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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I'm thinking about mounting a 2-gauge pod under my hood as a means of permanently offering manifold vacuum and fuel pressure stats. I'm thinking of getting Autometer Autogages because 1)That's what I have inside the car, and 2)They're easy on the wallet. I'm looking for feedback on the idea...

Guys, I'm hurtin' for a set of these pins. I didn't realize everybody had this one size of bellhousing dowel pins backordered until the end of the month. I need a pair, but the places I can find them want 40 bucks for 'em when you include shipping! :wack: If anybody has a set sitting around I'd...

Okay, I need to really look into this [obviously] before I put this transmission into my car in the next month or so. As the title of this thread states, I have an iron case 833OD and I am confused about its output shaft seal. Currently, the trans looks like this: The splines are exposed on...

I got this blower from the previous owner with the purchase of my car. Apparently it is a Paxton military surplus piece that he picked up, along with a blow-through Stromberg WW and a blower box, with the potential intentions of making a force-fed /6. The trouble is, I don't know any technical...

I'm looking for an a body shifter boot (non-console) and bezel for my four speed swap. I was ready to buy the package from PG Classic, but 16.00 shipping is insane for such a small order. Does anybody have either or both parts they'd be willing to sell me?

I had my front bench seat out today and when I pulled it I found a scrap of build sheet tucked between the seat springs and the padding--just as you would on a rear seat. The previous owner of my car pulled the perfect-condition sheet out of the rear seat before I bought the car, and this winter...

Okay, guys. I wasn't entirely sure what to do with this thread since it's really neither a restoration documentation nor a troubleshooting issue, but I figured I would go ahead and put it in the 4 speed forum. So my plan for this thread is to document my complete four speed conversion in my A...

I'm looking for all the dimensions on the bracket that plug welds to the frame rail on the driver's side to reinforce the ball stud pivot for the z-bar. I've got a piece of 1/4" steel plate and I'm looking to make my own bracket. Thus, I'm looking for a list of the dimensions of this little...

Hey guys- I'm trying to set the timing on my slant six, but I've found that my distributor hold-down plate maxes out my idle advance at only about 6 degrees. I can turn the distrib the OPPOSITE way and retard the crap out of it before the timing is restricted by the hold-down plate, so that's...

I'm looking to do a conversion to an 833OD conversion behind the Slant 6 in my 68 Valiant. The following is a list of parts I foresee needing in the course of this swap. The only three parts I have secured thus far are a bell housing, inspection shield, and clutch fork. Everything else is up in...

Hey all- I've been a member on here for a while, but I've been way too slow to put up pictures of the Valiant I bought in August. It's an original Y2 Yellow /6 Valiant. Currently I have a Super 6 setup on the car, but someday that'll be replaced by my neighbor's spare 340-4spd combo he has...
