Jack the rear up, put car in neutral (with e-brake off), spin one wheel if the other wheel on the other side spins the same direction you have a sure grip or some other traction device. If it spins the other way you have an open rear.

Ranger axles & exploder axles are the same minus the leaf spring perches. They share many similar parts.

4 hrs away (8 hrs round trip) was the distance I had to go to get my 4 speed conversion parts. I got everything but a new clutch & clutch fork an included non-od trans, pedals, linkage, shifter, floor hump, 130 tooth flywheel, lakewood bellhousing, ecc... I paid $400. Good deal I think, insides...

Bell housing and Z-bar will be different. Not sure about the 3 on the tree linkage tho. To answer your strength question they put those 3 speeds as standard equipment behind 340s and 383s.

You need a different one or modify yours to fit.

I think crackback hit it on the nail. See how one tab is up and ones down for the shift rods. Overdrive 4 speed trans are like that. It is an A/F body trans.

ferd :pukel:

Most vans and trucks had lower gears from the factory in them (3.55, 3.91, 4.10) and a pretty good chance of being a sure grip.

The switch was used on '70 and up cars. Heres some pictures of the one I have. Somebody cut the wire :angry3:

Thanks 66fs :thumrigh:

Any body?????????:glasses9:

What about an early A-body ('65 Barracuda) with a 273, 4 speed, 8 3/4 rear? Thanks

:thumrigh:

I got mine off of Craigslist. Wasn't really looking for one then, but I knew I was going to need one and it was a great price. I paid $300 drum to drum, sbp, 742 case open 2.76 gears. I think the seller was limelite. It came out of a '72 Duster Twister 318 auto. It wasn't even all crusty & still...

DON'T DO IT!!!! Find a C-body axle for cheap (usually under $100) and shorten it.

That video was great! Now I know what all the other gears are for:book:

I'd go with the 3.91s because the little 318 is an engine that can rev. Also because you plan on racing it more than cruising in it.

The overdrive A833 would be perfect. Its pretty much a 3 speed with 4th being the over drive gear. There pretty common & cheap, just look for an aluminum trans. They were made from '75- the mid '80s. The later ones I don't recommend being that they have longer tail shafts and come from trucks...

Maybe their both left springs but you need a different one for the right? Both say Lf &Lr (Lf= left front & Lr = left rear maybe)

I didn't know you could have gotten 2.45:1 gears in an A-body...... I only thought they came in later '70s-'80s car. Learning something new every day:cheers:

:hello2:welcome:hello2:

Get an 8 3/4 for that type of money. I got my A-body 8 3/4 complete ( but with 2.76 open diff.) for $300 and it wasn't even crusty looking.

Shouldn't it curve back to the driver though?

Whats special about it that you want to keep the correct rear in it? Just curious.

What kind of car?:)

I think this is what your looking for:http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/techarticles/drivetrain/mopp_0912_installing_a_drain_plug_in_the_differential_housing/index.html

So your saying that if you got drums all the way around then they would be sbp thous using the 8 3/4 because it only came in sbp while the 8 1/4 came only in lbp which would be use with disc brake equipped cars?:dontknow:
