    New Goodies

    Hello! Long time no see. I've been buried in school and work lately, and I still am! But I took a weekend to go to the Portland Swap Meet. I wasn't really needing anything, but you can't NOT go to a major swap meet. Turns out, I did need something! This is a 68 Barracuda dash. I've always...

    A904 Kickdown Lever on Trans not Moving

    Almost done with installing a fresh V8 A904 and we're on the middle of installing a Lokar kickdown cable. We hook up the cable, and we try to move the lever on the trans back. It wasn't moving, so we removed the cable and try to push the lever back. It won't : it stops hard when you should start...

    There was a Spacer in my 904...?

    Trying to get my V8 904 rebuilt here, first time. Thing have been going okay until I took apart the rear clutch. I have read everywhere that 904s don't have spacers.... But mine did! I can't remember if it came out before or after the Belleville spring. So from the Belleville spring to the...

    Other Hobbies that Take Our Money

    Hey all. As if the Mopar or classic car hobby wasn't expensive enough, some or even most enjoy another hobby that is either totally different or perhaps compliments or passion for cars. For me? It's both photography and vintage camera collecting. I buy and sell too, so it is slightly self...

    I just need to install power steering and fiddle with kickdown linkage for my first ever test drive. I looked at countless pictures to see how these brackets line up, and went to install.... And the crank and PS pulley are offset by maybe 1/8" of an inch?? Argh! Of course! 72 Dodge Dart...

    Got my TTI Exhaust, and ran into an issue with the muffler hangers provided . I did their seatbelt trick with their liberty bolts as I only had a single exhaust previously on my 72 Dart. The angle of the brackets is not correct : they angle up towards the floor, not straight down where they...

    The 'New' Champion 374

    Hey guys, I was reading an older thread of how the CC374 would fit just fine. Didn't realize it was an older thread, I went ahead and found one to purchase. By the by, I'm running a 360 with no A/C in a 72 Dart. But now, reading more into it, I have seen that the "newer" ones (as of 2015) are a...
