What's the current situation as far as options to connect a later lever operated 904 to an early cable style floor shifter? The kind with the disc handle sideways, not the kind with button on top of shifter. (pic of early shifter for reference, not actually mine) PO of my 65 Cuda got as far...

My 75 Dart with column shift 904 is stuck in Park. Never had a problem, but now the column shifter is really stuck. It feels like the way a steering lock will sometimes be stuck and you have to ease the tension off at the wheel to get it to disengage, but this isn't the wheel, it's the shifter...

I’ve been looking but don’t see any options for connecting a MOPAR engine to a T18 or T98 gearbox. Am I missing any? Otherwise seems like it’s a matter of reaming out a MOPAR bellhousing for the 4.684 input bearing cover, drilling mounting holes in the bell, and being ready to chop the input...

On a 64 Barracuda. An early 273 version? Or from something else?

I'm deciding which flywheel/clutch size to use for a couple of different swaps. Help me understand the working range of each of the mopar flywheel/clutch.bellhousing sizes - Please correct me if I'm wrong in any of the below: 60's-70's Mopar Clutches: ----------------------------- 9 1/4" -...

I'm installing a 440 in my 67 Barracuda. Do I need an 11" clutch or is the 10 1/2" adequate for street use? Will be a 440 w/mild street cam, HP manifolds, 3.23 gears. Street use, unlikely it will ever see the strip. Thanks -

After spending the morning with a parts manual and then an hour at the store counting bolts into a bag and then paying a premium price by the each, I begin to wish I just had a big stash of bolts on hand, since I've got several cars I'm going to be assembling from basket cases. Back when I...

Not trying to start a fight, and all respect to you owners of awesome modern mopar trucks. When I hear a modern Ram with a 360 take off at a traffic light, it doesn't have that awesome sound like even a mild 273 or 318 from back in the day. And the same goes for V8s by the other brands. Why...

Looking for a a pair of the plunger rear bumper mounts for a 74-76 Dart or Valiant. Not what most people want but they saved the car once so I'm sticking with them. Thanks!

I'm making plans to convert some of my parking to covered parking. I'm curious about what peoples' experience has been as far as what level of construction gives the best return. Sure, better is better, but how much better? I have a large fleet, so it's a matter of balancing quality with...

Looking for a trunk lid for a 75 Dart, I -believe- that a 73-76 Dart or Valiant will interchange Long shot, but I'd love to find an original factory silver panel to match the car so I don't have to match silver repaint. Thanks, Paul

I've started a group on FB for A-body convertibles, you're welcome to join us there. As always we recommend the FABO forums as the best source for info and hope to direct people here with the group as well. Ever since I've gotten way more pictures of nice A-body verts in my feed, and thats an...

Rolling toolboxes with drawers are great in the shop, but a lot of my wrenching is done away from the shop, outside in a parking lot nearby. I've tried a couple approaches - carrying out only those tools I need for hte job (and making multiple trips back for things I didn't know I needed). I...

I'm working on a 65 Barracuda that had been someone's unfinished project car. They installed a strong 318 and 904, but of course it's a later 904 so it doesn't work with the 65's original cable operated console shifter. (and then you realize why the project never got finished). Questions: Can...

Anyone have a spare pair of A-body leaf springs willing to ship them? Ideally with mounts and shackles, non-HD is ok.

Looking for shift levers for an A833 4-speed, with or without shift rods

Looking for the piece that goes from the gunsight back along the top of the fender next to the hood.

Looking for a rear seat bottom for 63-66 Dart or Valiant convertible, ideally in driver condition but would consider any. Thanks, Paul

What determines the color a convertible top frame is painted? Top color? Or interior? I’m examining two, a black 63 Valiant with black frame And a black 64 Dart with white frame. Both have remnants of black tops. Could the white frame mean the 64 originally had a white top that got replaced?

Looking for center passenger side aluminum frame section, whole frame, or parts. Thanks!

I'm working on a 64 Dart convertible (see thread in Members' Restoration forum). 64 Dart Convertible rescue In the process of getting the top unstuck, I managed to break the frame on one side, the area around the hinge pin for the front section. One side loosened up, the other cracked and broke...

Every early A-body I can think of originally had the same color seats and dash. Are there any exceptions? Besides customs and swaps I mean.

Sometimes resto projects find you. I have several early A-bodies and wasn't really looking for more right now. But at the back of my mind, someday out there I'd like to find an original black 64 Dart convertible like my beloved 64 GT. And then this one appeared out of nowhere, and you guess...

Update: FOUND- thanks!

I just scored a good 360 junkyard motor for my 65 Barracuda and thinking about a cam swap before installation. I've read a lot of cam recommendation threads and for sure I see that there a zillion possibilities depending on what your combination is and how you want to use it. And granted, the...

New to me 63 Signet, my first convertible! A little rough but solid. Original 3-on-the-tree car, I've got a nice 318 and discs to make this a nice driving car. VIN: 143254xxxx Can anyone help decode this fender tag? A G JKL Y 1 1 566 2 A1 = 170? G1 - guessing these are the...

I notice that some 63 Valiants have a triangular badge on the grille, others don't. I had thought this was a Signet thing, but now I'm seeing Signets without it. Is it an early/late thing or a trim option or what? Anybody know? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2tPuxASteTs/maxresdefault.jpg...

I have a bunch of trim that came with different cars, which didn't turn out to fit that car or anything else I have. Is there any way to ID that stuff, or even tell what is mopar or not? Should I bother with it or throw that stuff out?

how much room.do I need to leave between radiator and fan blades? I'd like to run a fan clutch but not sure there's room. previous owner installed a 383 with elephant ears, and ran an electric fan, but id like to return it back to period stock style fan. This is in a 67 Dart. thanks!

Looking for front fender top trim - the pass side blinker 'gunsight' and the trim that goes behind it on both sides. (similar to the 65/66 but bent downward in front and has a dodge Tri-Star logo on blade. )
