The Duster fender wells look wider then my 68 Dart and I know there both Abodies 57 1/2" in length . Would it be possible...

    Gaskets

    No . It was black. And they had to send it from Seattle. We have 5 O'Reillys in our city and no one keeps Mopar parts and I had no other options on gaskets. I'm going to Napa.

    Gaskets

    This is the first time for RTV and I wouldn't have done it but Felpro suggested it. I also Tighten in steps and opposing sides and now I have to clean all that crap off.

    Gaskets

    I used RTV but let it tack. I've never had problems before. Also factory torque is 40-45 lb probably too much on that thin of gasket.

    Torque converter recommendations

    Yes , I can punch it and you would think with that kind of horse power it should burn the tires , even power braking dosen't work. Could it be TC is bad? Only has about 300 miles on it.

    68 speedometer cable leaking

    Cable end may be worn but shouldn't leak from that. Check the speedo gear housing . Its easy enough to pull it apart and check. Jack the car up enough to get to the tranny ,use jack stands. This will shift trans fluid to the pass side of tranny. Unscrew bolt to speedo housing and work speedo...

    Your expertise is wanted/needed

    x2 . You want to match your parts don't just through stuff together. Carb to intake, to cam etc. You might also want to look at your converter even though your not going to race. Summits pretty good about setting up combos just let them now what your going after.

    Axle leak

    Yes I did mean inner seal. On the new bearing the bearing is the seal from what i understand. When i pulled the axles there were no inner seals. First time through for this type. A friend of mine races and they take their housings to a guy that will machine the bad end. Waiting to find out how...

    Axle leak

    We measured both bearings with calipers their both the same. By putting inner bearings back in you stop the flow of lube to the green bearing. Tapered bearings are grease lubed and require the inner bearing. It looks like maybe a new housing end.
