Wow thanks! Im so glad I asked!

What's the current situation as far as options to connect a later lever operated 904 to an early cable style floor shifter? The kind with the disc handle sideways, not the kind with button on top of shifter. (pic of early shifter for reference, not actually mine) PO of my 65 Cuda got as far...

Oh wow, Mopar made a documentary to explain it to me! Well, almost. It shows the interlock that requires the shofter to be in Park for the key to be turned. But no interlock preventing shifting out of Park, I'm not sure there was one? Cool training vid though

Wait - is it the ignition switch that releases the shifter out of park, or is it the brake? On later mopars its the brake.

The key turns smoothly and turns, the steering lock disengages smoothly. The key doesn't start the engine because of an unknown electrical fault as reported by the PO that the car would crank but only start in neutral. This has been the case and has functioned that way smoothly up till now...

Sounds like I should remove the key lock cylinder and approach it in there. Looks like pulling hte steering wheel is necessary to pull the ignition lock cylinder, or am I missing something? The back end of the shifter linkage is under the hood by the firewall, and appears to be fine, the...

My 75 Dart with column shift 904 is stuck in Park. Never had a problem, but now the column shifter is really stuck. It feels like the way a steering lock will sometimes be stuck and you have to ease the tension off at the wheel to get it to disengage, but this isn't the wheel, it's the shifter...

Sorry no, this isn't an A-body question and I apologize. This would be for a 68 m715 military Jeep that had a 232 swap at some point. I'd like to give it a V8 for working power, LS swaps are of course very popular but I'd rather go with a mopar engine if possible, but vintage mopar Jeep swaps...

I’ve been looking but don’t see any options for connecting a MOPAR engine to a T18 or T98 gearbox. Am I missing any? Otherwise seems like it’s a matter of reaming out a MOPAR bellhousing for the 4.684 input bearing cover, drilling mounting holes in the bell, and being ready to chop the input...

I need a set of tails, both sides. Sending message

Great history and info, thanks!

On a 64 Barracuda. An early 273 version? Or from something else?

You are quite right, my error, editing.

Great car! I have a 67 also. Here's some of the lay of the land as far as suspension and wheels. Your car like all pre-73 mopars has a small 4" 5x4 bolt circle which is a relatively rare size in wheels these days. Original stock options include steel wheels with full covers or dog dishes, as...

oh cool, good to know! Maybe a good way of running a 10.5" flywheel on a 440, with an upgraded aftermarket clutch.
