It's all good. I know your heart is in the right place.
The clip is pictured on an earlier post on the thread.
Most parts are Mopar Specific. Most parts can be purchased through (MoparDave) at RosevilleMoparts.com.
I don't know the pitch and thread count on the water pump.- it's a 440, that's all I know.
The wheel studs- we only have a 1&1/4" stud, which is not nearly enough. I'd say 1&3/4 to 2" to be safe. Again, I'm not familiar with pitch and thread count. It's all Mopar specific.
Accelerator linkage- I think we could get that thru summit. Edelbrock 600cfm 4bb carb.
The u- joint should be pretty standard. I only dealt with getting one once, so someone else will have to chime in.
The trans dipstick and tube can be purchased as a set- again we could buy a specific one thru Roseville. All 727s are essentially the same for car applications. Don't know about trucks tho.
I'm picking up the hoses.
