A buddy of mine, has a big block, 1970 Dart Swinger. He has air shocks because he likes jacking it up 70s style then lowering back down to normal ride height. Asked me if using the air shocks messed with the pinon angle. I told him that I didn't think so, but said I'd get some other opinions...

Love to have a drive on hoist. My single car garage, is quite narrow. None, that I looked at, would fit in there.

Reason being is I'm 70 and will have to do this by myself. Jacking the rig up, removing shaft. Lowering rig. Crawl under, take measurements. Jack rig back up, reinstall shaft, then lower rig again. My 72 Swinger is pretty low. Needless to say, I'm a lazy old fart.

How would I read the angles of transmission and pinion with the driveshaft still in? Really don't want to drop the shaft. Thanks

Not causing a problem. Just thought I'd address it while I was setting the pinion angle. As noted. Shouldn't cause any problem As for the laser set-up. All I did was adapt a small round magnet, to the end of a laser pointer. Works great. Cost me 3.07+tax. I set it up on the pinion bolt and...

I guess I should have said that the laser point was about 1/4" to 3/8" off from the center of the pinion bolt.(to drivers side) The laser was set at center of transmission yoke. Laser was parallel . I was just eye balling the 1-2 degrees, at the laser. I'm asking the best solution for moving...

I don't know if that is the correct wording. Trying to set pinion angle on my 72 Swinger. Has 440, setting on an Altercation, 727, new balanced Al driveshaft, 8 3/4". I noticed, while I had the car in the air, that the tranny, looked like it was pointing a bit to the drivers side, in...

OK. It's the low/reverse one. About the o-ring. Can I just pick one up at the hardware or do I have to buy a kit from an auto store? Thanks

Thanks for all the info.

Had a leaky trans pan. Took it to my mechanic, who said he couldn't seal the pan because of the gasket surface was not flat anymore and he couldn't get it flat enough , to seal all the way. So I ordered a new pan. He also mentioned that the kick down servo pin was leaking and could fix it...

Pulled out the B&M install manual, from my files, and went through the setup procedure again and everything works the way it should. As they say, when in doubt, read the instructions. The linkage was off. Starts in park. No spinning tires in neutral. Thanks for the info.

I miss spoke in my other post. I freshened the 440. Only thing I did the tranny was put in new filter and fresh fluid.

ew information. That I didn't mention, in my first post. Pulled my 440 and 727 out of one rig and put them in another one. Moved the B&M shifter to the new rig. Only thing I did to the tranny was install a new filter. Now, I can't start it in park but it will start in neutral. Here's where it...

Ok, have given more info. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions.(useful)?

My mistake. 72 Swinger. 440, 727 w/ B&M shifter, 489-410s. Just re-installed engine and tranny, after freshening both. Never did this before. Thanks

Noticed, on start up, that my rig seemed to want to move forward in neutral. So I jacked the rear up, so the rear wheels were off the floor and in neutral, they rotated, like the 727 was in forward. Any ideas? Thanks

What is meant by this? And, how do I do it? Getting ready to install my new driveshaft. Have a 8 3/4 rear and I just installed new springs. What's the correct pinion angle I should set it at? Thanks

Just about to install drive shaft, using girdles instead of straps. The following sentence cunfused me. When installing, be sure to press the clamp down on bearing cap and check for at least .010” crush at the parting line. Can someone explain what they are talking about? And how do I...

If you have a manual valve body, does that need to be plugged? Thanks

Just wondering what the arrow is pointing to is?

Getting ready to measure between the yolks, so I can have my drive shaft cut and balanced. When I put the tranny yolk in, should I fully seat it or seat it and pull it back a bit, so I can install the DS on the rear end yolk? When I took it off, it was a pain. Had no play to get the u-joint...

Forgot to mention that there is no engine or trans in the rig. Trying to put a new trans mount in, but can't get to that tab, to remove the mount. Just thought that it would be easier if I took the crossmember off.

Removing the 4 bolts, from the trans crossmember and it should drop down. Correct? Thanks

As you can see, the new rear seal is quit a bit shorter, than what's in the tail now. It's the one I got from Mancini. Did I get the right seal? Thanks

Good thing I asked. I thought the hole circled in blue, were the ones. The ones circled in red, are the correct holes. Thanks, everyone, for your help. Got it all buttoned up.

Pulled the pan from the 727 and then the filter. Dumb-*** me, didn't pay attention to where the three screws attached the filter. There's a lot of wholes and I don't want to stick something where it doesn't belong. Anyone have a pic, with the whole marked, where the filter attaches? Thanks

Was a /6, 904. Installing the 440 and 727 from my 73 Charger. The Charger has a spool trans. mount. The Dart has the below, set-up. I take it, that the trans. bolts directly through the two bolt holes, that are circled. Am I correct? Thanks

Am pulling the pumpkin (8 3/4) from my 73 Charger to install it in my 72 Swinger. But. It will be awhile before the install. Any suggestions as to how I might store it, so it wont get messed up? Also, Can I get a rear gear oil filler tube at any parts store? Thanks

What's everyone use to plug the tail, on the tanny, when pulling it out of a rig? Thanks

It's a 7 1/4. Putting in a 8 3/4. I have the brakes already mounted on the 8 3/4. Also have new drums.
