Don't make 'em like they used to. These days I'd probably have to pay some geek to hook up his computer and punch numbers. Oh What would we do without them. We'd probably have to drive the streets with other people who knew a little bit about cars or at least had a respect for the machinery. Too bad.

Sorry, I guess I'm confused. I thought you were looking for something like this:

Please explain a bit more what parts you're looking for.

I have a 74 Dart with a 7 1/4, 9 bolt rear end that needs a spider gear kit. Anybody with suggestions are appreciated. I've called around every where that I know of and gone on-line and cant find them anywhere. Thanks

When my '72 Duster diff went out I went to the junk yard (sorry, 'recyclers') and got a replacement rear axle. May be easier that way. I think the ratio is on a metal tag.
 
Edit-and by easier I mean I swapped out the whole axle, pretty simple operation (did it in my dorm's parking lot one Saturday).

Where are you located? I'm in Maryland and know a couple places that specialize in old Mopars. I dunno how they'd handle shipping, though. One of them is a junkyard, and the other is a repair shop that specializes mainly in older Mopars, like 50's and 60's, but may be able to help with something like that. He had two '65-66 Dart wagons sitting out in front when I was by there on Wednesday.
 
You could also try www.moparmailinglist.com. Someone there may be able to help you out. Good luck! I've had two Darts, a '69 slant six and a '68 318, and loved 'em both!

What do I need to convert to install hydrulic lifters in a late 1955 235 engine that has solid lifters in it now.

I'd guess that the easiest thing to do would be to transplant a head that already has hydraulic lifters. I'd imagine those old stovebolts weren't designed for hydraulic lifters from the start, so the engineers probably had to make up a bunch of new parts to do it.
