I’m in the process of installing a hydroboost setup on my E body. I chose to source the parts separately instead of buying a kit. I wanted to shoutout Doug at Precision MC for machining and anodizing this bracket for me. It perfectly adapts a gm hydroboost to the manual master cylinder mounting...

I'm looking for the best method to install the gauges and switch panel from the front. Seems like I hit on the trim. I have dropped the column all the way. Thanks for any tips.

Hello all, A long while ago I posted about a vibration issue I was having and received a lot of helpful suggestions. I finally have solved the problem and wanted to share with pictures. TLDR: Previous owner surfaced the flywheel too many times, therefore the external balance was incorrect...

Yeah it has a tko 500. I haven't measured as you stated, but this vibration didn't exist when the car was new (to me), so I must have introduced some vibration or some part must have worn. Whenever I eventually tear it down, I intend on taking all these measurements and also checking the...

I've been doing some more reading and wracking my brain to figure out what this is. I'm fixated on the trans mount because this is the only other thing I can think of that I've really done that could relate to this issue. The trans mount I installed is a poly energy suspension mount. I have the...

The vibration doesn't start again at 2x the RPM even a little. I'm getting suspicious of the distributor. Today I noticed that while trying to bring the revs up with a light on it, the timing seems to jump to be very advanced. I also notice that sometimes after revving and letting the throttle...

I remember the vibration beginning after I changed a broken transmission mount and exchanged a leaf in each spring to fix them sagging. For the longest time I thought this was a pinion angle/ driveshaft balance thing but the vibration occurs in neutral or with the clutch in, not moving or going...

Hey NoCar, thanks for the tall response. I'll go ahead and take a look at the chain slop via the method you mentioned. I oughta get the car up and do a bolt check of anything I can see in the bellhousing, too. I had actually been suspecting a misfire issue so I swapped the mopar box for an MSD I...

The vibration isn't quite that bad. From 2500-2800 it's very noticeable, but it smooths out above that. Absolutely no vibration below. Unfortunately, I have no information on the build or the history of the motor at all. I know this was a 318 car and the 360 got swapped in along with a (at the...

Also, I do have the proper counterweight in the balancer.

Hey there everybody, I'm seeking advice regarding an engine vibration in my 73 Challenger. 360 LA, tried running without accessories, finished replacing the balancer this morning and still no luck. The vibration happens in neutral or with the clutch in. Also happens while driving. So I would...

Yeah, I'm hoping that because the Hurst part straddles the mounting location (where the torsion bars seat? can't remember off the top of my head) that the part won't interfere with the accessory mounting area on the TKO case. Then maybe I can shim if needed to correct the angle. The Keisler part...

Hi there everybody, I've been combatting a driveline vibration for awhile now. A previous owner of my 73 Challenger installed the (then) Keisler TKO kit. The crossmember in that kit is a very tight fit with the tremec tko, as the bulk of it sits further in front of the stock crossmember...

Just to finish the thread off: Dropped the oil pump and pickup and picked up the Melling replacement parts. When re-installing, I first slipped the hex shaft on, then rotated the pump so the bolt holes would line up, then slide the part around the shaft into its bore, then put in bolts to spec...

I referenced the service manual and found this image. Just to be very clear, the bolts holding the pump in can be undone and the pump can be dropped while everything else stays in, right? And then when re-installing, I just need to make sure the hex lines up with the shaft? The manual then says...
