Thanks. I checked out Transtar and they do have a plate made by Sonnax #S22747B. I'll have to see if it will work for me.

I'm going through a stock 727 valve body and found some corrosion. The aluminum cleaned up nice but the separator plate has some pits and etching after rust removal, I'm thinking that it's going to leak over to other passages. The shuttle valve was also stuck, but that cleaned up nice as well...

I could be wrong, but by looking at the picture of your instructions they seem to be the big block spool replacement mounts for a stock big block spool type K-member. These weren't made to work on a small block spool type K-member unless the DC modification was done.

Old school build with the CH4B and those beefy adjustable rocker arms (the newer ones were slimmed down a bit). There's a set of TRW forged pistons in there for sure. :)

Forget the hone, Scotch-Brite worked perfect.

What grit stones should I use to hone/touch up the servo bores?

Thanks! My FSM has a section that says: (2) .....position strut into lower control arm and tighten nut to 110 foot-pounds. (3) Position control arm shaft and strut assembly into the cross member. Install strut front bushing, sleeve, and retainer. Tighten nut finger tight only. I figured that I...

Yup, that's what I'll do. I have to rebuild the trans first.

I've installed all new front suspension components and need to know if the strut rods are supposed to be tightened before or after setting the ride height. I have the pivot shafts and strut rods loose at the moment with about 5 turns of preload on the T-bars. Thanks.

158 = 3.36 watts. 194 = 3.8 watts. 168 = 4.9 watts. Higher watts = higher heat.

Going well so far. Started out by checking the housing to circuit board trace ground screws, not so good. Removed screws and gave traces the De-Oxit and Q-tip treatment until good continuity on the meter. Next the bulbs and holders. One broken holder, replaced with spare. I'll replace all of...

Thanks for the replies. Found this thread to be helpful too. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/bench-testing-a-gauge-cluster.379879/

Heavy duty pump gear set?

Does anyone have a preferred way to bench test the instrument cluster? 68 Dart, I'd like to start by checking the lights and illumination. What power source would be best?

Thanks, much appreciated.

Is there a release tool for the pin connectors on an MSD distributor harness? Thanks.

Yup. Bad information is worse than no information.

He's the guy that helped build the Valiant, and drove it on the Hot Rod Power Tour.

Heads up on the replacement fuel pump push rods: Some are made of soft material. A good OEM used one would be best.

I bought my first set of Craftsman tools back in the 70's. Whenever I need something I look for the vintage stuff now. If I recall the entire Craftsman line lost quality in the 90's. Don't laugh, but my "go to" #2 phillips is a orange and clear handled Stanley that I found on the side of a...

I found this picture over at FBBO. Is this what was used on the 68 A-body too?

Well I can relate to the Motocross. Fun while it lasts, but the body can take the abuse for only so long before you have to move on to something else anyway. Hot rodding is the next best thing! Best of luck on the project.

Anybody have a picture of a 68 Dart glove box latch striker? I need some idea of what I'm looking for. Thanks!

I used TXL on an engine run stand that I built a few years back. Not happy with the thin insulation at all. Question: is the GXL closer to the OEM insulation thickness?

Thanks so much for the information and great ideas! Genuinely appreciated. The red ammeter wire was pulled out leaving the terminal behind in the bulkhead. The insulation had been stripped back (taking bets on if there was a wire nut splice repair here). No sign of heat damage at all, and...

I have something labeled boat wire from another project, but the insulation seems thicker than the OEM. May have trouble with the terminal crimp? I've seen some M&H harnesses that use something different than found on the OEM too. :(

Lots of work! How did you convert your ballast resistor? I want to install a hidden MSD system.

Two harnesses. The problems found so far are corroded fuse clips and the red ammeter wire was pulled out of the terminal at the bulkhead on one harness. The other harness (an air conditioning harness) looks great except for some very rusty fuse clips. I don't think they're savable.

I'm about to make some repairs to a 68 Dart dash wiring harness. Found some great informational threads here on the proper type connectors, so I have ordered those. Question is what type of wiring is best for replicating the OEM dash harness? I have read some threads mentioning TXL, GXL, and...

My next converter will be from 501. Good reports, and seem like they actually appreciate the customer.
