I kinda thought the new torque number would be 170, just like the 742 with spacer, Doctor Diff confirmed it, so for posterity and the fact that I couldn't find anything in writing 489 housing pinion nut torque should be 210(min) with the crush sleeve and 170 with the spacer and shims It took...

So now that I'm using the crush sleeve eliminator in a 489 housing with a 10 spline yoke, the FSM torque spec of 250 no longer applies to get the 25 inch pounds of pull correct? So what is the proper nut torque to achieve success?

Update: ALL bearings were really rusty and crunchy, especially the pinion, I bought the whole slew of innards from Doctor diff including a new gripper It's ready to assemble but I'm not at all satisfied with the available Youtube instructional vids that I normally find, being a 489 housing, what...

Looks like the last owner thought of it as a street machine, what theme do you want to project for it? Stock? hot rod? mild custom? simple beater with some dog dish caps? The world is your oyster

Some good advice on here, I used to be a paint matcher at Sherwin Williams automotive, when you find your desired paint if from a local paint store, they can add flattening to any color you choose in any amount and do spray outs until you reach the desired effect. I've painted many a 40's dash...

Man oh man! I can't wait to get to that point, you must be super excited.

Made a deal on the E body rear, guy was honest, everything he said it was, usually you can't trust a Camaro guy but he was legitimate It turns but very tight, been just sitting out in his yard for years. I felt $700 wasn't terrible after looking around a little. What should a guy expect to pay...

Going to look at a 489 tomorrow, supposed to be from an E body, 3.23, sure grip. fingers crossed

So I'd like to find the 65-69 C body housing with the 46" spring perches and a drum to drum length of 61.75, is this every C body car not including the Imperial and the wagons in those years? any other exceptions?

Thanks, that helps, follow up question not answered there: was the sure grip available for ALL of those gear ratios? Are there castings that are more likely to have the sure grip than others? I would guess later castings with lower gears would be more likely to contain the sure grip as the...

I've been told to look for a 65-69 C body rear with 46" spring perches, my questions are, can you get a highway gear, something like a 2.90 in a sure grip? If not, in what ratios did the sure grip begin? If such an animal does exist, how would one find it? Casting part numbers? Identifying tags...

heck yeah man! whatever works and looks decent, well done!

Hot cables and wires when cranking is usually something not grounding properly

Jim in Tulsa, Oklahoma Need 62-65 full size car push button trans shift cable in good, ready to use condition, thanks.

69CoronetRT : thank you for that

No match, this a bastard combination done years ago that I'm currently undoing. A 59 Dodge had this 69 383 but with the original 8-bolt flange 361 crank to mate with the original 466 trans, having the whole thing rebuilt with a 68 383 crank and a 62 727 so I can keep the push buttons and the...

Not that it matters so much, doing a complete rebuild, just wondering since it has the numbers, it's a 69 383 says 12 172 with an R on the pad and the lower side numbers are CL23G9F 187893, has 906 heads but getting ready for an upgrade, thanks for any info. Jim Probably the wrong forum...

What’s involved in recurving a distributor? How do you know what curve you need? Found this truck unit on eBay, fits, got the VA, good shape Thoughts?

To help with information, this will be going on a 68’ 383 driver that I plan to eventually build to 400 hp, nothing radical at all, the application will be a highway geared 59’ Dodge and everything has to appear vintage at a glance My default is an old 300 F,G or H 413 type distributor with...

Do you have any kind of part number on that Accell? Sounds like what I’m looking for, if not electronic then something that can be converted
