Hey folks, I made an error in wheel selection that i guess i should have seen coming. Heres my story. I rebuilt my front end in my 73 swinger and did a disk brake swap at the same time (bfj body spindles). I didnt have any wheels with the big bolt pattern or much cash layin around so i decided...

Hello! One of these crossmembers came out of my 73 swinger /6 904 car, the other came out of a 73+ v8 swinger in a junk yard. Im putting a 318 and 727 in my car. Went to the local parts shop to get a new trans mount.. they gave me a funny looking round bushing that i dont understand :/...

Hey folks, Im trying to put my steering linkage together and it seems wonky. Based on the taper in the holes in the spindle/centerlink i cant imagine how else this would go. It just seems like too much angle going on here.. will this fix itself when i put the car on its own weight? P.S...

I should have read some of these posts before doing this. But.. Im rebuilding the suspension on my 73 Swinger. Unfortunately, my car ended up with a bunch of left over 72 parts. Bummer! Anyway, pulled it apart according to my chilton manual which forgot to mention marking the bars. Im having a...

Hey folks, Im still working on that rebuild on my 67 727. I am trying to install the b and m shift kit while im in here but i ran into an issue. The down shift assy part of the valve body wasnt there! Just an end plate. I wanted this to shift manually so theres a ball bearing im supposed to add...

Hello, Tearing into my 727 and the front pump gears have some rust. I have another pump, but it has the plastic bevel like the 74 and up style. Are the gears interchangeable? Thanks! Cameron

Hello folks, Im trying to tear down my 727 for a rebuild and ran into a major snag! I have removed the tailshaft housing and the snap ring behind the output shaft bearing, and i have moved the snap ring in front of the bearing forward. There is a ridge behind the rear snap ring that the bearing...

Hello folks, I am going to make tabs to weld on to my lower control arms for a sway bar, but I'd like to see what its supposed to look like first. Anyone have any pics? Thanks in advance! Cameron

Hello folks, I bought a carter afb for cheap and im trying to get some more info on it. Here is what i know: There is no part number on the mounting tab, and no steel tag. It says carter afb on the front driver side. It says made in usa on front pass side. It has a 4 5/8" air horn. The...

Hello, I just finished removing the trim around the front and back glass from my 73 swinger.. wow.. what a frigging job! My question is: what is holding the glass in?? I dont plan on using those god awful metal clips to put the trim back in.. they are too rusted out anyway. So, I want to make...

Ok, I had my pistons, rods, and crank balanced when I built this engine (quite a while ago, this is a project that I am coming back to) I get the feeling this is a stupid question, but here it goes. Since it was internally balanced, do I need a harmonic balancer? If so, wouldnt it need to...

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I am (like most of us I think) trying to save a buck. I was planning on a 650 eddy for this build, but I have (in parts) a holley 750 DP. The build is 318 w/ 360 heads. forged aluminum pistons that put it at right about 9.8 to 1. isky...

hello, This topic has probably been beaten to death here, but i cant seem to find a solid answer. I think there is some disagreement that I would like to sort out before I go shell out $140 tomorrow. Some people say the f/m/j body spindles work fine. Others say only the B body spindles are...

Hello, Is the the 8.25 rear end housing cast or forged?? Thanks, Cameron

hello, I am looking to put a headliner in my 73 swinger on the cheap. There are many auctions on ebay for vinyl that fits 67 to 72. My 73 has a cardboard headliner now, does that mean it doesnt have bows? Its this why these are not advertised to fit the 73? here is an example of one of those...

Hello, I am wondering if I can cut an inch or two off of the overall length of the axle if I go drums to the jeep cherokee disks on an 8.25" rear. Thanks! Cameron

Hello! This is my first post on this amazing forum :) I have a 73 dart swinger. I have a B body 8 1/4 rear end for it. I would like to put 15x8's on it. I am guessing that 5" backspacing will do the trick on the back. Will that work? Also, what backspacing will be appropriate for the...
