I'm wondering if he's talking one for an automatic transmission

I have a two-post switch. Actually, I have two of said two post switches, and if I understand correctly, one of which is the new style and one of which is the old style. The new style has the "jam nut" style short hex ring, with only the switch prongs exposed through the plastic portion...

No, I mean weld a little dot on the back of the reverse lever arm itself, not the switch ball. Believe me, Brewer's was the first call I made, but they were as baffled by the whole thing as I am.

Wow, I have been away from this website for a long time! I am deep into the process of a meticulous teardown, cleaning, and rebuild of the iron case 833OD that I swapped into my Valiant two summers ago. I just started reassembling the transmission yesterday evening. After installing the entire...

A nice set was delivered to my house a couple days ago. Thanks, barracudakid!

I'm looking for a pair of e-brake levers and spreader struts for a complete new 10" x 2.5" rear drum brake system I am putting together for an 8.75 rear swap, and I can't seem to find anyone that manufactures these. Does anyone have these? I've seen some threads about racers removing them, so...

You forgot to mention anything about checking the air system! :toothy10: In all seriousness, though, you gave great advice. No sense in throwing parts at it. Too often that happens and it turns into a wallet killer!

Well if your daughter made homecoming court, my 19-year-old self shamelessly declares that :worthles: :snakeman: Congratulations to her, though. And just wear something that won't embarrass her too badly!

As long as you have an extra set of rear wheels laying around for replacement after every run he does! :snakeman:

Speed Stick supposedly makes an antiperspirant that eliminates the yellowing of shirts. Otherwise, wear an undershirt so that it [ideally] bears the brunt of the sweat.

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet, Leanna, but...dibs on the first leftover piece!

Did you go 10 x 1.75 or 10 x 2.5 on your drums? Thanks for the quick reply, too.

Okay, I couldn't really find a good singular source of information on this subject, so I decided to start a new thread. I've got an a-body 8.75 rear with big bolt pattern axles, 10" backing plates, and I need to assemble a complete rear brake system before swapping this axle in place of my...

A-Body 8.75s all came factory with sbp.

Yikes, man. I have a feeling that most people on this site share a generally agreeable view on guns. If that turns out not to be the case, though, I hope you don't find yourself sore for the next few days from opening such a huge *** can of worms! :snakeman::toothy10:

Don't waste your time with these "solutions"! You had a lot of good bolt holes left on that bell...shoulda just rotated the tranny 90 degrees and bolted 'er back up! :toothy10: All kidding aside, though, you were very lucky. Good to see a car back in business.

Granted, sabotage is hardly ever done with a clear frame of mind, but it seems kind of hard to believe that somebody would sabotage the motor with a material that would be so distinctive and recognizable upon engine tear-down. The only thing I didn't see you mention was the condition of the cam...

I'm not gonna hold onto his comment or anything...it just got frustrating to keep coming back to this thread and finding endless reminders suggesting the alternator as the culprit. In the case of StrokerScamp's comment, it's just tough to make the call on someone's intended tone via typed words...

Well, all jokes and sarcasm aside, your asinine comment tells me you apparently overlooked my other notable comment about the alternator. I did spin it by hand while I had the belts off, and while it isn't the same as the mechanical load provided by the belt from the crankshaft, I found no...

Pending a picture of the RCI overflow bottle I'm interested. PM sent.

Wow, this is in my neck of the woods. Scary stuff! But like like Mopardude said, a house is replaceable. Despite the frustration of losing all the renovation work, etc., what's most important are the memories made there. Hoping for the best for your family; best of luck to them in such a trying...

Chas-I forgot to mention that I did start the car with the belts off. I didn't hear the noise, but I'm not entirely surprised since it is intermittent. While I did have the belts off, though, I hand spun the alternator and found no play in the bearing. Same as the alternator, Lawrence, I found...

Well, I took the belts off and spun the alternator. There wasn't any perceivable play in the pulley, so I'm still thinking that's good. Were there any markings on the dipstick to indicate this? I'm not really sure what to make of that possibility since my dipstick looks good. I'm running an...

The noise doesn't seem to be RPM-based to my memory. As far as bolts go, I'll check the tightness on all the pulley, fan, etc. bolts tomorrow. Oil level is good, too. I've run it a little low from burning oil before, so I keep better track nowadays. I have a mechanic's stethoscope and I've...

My car makes this noise intermittently on start-up, and I'm not exactly sure what to make of it. Timing chain? Ideas welcomed. Motor is stock with 66k miles on it. I just uploaded the video to YouTube, so it might not be visible yet. Be patient with me 8) YouTube- Slant Six (/6) Mystery Engine...

memike-To "bag it" is just another term for putting air (bag) suspension in the car!

Welcome from Minnesota. For exact figure totals on your style Dart, you might want to check out the info on dusterdartsportregistry.com. It looks like they have a little section on paint info which might be relevant to your car.

I've been trying to chase down a slow leak in my 833 since I swapped it into my car earlier this summer. After lots of searching and many small gear oil puddles later, I've all but concluded that my reverse light switch in the back of the tranny is the leaking culprit. Has anyone ever dealt with...
