    A500 rebuild. Removing lockup?

    I'm currently tearing into the $200 A500 I got it's from a 92 2wd Dakota. So I've done the non-lockup mod before with the A999 I have now I'm planning on doing the same with the A500 now. The main reason is torque converter selections are junk for LU 26 splines. The highest stall I found is...

    The question of the day: Stick with auto or go auto to stick?

    So, I just acquired a rusted out shell (no trans or motor) of a 74 duster for free. It had a manual in it so I now have access to a manual trans hump, clutch pedal assembly, Z-bar, etc. Hopefully this doesn't cause an auto vs. manual flame war. So I'm deciding now if I really want to swap to...

    Well folks its that time of year...

    Tax time that is. I am expecting a refund not huge one. But then add the motorcycle I'm sellin' it really opens up a big question: The boss-err wife said I can use about $2800 from the bike into the duster. I'm looking to maybe getting a GV-OD put in. I know there are other options. It's just...

    Rear end options.

    Hey all, here is my dilemma. I have a 1974 Duster with a hopped up 360 pushing around 375-385hp range at the crank. With a A999 transmission converted to non-lockup with a cheetah valvebody. I currently have an 8 1/4 suregrip rear that is well worn and noisy. I changed out all the bearings but...

    Looky what I found!

    Well, today started off ok. Until.... I was driving back to work after lunch then all of a sudden I hear this thunking noise coming from the rear end. "Great." I'm thinking. I pull up to the gate. "Kerchunk... Kerchunk... Kerchunk." The security forces airman checks my CAC ID. Then says. "Hey...

    Cheetah valve body... Throw away spring?

    I am installing a new Turbo Action Pro street valve body for my A999. Pro-street manual/automatic. I already did a non lockup-conversion. Just finishing up with the final piece of the puzzle. However the instructions are telling to me remove the spring for the accumulator. This is throwing...

    Input shaft removal from clutch drum

    Ok, I normally have no problem figuring things out, however this is my first attempt at a partial rebuild of a A999. I am currently putting in non-lockup 904 parts into this to convert it. I have a non-LU valve body, pump and torque converter already. I currently have a non-LU input shaft by...

    Well my day got better... Take 2

    Reference: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=303826 Well my torque converter went out again. I am so sick of this stupid thing. I'm thinking the damn lock-up is the big weak point here. I called the transmission shop and he said that he is going to remove the lock up...

    This might be a silly question...

    I am need of a kickdown linkage for my duster as it did not come with one. (My duster was in pieces when I bought it) I tried looking in the local junkyards for one, and all I found was a 75 Dart sport slant 6 and a 1979 dodge diplomat with a 318. They both still have their kickdown linkages...

    Column or Aftermarket Console shifter?

    Well I need to make a decision: I have a B&M "Hammer" shifter like this: So my question is: Should I keep things "simple" by retaining the column shifter. Or use the Hammer shifter, and wrestle with the super long cable they gave me as it is a tight fit. I have a pretty hopped up 360 with a...

    Decisions = 904 vs. 727

    Ok here's the pickle: I have a 1974 Duster that had a 318/904 combo. I just recently purchased this car the 318 is junk it was in bad shape, however I have 1990 360 out of a Ram, I'm hopping it up to 9.7 compression ratio and is a Hydraulic roller cam, it is going to have a beefier cam as...
