    Starting my Early-A Conversion to disc

    By Saturday afternoon, I had the mechanical part of the conversion done. Wish I had another of the old style disc pad hardware. At some point will find one and have both sides. Nothing wrong with the newer hardware. To me they just look cleaner. Starting on the running the lines this...

    64 Dart Gt 4 speed won’t shift into gear ??

    So the clutch is releasing when a friend steps on the clutch pedal? If the clutch fork isn't square on the throw out bearing have you pulled it out and reinstalled it to try to square it up? How does the pivot bracket it slips into look?

    Where Are All The Pre 2010 Members

    I joined in 2007 when I figured out when looking for a body stuff this was the place. My Moparts membership went away from non-use after that. Been a few years off and on when life gets busy but always come back to stir things up and figure out problems or help some solve them, or find that...

    64 Dart Gt 4 speed won’t shift into gear ??

    Does this mean the fork is going forward and the pressure plate is releasing the clutch between the pressure plate and the flywheel? Did you see a gap or able to move the disc?

    64 Dart Gt 4 speed won’t shift into gear ??

    All caps is yelling. Not sure why you think it isnt. If there weren't issues on install I still have doubts that the pilot is too tight. If it is, it's a conclusiom to reach by order of elimination to get to that conclusion. Not assume it's all bad and pull the Trans to check. This was my...

    64 Dart Gt 4 speed won’t shift into gear ??

    Not sure what you are yelling about. He still hasn't confirmed that whether the clutch is releasing. I would rather confirm I had to tear it all apart before doing so, wouldn't you?? When you stab a crank with a transmission most know if it's in or not. And whether you are forcing the pilot...

    Not sure whats going on there, may need to pull out the fork check the pivot spring on the fork for any play and movement and check out the pivot bracket and make sure it isnt cracked doesnt flex and reinstall clutch fork. When someone pushes the clutch pedal with everything adjusted the...

    64 Dart Gt 4 speed won’t shift into gear ??

    Sounds odd. Both retaining springs on the bearing should be clipped to the clutch fork and the fork's pivot spring in the hole for the pivot. Adding the clutch linkage spring should not effect the contact of the fork to the bearing.

    64 Dart Gt 4 speed won’t shift into gear ??

    If the engine starts up without a gear being engaged and doesnt move and the pilot shaft doesn't howl, i have doubts it is your pilot bushing if you installed a new one. Could be, but not probable. Linkage or fork could also be the culprit. 10 or so years ago I had a not obviously cracked...

Since my surgery on my hand a month and a half ago, I Came to the conclusion that no matter how hard I want to try, I cannot use the brass drift to drive thr races out and drive new ones in. So on Friday I dropped the hubs, rotors, bearings, and studs...

    [Found!] 65-72 Disc brake backing plate /dust shield

    The one I have will work, if I trim the rust and swap sides to move the trimmed side to the top. I'd like to go with a better one if I can find it. Pm me if you have one you can let go of.

    [Found!] 65-72 2 - caliper mounting bolts.

    Looking for the shouldered caliper mounting bolts for my KH disc conversion. I have some new ones without the long shoulder, but would prefer to find the original styled 7/16 fine shoulder'd bolts. PM me if you have a pair you'd be willing to part with.

    My '65 Formula S Data Sheet

    Mileage on my 65 dart 4bbl 273 4spd with 293 gears was 23-25 consistently for many, many years before the rebuild (1975-2004). Even after the rebuild with a slightly larger lift /duration cam with 323s in an 8-3/4 it gets 18-20 mpg. Premium 91 octane. 318 would be a bit different from a stock...

    Starting my Early-A Conversion to disc

    Thank You @CFD244 !!! I double checked the bolt head size and they are in fact different. 13/16 on the donors and 3/4 on the car. Rather than machining the holes larger, I will replace the ball joints with new correct ones for a '66 with KH Disc's. The donors look beefier than what is on...
