    Hone-O-Drive anyone?

    If the day comes that I am not happy with it or switch over to a 5-speed then you will have dibs... but for now it is mounted up and set. All I need to do is figure out the shifter and I'll be on the road again.:nice:

    Hone-O-Drive anyone?

    Now I'm looking for that "old style boat throttle control" for my shifter and found nothing. Anyone have an idea where to get one?

    Hone-O-Drive anyone?

    I sure don't have a 10 second car and it never will be. I would be super surprised if it got out of the 12's. I hope thats slow enough to keep the hone in one piece.:D

    T5 Spacer or T5 Bellhousing Swap?

    I was going to go the same route to get an overdrive. I basically have the same setup as you with the new clutch and lakewood bell. I would recomend using the adapter just for the simple fact that youo allready upgraded the other components. You would be taking a step back if you went with the...

    Recentering a rearend?

    I have the global west springs... I'll have to look at them a little closer to see if that is where my issue is. I just noticed that my driveshaft is closer to the passenger side of the tunnel too so it could be in the springs.

    Recentering a rearend?

    I am with most other people, my car has the rear axle offset to the RH side (passenger). It is more like a half inch. My RH rear tire rubs on big bumps and the drag radials rub on pretty much all bumps... RH side only. My quarter panels are stock with the exception of patch panels on the lower...

    Anyone minitub their classic yet?

    I have considered it. I do know that I would have to move the springs in to get any serious tire under there. I don't really want to go that far. A friend of mine (mopar guy) moved his springs in the width of the springs and did a mini-tub and now he can get a very wide tire under his dart. You...

    Anyone have a mallory hyfire VI-al box?

    I guess mine is different. It is a HyFire IV-a. I took it apart anyway to take a look. It is not the same on the inside at all. I don't even see whats wrong with mine.

    Anyone have a mallory hyfire VI-al box?

    Mine died on me a few years ago and I just left it on the shelf till I could get to it. I'll pull it in and see if it had the same failure point.

    You do very nice work. It looks like you pay alot of attention to the details and that is where it counts. Keep postings pics... you give me the desire to go out and work on mine.

    Hone-O-Drive anyone?

    Just for the simple fact that I already have the Hone unit. Right now I really don't have a lot of money to work with either. If I could afford the gear vendors unit, I would probably just use a TKO.

    Hone-O-Drive anyone?

    Thats what i'm worried about. I don't want to be at the track and kill the overdrive unit. I'd rather see the overdrive unit go on a driver rather than my weekend racer. It will be nice when I am cruising or heading to the track. So, do you guys think it would be better to beat on a T5...

    Hone-O-Drive anyone?

    Yes, this is pre-gear vendors. I didn't know that the "sun" gear was a weak point. It looks pretty stout. What exactly happens to it? I used to do the autoX thing but now I lean more towards drag racing and do that several times a year. Thae last thing I want to do is kill a good overdrive...

    Hone-O-Drive anyone?

    I took it apart today to see what kind of condition it is in. It is fully syncronised so I imagine you can shift it on the fly. Probably let off the gas or step on the clutch for a moment. Should be just like shifting gears in the tranny.:nice:

    Hone-O-Drive anyone?

    I am going to install my Hone-O-Drive this winter in my '66 coupe. Does anyone on here know anything about them? I have the model that replaces the pinion carrier on a 9" axle. I am curious how strong they are? I visit the strip a few times a year with drag radials and run in the high 7's (1/8th...

    Would this make enough room for a big block in the 65-66 cars?
