Thanks AJ!

Thanks again!

Are there any options for a slant other than the stock tranny. I'd be nice to have an overdrive for the highway.

Thanks!

This winter i'm going to have my Slant 6 and auto-trans rebuilt. A friend just told me about a TorqueFlite being parted out of a Duster 340. Does it make sense to use a TorgueFlight with a Slant?

OK.....every forum I've read about these plates say they are interchangeable. Thanks all!

Are the shock plates for the 8 1/4 the same for the 8 3/4?

Will the bumper from the 8-3/4 work? It's all I've been able to find.

I'm about to have my 8 1/4 blasted and painted. On top of the carrier that connects to the flange there is a support plate on top with a rubber bumper. I'd like to replace the old bumper. Any ideas who might sell the rubber bumper? Thanks

OK...that makes sense. I just couldn't see how that hose was coming out. Thanks

Is there a trick to removing the rubber line. I's in there pretty good and the brass sleeve is crimped around the base of the hose.

Thank you!

Question....when replacing the differential cover, do the bolts need to be torqued?

Just popped the differential cover and drained the fluid which looked like molasses. The inside of the cover is coated with tar. Question, what should I soak it in to clean it?

T valve.

Thanks Bruce, The overall plan is to replace the lines and brakes. I'm going to open it up and drain the lubricant, put it back together and get it blasted and painted. I like the clip idea. The rubber line had already been cut when I picked up the rear end so I don't have a visual reference...

Thanks again Mopardrt. The T valve intersects the rubber hydraulic line and the two metal brake lines. It's mounted by the screw in the axle diagram. I believe under all the crud it's brass.

While we're on the topic of the 8 1/4, attached to one of the cover plate bolts is a metal tab to secure the brake line. I have one remaining and with one more bend it will probably snap off. I assume there were two originally. What are these called and where do you source them? Also, there is a...

A quick follow-up. I placed the order with RPM Offroad and there was a discrepancy with the postage. In the ad is says postage is included but there was a $9.95 charge on the total. Anyway I called and they promised to investigate and get back to me. Within 10 minutes they were back on the phone...

Great....thanks for the heads-up and the link!

I'm prepping the 8 1/4 for blasting and painting and want to drain the fluid. I understand there isn't a gasket under the cover. What should I use?

When I picked up the rear end I also liberated the fender tag. After soaking it in Evapo-Rust for a few days I could decode a few essentials. It seems it's a 74 built on Jan 24. I was told it was a 225 but the tag reveals a 318 with a Torque-flite. Based on that , any ideas of the gear ratio of...

I should add that this came out of a Duster with a /6.

Um...no. I have no idea how to go about that.

I picked up an 8 1/4 from a 73 Duster in a junk yard. I thought I'd wait until winter to attack it but I'm thinking of taking advantage of the warm weather. I'm going to have it blasted, primed and painted. What should be removed, what should stay in place to be blasted. I've removed the...

This comes from Mopar Enthusiasts Car Club of America. It's lengthy but some might find it useful. Chrysler installed three different type rear ends in A-bodies from 63-76: the 7-1/4", the Spicer 8-1/4" and the Chrysler 8-3/4". The 7-1/4" was designated for light duty service. It served as the...
