i have access to a 77 wagon parts car to have any parts i need.it has a v6 and BIG rear end.will it work under my 74 sedan without too many mods.????? thanks, 74P-NUT
The axle should be a bolt in to your 74.
Hello 74 P-NUT,
The rear that you describe will bolt right in with the U-bolts BUT You will need a different rear U-joint.
Maybe that is only for the pre-74 models???? Because the part numbers are the same for a 74 and a 77 Pinto.
The rubber brake line that supplys the brake fluid to the rear wheel cylinders will also be a small problem.
Maybe the one from the wagon will work.
BE SURE NOT TO CUT THAT RUBBER LINE!!!!
I may be possible that it is no longer availble.
The wagner part number for the rear hose.
WAGNER F80014 2.3 rear brake hose
WAGNER F80024 V6 rear brake hose
AC DELCO 45U0107 U JOINT 2.3
Note: at trans
AC DELCO 45U0129 U JOINT 2.3
Note: at rear axle
Hope that helps you out some???
