67 Coronet Rear End

Hi folks.
Found a 8 3/4″ rear end on CL that came out of a ’67 Coronet 500 and was wondering what the ratio might be.
The engine was a 383 4bbl and it had a 727 automatic.
No ID tags on it. It’s quite a ways from here, so not easily accessed.

What’s ironic is that I had a Coronet 500 back in…

Dakota PS systems

Did the Dakotas come with R&P power steering on the 2-wheel drive
and Power Steering Box on the 4wd?

Or is there another way to know what system was used in a 1988 2wh Dakota without seeing the vehicle?

3/8-24 locking nuts wanted

Hi folks.
I’m in need of some 3/8-24 self-locking rod cap nuts. They have small slits on the top allowing for deformation. They are NOT castellated nuts.

The 727 I have just purchased is for a SB Mopar (pretty sure of that…)

The s/n found along the pan rail right below the shifting shafts is

331 dipstick

Hi folks, newbie here.

I’m looking for a dipstick for a 331 Hemi (Industrial) with a std rear-sump pan of 7 3/4″ depth.
The engine was partially assembled when I bought it, and the tube came loose in a box of parts; where does the tube go into the block on an industrial engine?

727 Bolt Patterns

Hi folks….newbie here, just joined this great site.
I was using the Search function to try to find info on 727s and the difference in bolt patterns for BB vs SB

One that came up was a post by John Kunkel with an “Attachment” for the 727 bolt patterns, but evidently the link no longer works or…
