My 66 Barracuda was born with a 273. When I got it there was a 360 in the engine bay. I wanted to go fast so I installed a 170 slant six :)

The pilot and splines, depend on the year of the engine/crank, and the year of the 904. I have several different converters for the 904. small pilot small spline small pilot big spline big pilot big spline The reason I say to contact a mfg is stock is "super competitive" and the weight of the...

If you are going to run in "stock eliminator" you are much better off getting a new converter built for your combo. That said, what style converter are you looking for? Small crank pilot or large, small spline or large?

If you don't need exact for a "restoration" any good AC shop should be able to make the hose, if you have the old metal ends. Possibly even if you don't have the ends.

What do you have for a radiator? I just did a engine reseal and clutch replacement on my 84 D-100 slant six. Had the same type of problem. Turned out replacing the radiator cured the problem. I had the radiator sitting out in my carport for a couple of months.

I'm on the Nitrous right at the start and the whole quarter mile. Car weight was 3250 lbs 170 Cid. 1.76 60 ft time and 368 ft/lbs torque at 2800 rpm. timing is fixed at 18* btdc.

See post #7 Nitrous is almost as hard on head gaskets as boost. I have been running N2O for the last several years. Approx 10-1 CR and 150-200 HP shot on a 170 CID slant. Stock OEM head gasket, and head bolts. I do put hardened washers under the bolts, and torque about 5-10 LBS over stock...

There are many brands of slant six gaskets (or at least there used to be). When I did my first turbo slant, I was having problems with detonation (unbeknownst to me) and blowing gaskets. So I opted to go with "O" rings and copper gaskets. Big mistake. The gaskets blowing were like a fuse...

As long as you have your tune-up right, and don't get into detonation, you should be able to run a stock steel gasket or a FelPro, at those boost levels.

Several years ago, I contacted Dana about the 7 1/4 clutch parts. I don't know if the person I talked too had any real knowledge of these parts. However I was told they have nothing that will fit. I even inquired about clutches that would have the correct spline count, but not the correct OD...

You also need to swap the manual valve in the valve body.

I think it would probably be ok. But if it were me I would keep looking for one while the machining work is being done, but if I couldn't find one, I would use it. Post a wanted ad on this site.

Very possible there will be no problem. Could be a situation of manufacturing tolerance. Maybe the difference between my old 273 and a newer LA engine. Just posting a previous hair pulling issue, based on (Very) old experience.

I don't recommend running those lifters with a cam that has a lot of lift. They are basically a stock small block/slant six solid lifter. What happens with a high lift cam the base circle of the cam is smaller that the factory base circle. So when the lifter is on the base circle the lifter can...

There is only one reason for the stud to be larger than 5/16. The rearmost upper stud seems to be the most prone to breakage. So that stud was broken sometime in the past, and someone just did a drill and retap to a larger size. It is really not a good idea to use a larger stud. The exhaust...

Matt I think the straps are available from the Dorman rack.

OK Then. You should be able to modify the headers to work with the PS. A 170 and PS I think would require major mods to the headers.

I forget is Vixen a 170 or a 225?

Unl Unless they have changed them (which I doubt) they don't fit an early "A" with power steering. I put a set on a 64 Valiant some years ago (I was converting from manual to power steering) and the front collector hits the steering box. You need to modify the front three tubes to raise the...

Your in box is full

Hell, you're the one that started belittling people not me

I have had several issues since Jack died and Larry took over the company.

You got a Az Toad would donate to my "A" body collection?

Damn, I forgot about that. Probably because I have never owned or worked on a 60-61 Valiant or Lancer.

I only payed $75 for the car, a couple of weeks prior. Hadn't done anything to it. The previous owner had many things "out of wack". Like I mentioned in my post the biggest thing was to get that Holley 1920 to open all the way. Oh, yeah also pumped the front tires up to about 40 lbs. I did stop...

Back in the 70's I took my wifes 65 Valiant to the track just for S&G'S. 4 dr sdn 170 engine 904 trans. 1st pass was 22.8. Did some tweeking at the track. Biggest thing was the throttle linkage adjustment (only opening about 2/3's) Loosened fan belt, removed PS belt, installed bigger jet in...

I think I will try doing a turbo on my 84 d-100. Just happen to have a complete turbo system from a 301 Pontiac V-8 Turbo TransAm. I spoke to a local turbo shop yesterday, and he can get me the parts I need to freshen up the turbo. It has a Q-jet in a draw thru configuration. PS: Maybe over the...

It is another "Mopar" website. Basically for dedicated slant six people. WWW.slantsix.org

The site is having problems. The site owner is working on it, but could use some help. If anyone is a programmer, and could assist it would be appreciated. Contact me in a message, and I will put you in contact with the site owner.

That is another viable alternator. Without checking the vehicle wiring diagram to make sure. I don't think it has a built in VR. I think that vehicle has the VR built into the computer. That alternator should be a direct replacement as far as wiring.
