Hhhmmm. A week gone by and evidently no one knows what I'm talking about? This IS the place to ask website questions, is it not?

Considering getting a new unit as opposed to drilling holes for a return line. I see quite a few options over pages of looking. Might just try a bulkhead fitting, too. Any recommendations for a known GOOD unit? 'Good' would include a sender that works with the OEM gauge, a float that might...

I started getting the above compiled list some months back. Never asked for it, it just showed up in my email. Now, it's gone. I kind'a got used to it and would like to have it back. A quick perusal of options/content and I didn't find such a thing. How to? Thanks.

100% and a big AMEN! It's a gorgeous car. How about some more pics...a general all-round and inside show? To the 'add this/check that' parts...why? 11" of vacuum is terrific! My 340 runs 5-6"...and the brakes work just fine (vacuum brakes), so what's to fuss with? If yours uses a quart of...

It's not just 'hot rod shops' and it (goobered work) isn't new, either. One of my engines, a local NHRA-holding machine shop that did the machine work ordered a set of custom pistons. Come assembly time and checking clearances, the head was pushed 1/2" off the deck with one of those 'custom'...

I put a dual quad on my car when it had a '73 340 (low comp smog motor) in it. Used two out-of-the-box Carters, 650 AVSs IIRC. Progressive linkage. From sea-level to 4000' el. never had a problem starting or running. Got over 20mpg on the highway. Drove it cross country at least once. Had...

Thanks for the input(s).

Re: 1969 DODGE DART Edelbrock 75763 Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap Intake Manifolds | Summit Racing It seems the Chevy versions of this manifold have a notch cut in the L/R divider wall...the Mopar versions do not. Is there a reason for that? Seems hard to believe that gap does something in...

I owned a '66 Dart GT with an HP 273/4-speed. I got rid of it 'cuz I could not find any nice wheels to fit the 4-bolt 13" setup. I owned a '68 Dodge Charger 440HP R/T 833 car. It was gorgeous. I traded it for a Chevelle with a 396 'cuz it was well known that to build a hot-rod, you HAD to...

I read the thread...but maybe missed it. I see no mention of the wattage spec of the bulbs used. You have to know that. That style of bulb comes in at least 18W, 12W, 3.7W and 2.7W. THOSE figures are dependent on the voltage listed...which varies from 12.8-14V. The color (K number) will...

I ordered a high-bucket cover set from Legendary a couple years back. LONG wait. I didn't notice until they were installed that the welt in the backside of the upper cover was crooked. No, not installed crooked, but sewn in crooked. Very disappointing for the kilo+ bucks paid (with...

I'm impressed. Starting from 'Help, what's the problem?' to finding the problem, to resolving the problem...and that included engine removal, a head set AND cam replacement...all in one thread in a few days. Not saying it's never happened, just that it's unusual. I'm sure someone like...

...replacements for the (OEM) chrome-plated plastic bits that fit on the end of the temp selection/control levers. OEM is OK but not critical. I do see aftermarket pieces available...for $20 each and +$10 shipping. That's a bit much. IF OEM, preferably with the 'chrome' NOT flaking...

Whoa. A Jeep that you can order with a Hellcat? Clearly, I haven't kept up with 'stuff'. Thanks for the input!!

Went to the local track last night. It was mostly test-n-tune, street legal stuff... A '65 Mustang. Didn't make enough noise to even HEAR. Hit 2nd gear hard enough to move the car MORE than his line launch. Ran within thousandths of a perfect light AND within thousands of his dial-in...

I've not done it that I know of, but I've read that there is room for TWO rollers in the cavity of the input shaft...that two of them can sit there after being displaced and you won't know it from anything you can see. The 1000 miles a year was meant to be taken in the extreme. More likely...

A hypothetical: Suppose, while placing the 833 mainshaft into the input gear, a roller is displaced. What's a guess as to how long it would take to feel/know/find out that happened? I had my 833 apart 30 years ago and maybe made that error. The car is rarely driven..and rarely in this...

Thanks. Although...being a exspurt, I don't need luck. I HAVE had an 833 apart before, and even put it back together! ...once. ;)

No bueno. Noise was MUCH reduced, but a good-n-hot ride later brought it noticeably back. It's (trans) gotta come out. Thanks to all for input. I do understand it was starry-eyed wishin' that a fluid change would 'fix' anything, but I was hopeful. ...don't like that word. It might make...

Update: New lube in the tranny. If I hadn't heard it before to have an idea what to listen FOR, I wouldn't hear anything now. The way it is now would never have caught my attention. I was figuring it would shift a whole lot different going from ATF to 90W gear oil. Not so much...

Yes. Everything there is snug...complete with proper spring clips on the shifter rod ends. This noise is not of an external nature. There is a 'depth' to the noise. It seems to be coming from inside the trans. I did recently replace the OEM crossmember mount with a poly-bushed version...

Understood and agreed. That's what bothers me most about the matter...that it's maybe engine based not transmission based. I have spent time looking for the problem from an engine perspective, mostly spark; wires, rotor, cap, boots and such. I have not found anything wrong to date...but I am...

TO bearing does not touch the plate fingers when running, clutch pedal not pressed. When the noise is going on...the TO bearing is not moving. A Hurst T-handle with a Line-Loc button. I hope to not be so lucky with my noises. This occurred to me: Some years back I knew a guy that put a...

Thank you. I picked up a 26-spline 833 years ago as a spare, did not realize at the time it WAS a 26, did not know back then there was such a thing. I am considering using it as a stand-in for the 833 I am currently using...as it might have some problems of its own and might be taken out...

An education, please, on the history and reason for the two different spline configurations for the 833? Was it the introduction of the 340 that brought about the 30 spline shaft? I presume the 30 spline shaft is larger in diameter than the 26? Will the 26 spline live with a 340 OK? My...

It does occur to me that I'm worried about no big deal. Is it noisy? Certainly. Is it a problem? Maybe not? I don't generally sit IN the car with it idling. That I think it's a brand new noise could be incorrect on my part. Sounds like trouble to me. Reading about noises the 833 makes...

That's good to know. Thanks.

Thanks! It's been awhile since I looked inside. I remembered (which I do poorly) that there was room to leave the cluster in. That makes it all the more complicated: Both the front bearing replacement, AND the remembery. Having never taken an 833 completely apart (I replaced a broken 2nd...

Dexron isn't 'made for' stick transmissions. The folks selling the New Process gearboxes in their cars (Mopar) say it is suitable for use in those gearboxes. No argument is being made that Dexron is The Best oil for the job, but it cannot be argued that it is NOT suitable for use...

Clutch is a McLeod B&B/Long combo, an 11"/10.5" plate/disc combo. Call it a 10.95" plate if that suits. Fluid is Dexron. Before you guffaw, hoot, and deride, keep in mind that Ma Mopar says Dexron is fine for cold weather use. I wouldn't race with it, but that's not how I use the car these...
