    Gas pedal and floor bracket info

    Haven’t we all? I have new floorpans waiting to go in. I’ll probably make the new bracket when I install those pans in the next 1-5 years.

    Gas pedal and floor bracket info

    Just want to sort of close this loop—1/4” clevis pin fits great. I may fabricate a new floor mount, but that’s for another day.

    15 inch wheels on early A body pictures

    215 60 15 all around… I have the 73+ disc brake swap in the front and 8 1/4 in the back. I don’t love where the front wheels sit in the wheel well, but they were free. No complaints from me.

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)

    Transmission has been rebuilt for a while now. Just psyching myself up to do the swap. Decided to build a little transmission jack adapter thing for my jack. Maybe a distraction? Either way. Should help the process.

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)

    Mine has never functioned. It’s chewed through at least two speedometer cables. I just use a GPS speedometer. I’ll fix it some day. With the later a833 I used to have in there, the cables were cheaper. I don’t want to risk chewing up a $150 speedometer cable until I actually figure out what’s...

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)

    On a positive/fun note, I had a friend fabricate a speedometer plug for the 65 transmission. I couldn’t find a plug anywhere on the interweb. Came out pretty clean.

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)

    Quick update. Working on rebuilding a spare transmission to replace the one currently in the car. Having fun. Taking it slow. Will probably have the spare transmission back together this week. I’m thinking I’ll wait to put the new one in for when I do some front end work. May be a while, but...

    Floor Pan Replacement Planning (67 up pans in 65 Dart)

    Thanks, Rick. I’m sure I’ll shed some tears at some point.

    Floor Pan Replacement Planning (67 up pans in 65 Dart)

    Thanks @65 Dartman I agree that would be the route that makes the most sense. I’m not replacing today or tomorrow, so have time before I commit. Exact fit plans would be cleaner, quicker, and easier. I’m really trying to plan for time. I’m assuming I’ll probably take a couple hours in...

    Floor Pan Replacement Planning (67 up pans in 65 Dart)

    I badly need to patch floors in my 1965 dart. Came across a full set of 67+ Laysons a body floor pans for a good price. I know they aren’t an exact fit, and especially because I have the 4 speed hump, will likely need extra massaging. However, it should be a decent start—I’ll take it one step at...

    [SOLD] A833 Overdrive, Bellhousing, Driveshaft, and more

    Yeah, apologies if that was confusing. Transmission is great for the car. However, the stock small block bellhousing that I installed uses the 4.354” input bearing retainer. There are ways to make it work (like buying different input bearing retainer + machining bellhousing, or using a...

    A833 Rebuild Help

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’ve decided to try my hand at rebuilding an a833. I’m equipped with the Passon book, service manual, YouTube, etc. So far, not bad. Big question at the moment: Can you help me gauge what good/bad synchro teeth look like? So far, on the 3-4 set, i don’t...

    273 or 225?

    @tandart66 can you clarify what rebuild your 66 dart means? Are you doing a full restoration, or focusing on certain areas as issues present themselves? I replaced the 225 in my 65 dart with a 273 last year. After 4 years of collecting parts. Still didn’t drive much this year because of life...

    71 A230 into 65 Dart z bar/linkage

    When I went from slant 6/a833 to 273/a833, I had to get a different z bar and clutch fork. My slant 6 z bar had clearly been modified before. I’ll send a picture tonight, but my recollection was that it was wider than the 273 fork. With all this said, the A230 may be different. What’s the...

    Gas pedal and floor bracket info

    Thank you. It’s good to know there’s a clip there. I’m guessing I’ll use a clevis pin or similar in lieu of the clip.
