    Help Identifying Torque Converter

    I'm tearing down my 360 to address a spun bearing problem, and I thought I'd try to figure out what converter I have. (I bought the whole drivetrain used, so it's been a detective game.) The only markings are these numbers on the crank hub: C300 2601. It has 3/8" bolt holes. It measures 9...

    Speedo Gear Questions

    My car hasn't had the speedo connected since it was a 198 slant. I now have 4.33 gears in a 9" Ford rear, in my 360/727 74 Dart Sport. I'd like to get the speedo correct. M/T ET Street 275/60R15's will be ordered before my Summit 10% discount code expires 12-31. (Thanks again, GTXJohn!) The...

    Gear Pattern Opinions Please

    This is an 8.8 Ford (in my F150), but the gears don't know that. (ssshhh!) I have limited experience setting up gears, but I've never seen a pattern that encompasses the entire tooth, drive and coast. And I don't see any pictures like these online. I used Ford Motorsport gears (going from...

    Axle Vent

    Does anyone know of a vent bolt that will hold the brass vee and is 7/16-14 thread? I have a 9" Ford in my Duster and there is a solid bolt holding the vee on. So, of course, the axle is not vented. I haven't driven it enough for it to leak, but I want to "stay ahead of the curve"...

    Eliminate 3 On The Tree

    My 74 Dart Sport began life with a 198 and a column 3 spd manual. It now has a 360, 727. I removed the shift lever, and I don't care if the column sleeve and the linkage down on the engine side of the firewall stay there. But, how do I remove the "feature" that locks the column when the...

    U Joint Question

    I’ve installed a 360, 727 and 9 inch Ford in my Duster. They all came out of an 81 Pro Street D150. The driveshaft that was in the truck is too long. While it’s getting shortened, I’m going to replace the u joints. From research, they appear to be 7260’s. The cap diameter is 1.078, as it should...

    Pinion Angle

    I'm thinking of using the trans pan (727) as a reference while setting the pinion angle. Anyone know if the pan is parallel to the output shaft/crankshaft?

    Need I.D. On This Axle

    It's a Ferd 9" that's going in my Duster. (It has been fighting me, but I will prevail!) I don't know anything about it's history. It's been narrowed, has 4.10 gears 28 spline, and is limited slip. The axles are aftermarket, but I don't see any I.D., which a tech inspector will want to see at...

    Leaking Pan

    It never leaked. I dropped the pan to change the ATF. Leaked. Did it again, two different times. Straightened flange (looked ok), rubber gasket, cork gasket. I just replaced the pan with a new B&M deep pan. SAME THING!!!!! I've never seen this before. How can I seal this thing?

    6 to 8 trans xmember

    I have a 74 Dart Sport that had a 198 3-on-the-tree. I'm putting in a 360/727. I have Schumacher mounts. Will the 3 spd trans crossmember and mount work? Could I be that lucky?

    Off Topic: Dakota Clutch Prob

    This ain't vintage Mopar, but I need help. My '94 4WD Dakota w/ V6 and AX-15 5spd is very hard to put in any syncronized gear after it's been running for a while (1/2 hour). Only when sitting still. I can tickle reverse to slow the shaft down, then it'll go in to a sycned gear. It has...
