    727 Converter In All the Way?

    You can be sure if you measure from the bell mounting surface of the block to the flex plate bolt surface and have just a little less than your picture measurement. It looks in to me too, but when you put the trans in and make sure you have a small gap between the flex plate and converter as it...

    universal air conditioning and heater

    Classic Auto Air Vintage Air Classic Retrofit Restomod Air Are a few, and Jegs sells full AC kits as well. I just recently put a Classic Auto Air “Perfect Fit” series kit in my 73 Dart. It wasn’t quite a perfect fit, but close. Some kits have premade and crimped hoses and some you have to cut...

    Real estate question.

    No thanks Way too expensive there for me. Just the estimate rent on the house is over 4k a month. Not the executor, but just the one dealing with the attorney and fiduciary after the executor wouldn’t leave the property after 7 years of getting free rent at the expense of the beneficiaries...

    Real estate question.

    I can’t answer all the questions in replies, so I’ll add this. It is my job to get as much for the property as possible for the beneficiaries of a will. Looks like it’s going to be listed nationally with the locals having a chance to make a higher bid.

    Summer Break In The 1970s

    I grew up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, so when I was around other kids it was when school was in. During summer break I was cutting and hauling firewood with my Dad, or fixing some piece of equipment for when winter came again. Other than that I was out hunting, fishing or riding one of my...

    cracked dash pad

    I almost like it too, kinda sorta almost. It’s better than it was with its guts hanging out. I know all the details involved in doing it right. Not going to do it. Whoever ends up buying it when we decide to sell instead of it sitting in the sun in the driveway and baking can do that.

    Kickdown issue

    You beat me to it.:D A&A will get the right governor for the application based on the owner preferences. Well worth talking to about it.

    Real estate question.

    A property in a highly desirable location in wine country California. Locals are willing to make a competitive offer and avoid a possible commercial buyer coming in. Through an agent the final closing costs could be in the 50k range all said and done. Considering the desirability of the...

    FYI on motors that smoke

    ATF is high in detergents and can free up rings that are sticking from carbon buildup.

    Adding Pinion Angle Shims - Tell Me If This Sounds Correct, Please

    When your GV is as high as possible, it seems to me that you want just a bit less than the same opposite at the differential. Lets say you have 4.5 down on the GV, then you want 2-3 degrees up at the diff. Then when under load the diff comes up a little more making the angles about perfect for...

    Pressure regulator?

    This might help.

    Vibration 45-50

    Yep, tires, driveshaft, ujoint or loose yoke on the differential. Tires is easiest to start. Dont forget you can put it on stands to check things. Spin the tires in the air at speed. If you don’t find it put the fronts on the back and test again. That is how I go about things, but obviously you...

    Vibration 45-50

    It’s super rare that a trans causes vibration. You can test that by simply pushing the clutch in. If I was driving your car I could tell you exactly where the vibration is coming from, as I made a living diagnosing and fixing such problems for a large shop. Diagnosing via description over text...

    Vibration 45-50

    When I start looking for a vibration the first thing I do is put the rear on stands and duplicate the speed. If it’s still there I pull the tires and test again. Then put the front tires on the back and test again. This mostly eliminates tires as the problem. This assumes the vibration is not...

    Which transmission.

    Yea, I would say Dex is a good guess to not mix fluids. These TF type transmissions will run just fine on used french fry oil. :D

    904 swap

    In order to swap tail shafts you have to remove everything in the transmission. Might as well put new stuff back in.
  20. TrailBeast

    Which transmission.

    The new fluids are not necessary. Personally I run type F and have in every 904 or 727 as well as my 42rh. But you can run whatever makes you happy.

    How important is 1psi of fuel pressure?

    Higher pressure will cause the needle to close ever so slightly later. But not anywhere near enough to make any difference in the tune.

    Strange behaving power steering pump, or is it the box..?

    With working parts I have never had to bleed or anything else. Either everything worked fine, or there was a bad part involved. In this case I would be pulling the pressure side off the steering box and checking for flow. No shutting the engine off needed. It should empty the reservoir in about...

    You know, if you quote someone they get a notification that there is new info or posts. There are two bolts in that bracket to the block and one to a water pump bolt.

    any ideas what this wire is for

    It’s connected to the hot side of the relay so it’s hot all the time in the cabin. It’s not a factory wire, so it may very well be from the old ignition system. If I’m not mistaken the MSD requires a constant hot wire and keyed power both. There are other aftermarket add ons that require a...
