Thank you. I have a friend coming from out of town to help so I wanted to have everything ready -- but it looks like we'll have to see how it goes. I will let you know what I need. B.

Thank you they are at the car show until tuesday.....

OMG Im trying to put a 318 into a 340 Cuda Auto. that was converted to 4 Spd. with a 440. Does anyone know the correct lengths of the Z bar and clutch fork for a 318 with A833? Also that pivot piece on the bellhousing? The car has been well diddled with. TY

Does anybody know? The z bar is hanging from the frame rail from when a 440 was in the car. I need to buy the widgits from the clutch to the Z bar. Thank you.

Sorry about the delay but I was having restoration work done on my eyes, kidneys and short arm. I am looking at the SM for 70 Belvedere, Fury, Barracuda and Valiant. In Figure 8 page 5-47 it looks like it is in the rear now that I see the tie rod. BUT it also looks like the brake line is in the...

I am trying to put a 318 in my 70 cuda. There was some discussion here on the length of clutch forks. Any idea what the length of the clutch fork and z bar should be for a 318 in an ebody? I had to buy a new Lakewood bellhousing if that makes a difference. Thank you.

Thank you, I think I blundered into the correct installation but I want to try my micrometer to see the taper. My alignment guy talked about the taper but I though it was just the threaded part and not the hole. What is that natural finish you put on your parts? It looks great. Thanks again.

Thank you. I actually just bought one of those Harbor Freight digital micrometers for $20. That will be a good exercise for me. I don't have the engine in but it also looks like the idler and pitman arms are pretty much parallel.

Sorry to be a dummy but how do you know if the center link is installed correctly?

RTA that is damn nice. What do you call that yellow stuff on the nuts? I see you do have the riveted brakes. What is that stuff around the hub. Is that an abrasive? Your pad looks pretty close to the hub. Also, I bought the MBM kit with the Chinese junk. Are the spindles supposed to be exact...

Man, that is clean. Thank you.

Katfish that is interesting.... I use the 70 Plymouth SM for Belvedere Fury Barracuda and Valiant. I do have a Fig. 8 Removing and Installing brake shoes. It looks to me like the caliper is in the rear, however the (same shitty) picture shows the brake hose connector on the front side -- but I...

Thank you. A new bit of information has arrived :-). I'll go out to the garage and see how that figures in!

My service manual shows it in the rear.

Sorry to ask something that has probably been beaten to death. I have a 70 Cuda. I have the MBM drum to disc conversion kit. I have a 70 Cuda. 1. The MBM kit shows having the caliper to the rear of the wheel. (The welded-on bracket for the brake line is towards the rear of the wheel) (Pictured)...
