I don't know what options this thing came with. It has a power steering, radio, heater and 4 doors. When i got it, it had the original radio, which was neat, but I figured someone who is building up an original car could use it more, so I sold it and put in a real stereo. Other than that, no...

Well, alls i know is that i just found a freshly rebuilt transmission, swapped it out and the car has been running great ever since. I didn't notice before, but the transmission shifted poorly as well. Lesson learned: It doesn't hurt to dump a little extra cash for the right fix.

I do realize that the output shaft requires a full dis-assembly. Luckily I have a good mechanic who is better at such things than me. Typically i do all my own work, but when it comes to the insides of a transmission, i leave it to a professional. Anyway, we know that its bent because he put...

I had violent shaking in my car. I suspected it was the driveshaft, but I replaced the driveshaft and it returned. Sure enough, the output shaft is bent. I have looked around for a new one, but I can only find one from a Jeep 1960 and up...

Alright, well thanks for everyone's help. The driveshaft shop ended up finding the parts and built me one. Now i'm back on the road and now i know the sound of a driveshaft thats fallen off.

Hehe, ya, if only i had got it off the side of the road that night. Now i know what a driveshaft sounds like when it falls off. Well, i jacked it up and put a tape measure to it. It looks like its 54" from taleshaft to differential saddle. Does that sound right? Also, there is 1/2 a u-joint...

Well, I haven't been able to measure it. Somehow everyone needs me to work for them when i have no vehicle. But i've been on the phone. I'm not having luck with the junkyards here in town. And there is only one drive shaft shop left here in town. My dad advised me that the shop would have...

Thanks for all the quick replies. Ya, you are right, it probably wasn't useable, but at least i'd have the yoke. Right now i'm stuck with nothing. Its sunday so tomorrow i will be calling around to every junkyard. Its a 7.25 rear end. I will get under the car tomorrow with a tape measure...

Not only did it fall off, it was stolen. Last night i was cruising, and heard a terrible clank clank clank. The clank stopped and i rolled to a good place to leave the car for the night. I got up this morning to check it out, found the driveshaft missing, walked along the road i was on and...

I'm about to purchase new gears myself. I plan on keeping the low gear ratio since my little 170 slant 6 won't ever haul ***, i'd rather it save me some money. here are a couple of sites where i found some items. I can't seem to find just a shim kit though...

Yup automatic. Someone told me to check for the ratio on the ring, but only after i had bolted it all back together, so i don't know my current ratio, but i'm sure its designed for the highway and not power, so thats why i guess something like 3.21 or 2.93. I like the low RPMs on the highway...

In a perfect world, i might swap the rear end. But the fact is that i'm leaving this slant 6 in there as is for the next 10 years at least. So its not like i need a more powerful rear end. Plus i don't have the money, time, or space to swap the rear end. This thing is a daily driver. And...

My ring and pinion are worn to crap. They will still work for a while. but there is a noise going on back there that i don't like and neither do my girlfriends. So, i'm looking to replace it as fast as possible. Where do y'all buy these type of parts? Ideally, I'd like to buy a replacement...

oh, and if anyone has links to a good rear wheel bearing/seal kit. please link. Tips and tricks would be appreciated. I've never taken apart a rear end in my life.

I've been having a wining noise at high speeds lately. This last week it moved a wining noise at 30. So i stopped driving the car so i can do work to the rear end. I've ID'd the rear end as a 7.25. Its a 66 Valiant with a slant 6. So, i found this...

Oh ya. it was time to change them. What do y'all think?
