65 Barracuda daily driver
Success!
Had to move the wrench around quite a bit to find the best angle, but eventually got it to 175 ft lbs. The dual exhaust did not help haha.
I kept going and installed the transmission filter, speedo cable, gear shift cable and the stupid park lock housing and cable (took a few attempts). Does ATF ever stop dripping out? It's been a month since I took off the pan... Anyways, the list is getting shorter. Still to do:
-transmission pan
-bolt exhaust to manifolds
-exhaust hangers in the rear
-bolt in drive shaft (first check pinion flange torque 180 ft lbs)
-fill ATF
-start engine for the first time in a month and a half
-adjust gear shift cable (I wish I hadn't touched it, but I was afraid lowering the transmission would pull too much on it)
-drive wheels off
