For about the last 15 years of my "career" I drove $1000 Dusters to work, anywhere from 120 miles round trip to just 40 or so. (OK so that same old Duster would cost $2000-3000 today where I live. Yea that was back in the 90s, 2000s. I'd get the car running and with safe brakes, clean the gas...

If you can get a 5.125 retainer to bolt to your A833 4 speed and fix that issue, then it is a matter of correct shifter linkage for that shorter trans and cutting the DS down shorter. IF the A833 will bolt up to that OD bell!!! This is almost as bad as working on a Ford where they changed parts...

Bearing retainer is what I was trying to say! the 833 OD has a larger bearing retainer the the regular A833.

Seems like you trans is out of an F body or pickup. A short tail shaft A833 is correct for the Dart. Yep like you know, shorter than that OD trans, thus tail shaft issue. Question? Is the bolt pattern on the OD bell the same as needed for the A833 trans? Check!! Also check the input shaft...

Take a deep breathe. What engine is in the 66 Dart?

I apologize... her name is Vixen, NOT Gladys!!!!:BangHead: :thumbsup:

Your neighbors ran out of beer money and stole some slant parts for a quick and easy buck!!!! Good thing they did not get the rest of Gladys!!!! :BangHead: :poke: :poke:

I know. Selling o :thumbsup: :poke: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :steering: :confederateflag: ff slant parts to pay for that 360 engine swap!!????/ /////

For sure...now RRR and the little woman will get to the cafe for lunch quicker now!!!! Actually.... good size sway bars really make a difference. Years ago I bought my first BB A body, a 67 Cuda 383 4 speed, The PO had installed a big front aftermarket sway bar, it took corners almost...

Once a guy told me I was a flipper, since in the last 50 odd years many old Mopars have passed thru my hands.....I replied I guess I could be called that, but I have dragged many an old car out of the dirt and saved it for someone. If I made a $ it went in to save another. Once a guy called me...

^^^ Good deal!!!! Its called gettin it done best ya can with what ya have!!! BUT... don't let that group of guys call you a hacker or worse! I always wonder about that group of guys....... Are they just so talented and skilled? do they have enough $$$ to have all the best...

I have never bothered to watch any of UT UTube stuff.......... since everyone says its a waste of time...why do anyone watch??

Ole UT leaves himself wide open for criticism, discussion, ridicule...maybe that has always been his plan? I admit I have never been a UTube guy, but I believe Tony started it all with maybe trying to tell young guys they can build old cars that run without high $ parts. Maybe RoadKill gave...

Over the years...I have referred to UT as FABO's "kickdog" as stale humor. Actually he is someone that people love to spend time hating, but like the guy said, "bad publicity is even good publicity!" It pays the bills!

^^^ Thats how I have done it many times. I always wanted one of those little stretcher/shrinker tools!!!! I learned decades ago, IF I did a (rare?) car back to perfect, I was worried about driving it and getting a scratch or gravel peck... and I knew it would have to be sold to make way for...

I agree! OUCH!!!!

And my I add this. So many times LESS is BETTER! Another way to say it, is LESS is actually MORE!!! Not everyone has the desire or ability to own a 71 Cuda or 69 Charger, or 68 Roadrunner and so the models that were born with less become the objects of our affection and desires. If we...

If you all think Valiants get no love, look at my 62 Lancer 170!!! :thumbsup: Or even my old 62 Dart (B body) Or my 75 ANC 258 Hornet!

All my headliners are epoxy primer, urethane primer, and bedliner!!!!!! I hate doing headliners and who can afford to pay a guy!??? OK so I will say it again... I am NOT a fancy guy!!!

Good luck with that! Cool ride if sound. I can't remember, someone here can I bet, the 4 speed slant bell was an early piece, I forget wha tyears but maybe two?? I guess it cold have a combo behind any model?? Just remember, rare and $$$ does not always have a bearing.

Here in Texas, armadillo poop is deadly!!

agree...yet people still think they want one!!!

Fab your pans, you are not building a hemi Cuda. You can easily make the reinforcing ribs. It ain't hard with a hammer and basic tools. Check out UTube vids. Keep that 273 you might want it someday.

panhandleautofastener.com my go to guy for clips. Try him

Mo is fast . Ks stinks!!

Might I add...a perfect example of how less can be so much MORE!!!! The art of the automotive designer, the fact that these simple cars offers so much style, simplicity to function, plus just not the cookie cutter old builds. Just part of why FABO is so popular!

Cool ride!!!

My understanding is they are factory spot welded also. I would put one small screw in there to be SURE!!

I respectfully offer the OP an invitation to join in our N & P section!!
