The 833 tranny that I got with my 70 Duster(bought the car unassembled) is a close ratio, but has a 5 1/8" retainer. Someone must have changed out the 4 3/8" one for it...maybe they were using an 833OD bellhousing and switched to the bigger retainer so the tranny would fit. I think that the retainers have the same bolt pattern(my tranny's retainer bolt pattern is 3 5/8") and are interchangable...am I correct? If so, anyone have a 4 3/8" retainer to sell? (the car didn't come with a bellhousing,so I bought the 4 3/8" "year correct" sized housing). Once I'm sure what I need,I'll post in the "wanted" thread. Thanks, Dan
