Update: I received word from Pat Blais, ol' "Tflitepatty" himself, that there is a channel between the steel sealing rings in the rear clutch retainer. You can see the difference in the OD of the input shaft where the hole is above the splines and the ID of the clutch retainer where those holes...

Press fit and a wire retainer, yes. Transmission Torque Converter - Mopar Muscle Magazine

Hey everyone, I'm working on a 1963 pushbutton 727 and swapping the input shaft and reaction shaft support to use a 24-spline torque converter. I have pressed out both input shafts from the rear clutch retainers, but didn't pay attention to the orientation of the oil feed holes. Should these be...

I sold my A-body last March, but I keep coming back to the site for updates on this thread. Go man, Go!

Just go on eBay and contact Pat Blais and he can get it for you. tflite_patty on eBay

My local ACE Hardware had the bolts, but it was like $50 for them since they are large and Grade 8.

I've got a set from a '64 Dart in Fort Worth, Tx

I bought a Champion Radiator off ebay for my '64 /6 and it went in with no issues at all. I don't drive my Dart a whole lot, but the radiator cools just fine and all the welds looked good to me.

If anyone has Motortrend On Demand, these episodes are available on there along with the Desert Car Kings. I keep it for Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, and Hot Rod Garage, but there's a bunch of shows on there for $5-6/month.

Location: Fort Worth, TX 76137 Price: $80 for all Description: Pulled these from my '64 Dart after swapping to BBP front and rear. 4 of the wheels have 175-70-13 tires with the nubs still on them (really good tread depth left) but show some sidewall cracking (see pics) the fifth one is the...

Just wrapped up some upgrades: Big bolt pattern 7-1/4" rear with new brakes New '73-up disc brake swap All new KYB shocks Dual master cylinder upgrade All new brake lines Swapped /6 torsion bars for 340 bars New Torque Thrust Ds and 205-60-15 tires Finally got the 904 sealed up to stop the leaks

Were they chrome originally? I have a '64 Dart and mine is plain rubber. I'd almost prefer it to be just plain since there's all of the other stainless/chrome around the windshield on a convertible.

eBay has a lot of trim for the '64s on there now, but it's expensive. The hood latch is outside under the front of the hood in the middle, that's the way it was in '64 for all Mopars. You may want to post any 1964-specific questions under the "Early A body" forum since that's where us early A...

My pushbutton 904 transmission (1964 Dodge Dart vert, /6, 904, 7.25) has some leaks that I am working on tracking down. One really bad leak is coming from the bolt going into the rear of the transmission above the park cable housing. I tried to turn this bolt to tighten it, but it just spins...

1) Yes, it is possible to do this from under the car with the engine and trans in the car still. Just need some jack stands to get under there. 2) No, nothing will shoot across the garage. I couldn't get my cable out of the housing when I was trying to fix a leak around the park cable housing...
