Update: I received word from Pat Blais, ol' "Tflitepatty" himself, that there is a channel between the steel sealing rings in the rear clutch retainer. You can see the difference in the OD of the input shaft where the hole is above the splines and the ID of the clutch retainer where those holes...

Press fit and a wire retainer, yes. Transmission Torque Converter - Mopar Muscle Magazine

Hey everyone, I'm working on a 1963 pushbutton 727 and swapping the input shaft and reaction shaft support to use a 24-spline torque converter. I have pressed out both input shafts from the rear clutch retainers, but didn't pay attention to the orientation of the oil feed holes. Should these be...

I sold my A-body last March, but I keep coming back to the site for updates on this thread. Go man, Go!

Just go on eBay and contact Pat Blais and he can get it for you. tflite_patty on eBay

My local ACE Hardware had the bolts, but it was like $50 for them since they are large and Grade 8.

I've got a set from a '64 Dart in Fort Worth, Tx

I bought a Champion Radiator off ebay for my '64 /6 and it went in with no issues at all. I don't drive my Dart a whole lot, but the radiator cools just fine and all the welds looked good to me.

If anyone has Motortrend On Demand, these episodes are available on there along with the Desert Car Kings. I keep it for Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, and Hot Rod Garage, but there's a bunch of shows on there for $5-6/month.

Location: Fort Worth, TX 76137 Price: $80 for all Description: Pulled these from my '64 Dart after swapping to BBP front and rear. 4 of the wheels have 175-70-13 tires with the nubs still on them (really good tread depth left) but show some sidewall cracking (see pics) the fifth one is the...

Just wrapped up some upgrades: Big bolt pattern 7-1/4" rear with new brakes New '73-up disc brake swap All new KYB shocks Dual master cylinder upgrade All new brake lines Swapped /6 torsion bars for 340 bars New Torque Thrust Ds and 205-60-15 tires Finally got the 904 sealed up to stop the leaks

Were they chrome originally? I have a '64 Dart and mine is plain rubber. I'd almost prefer it to be just plain since there's all of the other stainless/chrome around the windshield on a convertible.

eBay has a lot of trim for the '64s on there now, but it's expensive. The hood latch is outside under the front of the hood in the middle, that's the way it was in '64 for all Mopars. You may want to post any 1964-specific questions under the "Early A body" forum since that's where us early A...

My pushbutton 904 transmission (1964 Dodge Dart vert, /6, 904, 7.25) has some leaks that I am working on tracking down. One really bad leak is coming from the bolt going into the rear of the transmission above the park cable housing. I tried to turn this bolt to tighten it, but it just spins...

1) Yes, it is possible to do this from under the car with the engine and trans in the car still. Just need some jack stands to get under there. 2) No, nothing will shoot across the garage. I couldn't get my cable out of the housing when I was trying to fix a leak around the park cable housing...

Could someone please send me a picture of the transmission cooler line routing for their slant six? I bought the lines to replace an auxiliary cooler that one of the prior owners put on. Right now, I just have stub hard lines coming out of the trans to rubber lines that go forward to the trans...

RRR, I keep coming back every week or so to check in. You're making good progress!

I've got a GT convertible /6 auto car, but the hood seems to be a 270 hood (may have been swapped at some point when the car was repainted). Did all GTs get the big gaudy trim on the hood?

I ended up getting a straight screwdriver in behind the ferrule on the cable and pried out enough to open the "fingers" holding the cable. On the reverse, a pair of pliers bent those fingers back into place when I was done switching out the shift buttons.

I'm keeping the slant six and 904, just want to update the rest to make it better for driving in traffic.

I scored a '73 7-1/4" rear axle off Craigslist last week. It came from a disc brake, 318 automatic car, so it has the 10" backing plates. $50. CTC Auto Ranch north of Dallas/Fort Worth wanted $450 for a big bolt pattern rear axle (not sure if that was 7-1/4" or 8-1/4"), so I think this was a...

RockAuto is a good way to go with the discount, their prices are cheaper for Metro parts than I've seen anywhere else. Thanks to FABO for pointing that out to me.

The seat frame is the right width, but it seems like it's too deep. I had the seat out last night putting some rear seat belts in for the kids. I still couldn't get the seat all the way back far enough to get it to latch on those hooks welded to the floor pan. I even tried a nailbar to try and...

Would someone please share a picture of their Dart/Valiant lower back seat with me? I have a newly purchased 1964 Dart convertible, but the back seat bottom appears to be about an inch away from the hooks in the floor. When I reach in between the seat back and bottom, I can feel that the seat...

I ended up getting a 1964 Dart GT convertible with a slant six and push button auto (904?). The body is pretty solid and it looks like it was partially restored a few years ago.

Thank you to the members of FABO for your help. I decided to pass on purchasing this particular Dart, but I'm keeping my eyes open. Thanks again!

Yes, that piece is missing. Is there also one on the door glass at the rear of the window?

I can’t seem to find that this trim is being reproduced. On the car that I am considering buying, the trim is missing from the door and quarter windows on the passenger side, so there is an open gap about 3/4” wide between the two pieces of glass. Can anyone tell me what years/models will...

I'm looking at a '68 Dart, so I believe it has the small bolt pattern and a 7-1/4" rear even though it has a 318-2bbl. I assume it's a 904 transmission as well. It's just a little different than I'm used to. :)

Hello. I'm a newb from Fort Worth, TX. I grew up in a Mopar house hearing lots of stories about my stepdad's Duster and Polara and his brother's AAR Cuda and the crazy times had with those cars. My first car was a 1964 Chrysler Newport back in 1996, so I love all Mopars and am most familiar with...
