8 3/4 axle with Suregrip has no endplay after installing axles: Had the diff rebuilt by Clarks Customs. Installed per the manual. I installed new inner axle seals along with new outer seals in the retainer plates along with new tapered roller wheel bearings on the original axles. Verified...

Okay, looks like they'll go on and see how they settle in. Thanks

So I've removed the rear springs( original and never been off the car) as I want to replace with new ones which I have ordered and received from Mopar Parts Warehouse as they were a better price but the same p/n as what Mancini lists on their website. HD stock springs( Pass side has the 2 extra...

Going to change the fluid in my 727 soon. Considering using Amalie ATF+4. Anyone have any experience with this fluid, good or bad? Thanks

So I am thinking about buying from Diamond Back Tires. 215/70 R14's all around. Around a grand shipped to PA. Shouldn't change the stance at all. Was reading back thru some old posts today and saw something about the Sure-Grip(which I have) doesn't like mis-matched tires. I'm assuming if you...

Did it mount up easy without having to modify anything?

The starter on my '69 383 is slowly on its way out. Not sure if it was re-built when the engine was overhauled in '88 and it's been intermittent at times lately. I'd like to either rebuild it or replace it. Have seen the Powermaster OEM high-torque starter listed on Mancini's website and was...
