You can put one in, but you should move the spring perches as they are a bit too far apart. It will also cause the need to run wheels with lots of back spacing to clear the wheelwells. Stock wheels are a no-go unless your scamp is actually a Duster or Demon/Dart sport. If you are going to a more modern size wheel (17" & up), back spacing isn't really an issue since most are like that anyway. If all you want is the bolt pattern, you would be better off to get a later "undesireable" 8 1/4" A body axle. Travis..

I bolted in one from a 66 B in my 69 dart. No mods.
The spring pearch difference is mninimal, but as said, tire clearance does get a littel tight. I had a aset of ralleys offset inward at the time, and that worked.
As said- 65-67 are the best to go with. The diff dimensions in the archives are a little iffy
I think this one is more accurate
That's still wrong for most 8.75" a bodies.

IMHO.just send the housing to Moser and have them cut it to A-body specs and weld the new perches on with 43" centers..shiping x 2 and about $65+ to narrow it set of the $299 custom alloy axles with greens and large brake off set.. you can run any brakes from an 8 1/4, 8 3/4, 9 1/4,D-60...B,C,D,E,F,M,R body axles unless you rather do the funky offset on rims I did this for my 68 Dart and then swaped it into my 85 truck still less $ in it than buying a 8 3/4 thats does not bolt and play and fit correctly just a suggestion
