Got it resolved!!! It was a broken wire at the starter. When putting it back together I accidentally pulled the wire out of the end that bolts to the starter. Put a new end on it and fired it last night. WOOHOO! have yet to drive it, but ran it through a couple of gears on the stands last night...

I'm actually using the newer type bushing that fits in the large end of the crank, where the snout for the torque converter would go. Unfortunately, I'm not even to this point yet, as the starter isn't doing anything. The starter isn't even engaging the flywheel at this point. I just need to...

My car is a 67. Yeah, when i get out there next, i'll check my connections all around and see what I can come up with.

It's a powermaster mini starter, and worked perfectly when i pulled the auto. Next time i can get out there, I'll check my connections at the starter and double check my battery connections.

Hmmmm........Speaking of the starter. I got underneath again to look around........the starter pinion seems awfully close to the flywheel. Should they sit like this? They seem to be almost on top of each other. Is this normal?

The caption underneath this pic says it can be grounded. Wonder what might be going on. http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/techarticles/drivetrain/mopp_0107_727_torqueflite_transmission_conversion/photo_22.html

Hmmmm............If that's the case, anyone know where I'd find this thing? I guess i could attempt to follow the wire, but it's inside the loom and I don't really want to cut that apart.

Hey All, Tried to start the car for the first time today after converting over to the 4-speed. I thought all I needed to do was ground the wire that went to the neutral safety switch on the old auto. Here's what's happening. 1. Without the neutral safety wire grounded, I turn the key and...

The bushings aren't new, but they don't appear to be very old or worn. of course, that probably doesn't mean that they aren't. The bushings in the zbar are still installed properly. I guess I'm going to have to get someone to push on the pedal while I watch from underneath. The really...

Hey Everyone, Finishing up my 4-speed conversion, and got the clutch installed, trans in, shifter in and adjusted (shifts fantastically!), and am working on the clutch adjustment. I appear to be having a problem with the clutch adjustment, and am not sure what could be wrong. When I first...

Ok.....got the new bracket on the bellhousing, and now everything magically lines up exactly where it should. The only question I still have is that the zbar sits off of the bellhousing bracket by about 1/2". Is this correct, or even ok? I know it rides on the nylon bushing but was wondering if...

WOOHOO! Getting somewhere now. I found a picture I had taken of my bellhousing that gave me the casting number. It's a 72-up bellhousing, which, according to Brewer's site means that I'm using the wrong ballstud bracket at the bellhousing. If I had the period correct bellhousing, my bracket...

Talked to Brewers again.....something definitely wrong. Just not sure what. Going to go play some more tonight and check some other things. I'll keep you all updated.

Ok, it get's interesting now...........I talked to Wayne at brewer's yesterday, and then went home last night and took a look at some things. The zbar tube should be 7" long, and mine is exactly 7". Also, for the bracket on the bellhousing, it's correct for the 10.5" bellhousing. So last...

Actually, if I look really close at the bar on brewers, maybe my zbar is wrong. It looks like the top arm that should connect to the pedal is angled backwards to what is on brewers. Hard to tell though, because the brewer's pic needs to be from the side. It just looks like where it anles is...

For the rod to line up properly, the zbar needs to be moved towards the bellhousing. The whole thing needs to move over. But, the zbar looks right, including the arm for the clutch adj. rod if you look really close at the pics on brewers...

Ok, here's the pic of the zbar installed. With light in there I can actually see on the bracket where it should sit and ride.......with that gap there, I think my zbar is wrong. Which would explain why the top arm does not line up where it should. I could almost move it over to meet that bracket...

Those pics are perfect. I think I have the right rod, but the z-bar may be suspect. In Demon 408's pic, the zbar sits against the bracket that bolts to the bellhousing. Mine doesn't. Mine actually sits off just a bit, but I"ll have to go take a pic to show you guys what it looks like. It is on...

Hi All, I'm pretty close to finishing up the 4-speed swap........I got the zbar in and the bracket welded in place and all seems pretty cool. then I went to put the linkage from the pedal to the zbar on, and I can't figure it out. No matter which way I put it on, it really doesn't fit. Either it...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll leave it there for now. No point in going back to remove it now. :) Thanks!

I'm in the midst of the 4 speed swap, and was swapping out the pedal assembly. As I was doing this, I discovered the brake pedal on the 4 speed setup was sticky, so I took the assembly apart to free up the brake pedal. When putting it all back together, I had the most irritating time putting the...

Sweet! That's good to hear! Thanks for all of the help! - Don

Hey All, I've started the swap from my 904 to the 833, and had a question about the drive shaft. I don't know anything about the length needed yet, but wanted to know if the one i used with the 904 will be too short to start with, or will it be long enough to make work (cut if necessary)...
