Wallered out the front pump on a car I bought with a 72 motor and the original 66 trans. And, it’s the original trans for the car, and coded for a HP application, so I feel the need to rebuild it.

I would be worried if it were the other way around and they used a later motor with an early trans. But your situation sounds like someone already remedied the mismatch!

All of the parts to make this swap can be had, and if you're patient and keep an eye out, you can score great deals on what you need!! In the last 2 months I have found and purchased the same parts you need, including... A complete A body 8 3/4" under a car I purchased, I swapped the car to a 7...

All Mopar starters are the same regardless of motor, including the newer style mini starters from Dakota pickups!! I would look into getting one of those, you can get them at the auto parts, or at most pick a part yards!!

You can have a pilot bushing made up by any machine shop! My neighbor can pump one out in about 20 minutes, and just did one last week! My crank was not drilled either, just gave him the inner and outer dimensions of the bushing and boom, done! The outer diameter needs to be about .002 bigger...

How about trying to start it in neutral?? The neutral safety switch may be keeping it from cranking over, or it may be plugged into the wrong terminal on the relay!! It would not effect the lights and such, that sounds like a no ground or fusible link gone bad!! Damn I wish I was closer to come...

You have to make sure that the battery is even good enough to charge! If your charger has an amp guage on it, when you turn it on it should go up to the rated max amperage of the charger if the battery is dead but is still a good battery! Therefore, if the charger is rated at 20amps, the meter...

I always recommend pulling the pan and draining as opposed to just letting it run out the tailshaft, much cleaner that way!!!

If you're still running points, change the condenser under the cap!!

Now that's sum funnie stuf rite ther!!!

Under the cap, with the lead bolted to the but on the points!! About $2

So, things that you did not mention....does it have the points style distributor?? If so, replace the condenser, even if it's brand new! A bad condenser can give you fits thinking it is fuel related!

Did you try testing the thermostat? Maybe it's not functioning properly? A simple thermometer and a pan of water on the stove will tell you when, or if, the thermostat is opening and at what temp!!

I think I see a loose bolt in there....somewhere!!! :-)

Try changing the condenser!! I know you already did, but they are cheap, and your description of how it reacts sounds just like a condenser! Geof

I have a 65 /6 if that would help! Geof

Not generic, should look like this!!

Here's hoping for a quick and painless recovery!!! Geof

Contact Cox Brothers Racing in Columbus, Oh! They are running high 9's in the qtr with their slants and can surely help! Geof

Any center link from a 63-66 V8 A body will work!

Is it points or electronic ignition? If its points I would replace the condenser, and the ballast resistor, both cheap parts both known to cause erratic running, complete stalling under cruising conditions, and both capable of coming back "online" for a time before acting up again! Just a start...

That looks handy to have around when doing your conversion Mike!! Nice find!! Geof

I would first start by taking a few measurements. Measure the circumference of the 4 blade fan and check it's orientation in the shroud. (You do have a shroud, yes??) Measure the distance from the current fan to the radiator, and measure the thickness of any fan spacers. I'm not current on...

I'm leaning towards a trans problem myself. I have a car with a 904 that has a trans problem. If I put it in gear it will move, but if I give it gas at all the trans "screeches", ut will accelerate at idle until it shifts to second. If, after it shifts to second, I lightly gas it, it will...

The lad has another thread where he chronicles the events that led up to this problem. He was driving along, the car seemed to be laboring, he heard a screech and them poof, the car would not move. I agree that if the car is jacked up and the driveshaft spins at all then it is probably in the...

I thought I heard somewhere that if you used a Clifford intake that you also had to use the Clifford header due to clearance and bolt-up issues!! Is that not the case?? Just wondering!! And gents, those are some beautiful powerplants but the way!!! Geof

I think you're gonna get your wish with reliability, dependability and good economy for sure. Just keep your foot out of that 1920, she's a real BEAST!!!LOL!! Welcome to the site by the way!! Geof

Why bring them and run them under peoples noses then??

Lets see...the Cox Brothers had their slant 6 powered 66 Dart into the 9's befor hitting the wall with it a couple years ago!! If they can "paint" their street with it, I think you could too!! JMO, keep it original, Geof
