    904 transmission

    I once had a 440 dart with a stage 3 shift kit that could only be manually shifted, that's why I asked.

    904 transmission

    My 904 for my 68 rambler American gasser has a stage 3 shift kit in it which means full manual shift. My question is do I need to worry about the kick down linkage?

    Gonna do a 7" dual diaphragm booster. I'll let everyone know the results. Wish me luck

    7/8 master cylinder or brake booster

    All calipers and master cylinder are new and front calipers are speedway. Came with the front drop axle kit. Been told a longer pedal would help but don't have the floor board real estate for that option.

    7/8 master cylinder or brake booster

    No booster now, just a hard pedal. Just need a strong leg. Won't lock up the brakes

    7/8 master cylinder or brake booster

    I've got a 1 inch bore gm disk disk master cylinder. GM metric calipers on front and 8.8 Ford rear. Brakes work good but the pedal is very hard. From what I've search on the Web I get 2 answers. First answer is a 7/8 bore master cylinder and the second answer is a power booster. I have...

    wiper

    I've run into an issue. I'm on the final stages of my build. I need wiper arms for my willys. The prior owner modified the motor and transmission from, I think, a mid 60's gm vehicle. The drums are a 5/8" strait splined. The local parts stores are useless. I live in the Northwest so wipers...

    62 Nova speedo cluster

    I was told 6 volts. With both gauges, no power to them, they read full. Does this mean that they're bad?

    62 Nova speedo cluster

    DONE a little research. Guess from 62 thru 66 gm used a shunt to step down voltage to the fuel gauge. Found someone who reproduces one but they're $60. Does anyone know a work around? Thought about ballast resistor but that would only step it down to 9 volts. Can multiple ballast resistors be...

    62 Nova speedo cluster

    I have a 62 Nova speedo cluster I'm putting into my willys wagon rat. All I really care about is the fuel gauges ,but can't find any info on how to wire it. 2 prongs. I'm assuming one hot and one to the sending unit, but don't want to burn it up. I've got the 30 ohm sending unit already...

    throttle pedal

    OK. I'm convinced....kinda I went to the local scrap yard and pulled one out of a f's jeep. Using a cable from a mid 70 cj5 6 cylinder. All seems to be working out now. Thanx for all the input guys.

    throttle pedal

    I bought one of those cheap, I mean inexpensive speedway spoon throttle pedal assemblies. What a piece of....I mean it doesn't meet my needs. So I've decided to build my own. A piece of 1/4 inch rod, bent in the right places, ad a couple pillow blocks, drill a couple holes, weld on a spoon, and...

    transverse to single airbag

    Back to transverse leaf and also corrected steering issue by installing a longer upper steering arm. now a new problem. Not much suspension movement. Didn't expect much from this system but am worrying about the spring and axle bottoming out on the frame. Is there anything wrong with running air...
