How many hours should a shop charge to swap and rebuild a 741 center section. I just took my Coronet into the local speed/custom hot rod shop to have a Sure Grip installed. They did the following: 1. Initial test drive, heard sound 2. Removed centre section 3. Inspected gears, found gears...

Looking for some helpful tips for buying 8 3/4 rears. I have a line on a 714 case 3.23 Sure Grip. From the pics it looks to be in good shape but I don't know much about Sure Grips. Is there anything I should look for to ensure that it's as the seller says? Is there a way to check that the Sure...

A buddy has a 3.91 741 case center section that I am thinking about buying. I believe it is a small pinion, but not sure how to tell. The only issue is that it isn't a Sure-grip so I'll need to buy a True-Trac or something similar. My driveshaft is small pinion (both ends have a taper). The...

What is the difference between the big block and small block Saginaw pump? Is it just the pulley? Turns out I have a small block pump and the pulley doesn’t line up. Can I just buy a new pulley or do I need the pump as well?

My buddy offered me a good deal on a brand new QA1 front suspension setup he bought for his 70 Cuda but is now going a different direction. Will the upper/lower control arms bolt up to my 69 Coronet? The QA1 website shows two different part numbers DK11-CRE1 and DK11-CRB1. The parts look identical.

Is there a way to remove/replace the firewall bolts from the parking brake mechanism? Both of the bolts on mine snapped. You can see both broken bolts.

My ‘69 Coronet came with manual disc brakes off of a ‘75-76 A Body. I decided to keep them, so I bought new rotors and pads. All of the parts matched the old parts. When I put the new pads and calipers on, the rotors turned very stiffly, and when the wheels went on, they turned a little bit but...

When should I grease the ball joints, tie rod ends, etc? Does it matter if I grease them before everything is torqued or wheel alignment is done?

Yesterday, I torqued then front suspension got factory torque specs. After I was done I found I couldn’t turn the rotors left or right, it’s like they are locked firmly into place. Did I do something wrong or miss something???

When I got my 69 Coronet, it had manual disc brakes from a 74-75 Dart and a Wilwood proportioning valve. Im keeping the disc brakes and just ordered new brake lines, but I’m confused on what to do with the proportioning valve. If I keep the Wilwood I’ll have to modify/change the brake lines as...

I just dropped my front suspension to replace everything. My questions are, what should the upper control arm look like after the bushings are pressed out? Mine look like they have a sleeve, it’s hard to tell because everything is rusty. My question about the lower control arms is how does the...
