Hi All, I'm in search of slant six headers for an early a body. Looking for some short tube if any exist or maybe somebody has one-off a set. I plan to use them with an Offy/Clifford intake manifold. Looking to pay less than $350. Thanks!

Hi All, I have a '66 Dart with a '71 slant 225 installed. Ages ago I broke my dipstick and I finally want to replace it but have no idea where to source one. Does anyone know what will work? I've looked on eBay and there are very specific year/body auctions but nothing that seems to match my...

Hi All, I've been working on my turbo build for about a year and a half now and finally got some results today. Slant six + GT32 @ 16.5 psi = 440.6 lbft @ 3808 rpm and 330.7 Hp @ 4057 rpm Not too shabby. The reading was from a dynapack at the rear wheels so I'm guessing she's got around...

Hi All, I'm getting ready to tune my turbo slant six setup. I am using a MSD 6530 programmable ignition to control the timing, it will be setup with a 3-bar GM map sensor for boost pressure monitoring to retard the timing. My questions is should I used one of the lean burn distributors to...

We finally got my '66 dart over to my friends house so he could get busy on the metal work. He's putting together a really nice turbo kit for me. Here are some pics of the build so far. It needs a lot of welding still and some finishes but it's starting to look amazing. Here is the divided...

Hi All, I just had a 741 w/ a clutch type sure-grip rebuilt and now after maybe 200-miles it's making some interesting chattering noises when I turn at low speeds the until it's nice and warm. Sadly, I forget which type gear oil I put in it after the rebuild. I think it was Royal Purple -...

Hey All, I'm going to be running 6AN bradied stainless lines for feed and return. Anyone have a good tip on getting them through or around the front sub-frame? I didn't want to go under the sub-frame since this will be mostly a street car. I was thinking about putting a few holes in the...

Hey All, I'm looking to get rid of my factory '66 273 w/ a good 904. It could use some fresh seals and gaskets but runs great or you can just nab the forged crank. If you pull it out it's yours. Only parts I'm keeping are the distributor and coil. Let me know if you're interested.

Hey All, I've got a '66 GT that I'm looking to swap out the factory 273 with a 60-70's 225. I know you can convert the slant six k member to a small block but how does it work in the reverse order? So far, I've only planned on getting the slant six and matching 904 and a different radiator...

Hi All, I'm looking to replace my FSU, tank and tank straps in my '66 and I'm wondering if you can recommended where to get the best parts for the price. And do you all have any recommendations for coating the tank as well? From what I've seen most of them come bare steel and that's no...

Anyone suspect these would fit into an early a-body? They are verymuch like the Hedman "block huggers" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-Exhaust-Headers-Mopar-SB-318-340-360-Street-Rod-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2a0ec90826QQitemZ180636682278QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

I'm looking for a stock a body pinion snubber for the 8 3/4 differential. I'm willing to pay $35 shipped or trade for a MP pinion snubber. Your factory part must have a good bushing. I lowered my car 1" in the rear and the adjustable snubber won't fit between the differential and the body :P

I'm going to be installing a MP 90-adapter for my oil filter in the next few weeks. Just looking at the thing I had a question. Do you still use a stock oil filter p/n or a different one once the adapter is installed? Thanks.

Hi All, Anyone have a picture of a 273 with a 90-oil filter adapter installed? I'm having a friend build dual 2.25 exhaust from the exhaust manifolds back and he can fit it in there but the down pipe from the exhaust manfiold to the x-pipe is going to be very close to the oil filter. I...

I've read that the newer a-bodies can swap in 11/16 tie rods and sleeves from a C-body with no other modifications. Is this the case for early A bodies?

I'm placing an order today to freshen' up my fron suspension while I install my front discs. Are Moog ball joints worth the price? I need to replace the uppers. I'm using smaller ball joints since it's a non-modified KH 4-piston setup. Raybesto has service grade joint for $16 bucks and the...

Anyone have expericence with a nice ceramic or semi-metalic pad for KH calipers? I've used axxis and hawk in the past and been happy. I found that hawk and ebc make D11 pads for the KH but they start at over $100 - too much for me unless they are truely amazing. Power stop makes some for $40 but...

I installed an 8 3/4 recenty and I've finally got the car on the road with a 3.91 clutch type suregrip which was professionally inspected and I'm told it looked really clean and totally functional. The suregrip is working great going straight and on turns. The issue is that I'm getting a slight...

This picture would have been useful to me when installing my drums because I made the excellent choice of ripping them a part a few months ago and not taking a picture before hand. And the factory manual is still missing in action. Anyone have one have a factory manual for sale for a '66? Rear...

My factory drums were 10 x 1.75 and I plan to use the guts with new shoes but I'm using the backing plates from an 8 3/4 housing because they are OEM with 5-bolt holes to mate to the 8 3/4 housing I've installed. My question is will my 10 x 1.75 parts bolt up to this backing plate, it's...
