I searched, and couldn’t find the answer I’m satisfied with. I need to adjust the bands in my race only RMVB 727. I’ve read the specs are 72 in/lbs on both adjusters, back the rear one off 2.5 turns and the front anywhere from 2 to 4 turns. I’ve also read to snug them down until the driveshaft...

Prior to stuffing a 600+ hp gen 3 hemi in my drag car Duster I’m going to first change the 8 3/4 diff. The 8 3/4 is living on borrowed time as it is with 1.45 second 60’ times even with the crappy 410 LA motor. I’d like to use a D60 instead of a 9” since the price for one ready to roll is about...

After many, many years my 8 3/4 finally gave up. Not sure if I lost a carrier (Detroit locker), or the gear set. Now the decision is to fix the 8 3/4, or go to a 9”. 1.50 60’ car with 4.30s. Happened in the 1/4 finals of Pro class at our local track. The poor guy in the other lane red lit, so at...

Lost second gear in my 727 at the last race. Luckily I still had enough of a points lead to win both non-electronics, and pro class. Unfortunately I had to borrow a car to race for the overall track championship (all class winners race off for the title plus Wally), but lost in the final due to...

Who is making good converters for bracket drag cars these days? I have a 9.5” from Cope in the car now, and after 8 years I think it’s showing some age on the track. My 60’ times will swing .04 on a good surface within a few runs. I can’t say I’m surprised given it’s age, and it wasn’t built for...

I'm ashamed of this, but it's mostly because I didn't know. I've run my 727 for about 7 full race seasons and have never adjusted the bands. It's a mild auto shift street/strip build without a transbrake. Still seems to shift fine, but I'm sure it's way overdo for an adjustment. How often do you...

Finally after 10 race seasons Im going to pull and rebuild/replace my trusty and faithful mild built 727. I am at a place of question though. Should I spend the money on a transbrake valve body? The setup is a Duster with a 408, converter from Cope that flashes to 4500, Caltracs everything, 28x9...

My 727 with mild street car modifications is getting aged (6 full race seasons plus street time, and I feel it's time to look into a replacement. I want a transbrake to help keep reaction times consistent, and hopefully shave some time off my ET. I would build one myself, but I've never done...
