-a-72

Got a line on a Dynamic 9.5 / 3800 stall, guy says it was behind a 400, not sure what car or engine build but he said it was "too much for his setup". I'd like to put this behind my 1969 340/727 in the Dart. My motor is pretty much a stock rebuild, XE268 cam, LD340, 750 Holley, car has 3:23's...

Hi All, anyone know where I can pick up a set of wheel cylinder rods? I'm doing a rear drum (10" a-body) build up with all new parts and I'm missing these small rods that connect the wheel cylinder with the shoes. I thought they'd come with the wheel cylinders but they didn't. Any help much...

Yup, small bolt pattern. I've since read that the 4 1/2" rims are for the 9" drum / slant six cars and the 5 1/2" came on the disc equipped, V8 powered, cars and are slightly different to accommodate the caliper.

Car is still in storage, I'll see what I can get this week and post.

:oops: Sorry about that, a little more info...........stock 14" steel rims, the car (72' Swinger) originally had 9" drums on the front. I've put on a stock KH disc set up, if I remember correctly, when I snug down the rims now they bind against the caliper, a spacer helps but that makes the...

I converted the 9" drums on the front of my 72' Swinger to a disc set up from a 70' Valiant. Do the rims need to be a different back space for the disc set up?? If so, what back space would I be looking for? Car is still in storage, just trying to get organized for the spring.

I'm thinking of shipping my Swinger down to Moncton from Southern Ontario for a couple weeks this July. Can anyone in Southern Ontario, or the East Coast, recommend a service that they've used that they we're happy with or let me know which ones to avoid and what kind of money I could be looking...

Sorry, not sure I understand what you mean :-s

Do 14" steel rims on a 9" drum brake setup use the same backspace as rims used on the KH brake setup? Both are SBP for a 72' Dart, thanks.
