Hello All, I have started to test fit my A518 into the transmission tunnel. Engine block is at the machine shop for work so the test fit is rough at best. I have already the cut the tunnel cross member, welding in the strengthening piece has yet to take place. Transmission mount is the Energy...

Hello All, I realize that I'm probably being anal about the gap, I just dislike after market parts that don't fit properly. Unfortunately this is an issue with many after market parts these days. I'll install the isolators as is, take the K frame to body measurements and torque the bolts. Out...

Hello XfbodyX, Appreciate the feedback. Having a 'second' confirmation of the issues I experienced is comforting. Hello M_Body_Coupe, As always, appreciate the info. I checked my FSM and I have the same diagram. My diagram references the same 'transmission cross member gauge hole' for the 3...

Hello M_Body_Coupe, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Forums are SO valuable! I have been going back and forth with ESPO (Spring n Things), for days seeking clarification was told no one has mentioned this in 20 years. Your feedback has helped a great deal especially the photo. DOH! Never thought about...

Hello All, I order a set of polyurethane K frame isolators (no, I don't want solid mounts), from ESPO (aka Springs n Things). These are made by Prothane but came without installation instructions. I found the Prothane ones but they are too generic to be useful and although the ones from Energy...

Hello Mikes5thAve, I don't think the cop ones are welded in - at least I can't find any sign of welding. As mentioned, they are staked in place which could mean they are first pressed in and then staked? Hello M_Body_Coupe, I like your idea of a carriage bolt (deck bolt as you call it). I may...

Hello M_Body_Coupe, The original design appears to have the threaded stud staked in place at the factory. The signs are visible on the inside of the bracket. I believe they did this to ensure the bottom side was smooth because that surface is part of the support for the sway bar bushing. A weld...

Hello DumpsterFire, It does confirm that TRW 18795 is a correct cross reference (thanks for the tip M_Body_Coupe), albeit a NOS item. For anyone else reading this thread, beware, trying to 'adapt' a part like this one. The shape and dimensions of the idler arm are critical and any deviation...

Hello DumpsterFire, Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! Glad you got it sorted. What part number did you use as the TRW 18795 number is becoming a NLA item? Might help someone in the future.

Hello DumpsterFire, As you know from my thread (Idler Arm Difference; Stock vs. Police / Taxi), I had the same issue and p/n TRW 18795 was the recommended by M_Body_Coupe. I have one coming from eBay (USPS), but it is SLOW - 11 days to get from Sherwood, OR to Chicago, IL today 28/03. USPS...

Hello AMC Diplomat, Strange because I did a search this morning and nothing. At any rate I lucked out - because PATC had to calculate shipping to Canada the PayPal charge is flagged as 'Pending'. As of Mar 24th PayPal will issue a credit. Pending charges are only held open for 30 days. :-)...

Hello AMC Diplomat, Thanks for the quick reply. It wasn't a case of someone recommended them, the name popped in a number of threads so I thought they were OK. :-( Do you know when they closed shop? They accepted my order on Feb 24th and updated it on the 28th! I'll see if PayPal can refund my...

Hello All, I ordered a 3 pin connector and 35T speedometer gear from PATC a three weeks ago. Received updates that the order has been processed but no shipping info or tracking number. The website is down and the phone numbers are not answered (voice mail is off)!!! Anyone know what is going...

Hello M_Body_Coupe, As always - appreciate the prompt and detailed reply. Just ordered one via 'eBag' as you put it. Thanks again.

Hello All, Trying to determine which idler arm I have in my vehicle ('88 Plymouth AHB). Mine does not have grease fittings on either end. The end that bolts to the K frame has what appears to be a Nylon bushing. The other end that connects to the centre link has sealed ball joint. All the after...

Hello All, The passenger side front sway bar mounting bracket was rusted more than expected as a result, the threaded rod snapped just below the nut. :-( I have managed to affect a repair of sorts by cutting a thread on the remaining stud, doing the same on a 5/16" bolt and using a threaded...

Hello Camtron, Many thanks for the follow-up. Will send you a PM with shipping info, etc.

Hello Camtron, Take your time - family comes first. Hope all goes well. Take care of yourself and your family.

Hello Camtron, Hope the penetrating spray did the trick - those little Phillips head screws can be a pain if corroded. :-) I notice the car in the picture has cruise control. Is this a parts car or one you plan to repair / rebuild? If not, are you planning to harvest parts from it? I'm looking...

Hello Camtron, Thanks for getting back to me. I was giving you some time because of the cold weather you were having. I will send you a PM with my mailing address, etc.

Hello stroked408, Yes, the one in the first picture p/n 4373257 is the one I need. Your second one p/n 94013A is the one I remember from the 1970s Chrysler products. Let me know what you want for p/n 4373257 plus shipping (USPS ground is fine), to postal code B5A 4C3 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia...

Hello All, The transmission I'm installing in my '88 AHB (318), came from a '95 Dakota (5.2L Magnum). The following items were included with the transmission; shift linkage (column), TV cable, rear transmission mount and a bracket. On the '95 Dakota the TV cable connected to the passenger side...

Hello All, I plan to have a cold air intake system with two intakes. For this I need a second cold air intake flange to mount on the inside of the passenger front inner fender. See picture below. Let me know if you have one and the price. I recognize that the shipping costs will exceed the...

Hello M_Body_Coupe, Apologies in advance for my verbose post. I must say your are persistent and generous - thank you for your offer to make use of your US mailbox. My brother lives in Erieau and my nephew in LaSalle - they share a Detroit mailbox that I can use as needed (I've only used it...

Hello M_Body_Coupe, Sure, get my hopes up with an inexpensive alternative!! :-) Allstar Performance only ships to US addresses. :-( I've run into that issue with a few US suppliers. Unless I find something on Amazon or NAPA (long shot), it will end up being the PATC item.
