    speedometer worm gear ratio question

    Does anyone know the ratio of the worm gear on a TF727/A833 output shaft? I want to know how to calculate the rpm of the speedometer cable - how do you do that exactly? Let's assume you have a 32 tooth speedometer pinion gear in your transmission - how many revolutions of the output shafts are...

    Need a measurement (ATI damper --> 440 block)

    I need the precise distance between the block (440) and the face of a 3 ring ATI Super Damper. Part numbers will be either 917122E (steel) or 917474E (aluminum). Block reference should be timing cover/water pump housing attachment face. Here is a pic (not mine) - is the forward looking oil pump...

    Piecing together an A/C system

    I now almost feel comfortable to tackle this project on my own! Did I forget anything? Btw. Is there an advantage for using hard lines where possible (despite having more connections)?

    Piecing together an A/C system

    This is for my 70 Charger so more space ;) are there any "special" tricks etc. that sets apart a great system from a regular system? E.g. in regards to maintenance, durability, performance? would it make sense to have low and high pressure ports?

    Piecing together an A/C system

    The Frigoclic actually have two types of fittings: the "field repair" oeticker clamps and the crimper type (which I want to use - the local hydraulic supply store should be able to crimp them for me). As far as I understand their barrier hoses are all reduced diameter. Any suggestions for a...

    Piecing together an A/C system

    Thanks Bill, great information! There is a local company that specializes in all sorts of A/C systems not just cars (I try to avoid automotive A/C shops as most technicians there only have a very basic knowledge of A/C systems) but I haven't been able to get ahold of them since they are so busy...

    Piecing together an A/C system

    The condenser I plan to use is roughly the same size as the one in the Vintage Air kit (26×18) so I guess I'll be fine. Will use a TXV as well.

    Piecing together an A/C system

    Posted this on FBBO before but didn't get any answers besides get a kit from Vintage Air but this is not what I want for two reasons: a) cost - I live in Europe an shipping, taxes, customs add 8 to 900 dollars on top so I'll try to source parts locally. b) I want to be able to get replacement...

    Any members from Albuquerque, NM?

    Well, easy accessible? Yes (car has wheels already removed). Easy? if you have PB blaster then probably too - without, no (you need to remove the leaf spring U bolts). This is how it looks like (not the car in question but similar) - the black bracket between the axle and the leaf springs):

    The rear sway bar brackets from a Mopar that had a factory rear bar. I took the bar of myself but didn't have time to take the rest (had to go to the airport and catch my flight).
