While under my Super Bee measuring the width of its 8 3/4 rear, I thought I would perform a test to determine the ring and pinion gear ratio. I did two tests, that gave the same result. First I marked the drive shaft (using chalk) with marks every 90 degrees labeled 1, 2, 3, 4. Then marked a...

What tools do you guys use to adjust the 727 Reverse Band? The service manual says to tighten the 4 sided bolt to 72 inch pounds, then back off 2.5 turns. To do this using a special wrench and adapter. The guy in this video uses a Tap driver with a female 3/8” socket hole on the rear end of...

This is a review of the TCI 727 Transmission pan (part# 128000). When looking at the pictures online, I had doubts that the supplied lock washers for the pan bolts would work, at ALL.. I called TCI and questioned these lock washers. They assured me they are correct for the application and...

I am swapping out a Holley 4160 carb and I noticed that the old 4160 (that I did not install, and was on car when I bought it) currently has the PCV valve hose connected to the port on the rear of the carb, which Holley refers to as the “Power Brake Vacuum Port”. The power brake booster vacuum...

My car has a "Hurst Equipped" emblem on the rear of the deck lid. But, being a factory column shift car (and still that way), it's not "Hurst Equipped".. This was troubling me.. I could remove the emblem, but it has probably been on the car since it was repainted, over 18 years ago. If I...

Anyone on here really knowledgeable about the differences between GM and Ford/Chrysler vintage Hurst Automatic shifters? I'm talking about the main shifter assemblies. The DualGate, AutoStick 2 and AutoStick 3. I've seen evidence from old Hurst Catalogs of different part numbers for these...

I currently have a blocker on my steering gearbox swap. I accidentally cracked open my old oil dipstick tube while removing the gearbox. Just below the ring where the tube seats against the engine block. I then got a stock replacement tube & stick from Classic Industries. The new stick looks...

Anyone recognize my oil dipstick? It was in my 383 Magnum. It looks like a factory made dipstick, but not like a 1971 factory 383 / 440 Magnum dipstick from my online research. It has the following writing engraved on it: "ADD 1QT OPERATING RANGE CAP 4 QTS USE SF ENGINE OIL 25516569 W". My...

I just pulled 4 of the spark plugs out of the driver side head of my Charger's 383. They look like they are as old as the car!! I read them as saying this engine is running way too rich and is sick! Looks like there is oil on the threads too. They look terrible.. One of them smelled like...

While working on my 383, with Holley 4160 750 CFM carb, I was trying to remove a nut off a bolt on the throttle arm. I think I heard and saw a washer fall off the bolt and vanish somewhere between the intake manifold and the engine head. After researching the intake manifold to find out what...
