Yeah, I went down and looked at the carnage........Rear band was burned and worn almost smooth, no grooves. the late model 71-72 case looked great, Obviously going to have to replace ball and trunion output shaft with correct length U-joint rear . I think I am probably going to go with the LOKAR...
A bit of bad luck befell my 1965 Valiant Wagon this week, Looks like the original transmission case/ valve body are bad....so the shop has a 71 904 case to replace it with, but as the 65 is a cable operated column shift., I now need to convert this to a linkage floor shifter (Or find a 66 or...
Man..........I am super sorry, I KNOW/KNEW it was a 2 spoke steering wheel on that car. I don't know why I originally posted looking for a 3 spoke. Thanks!
Good Afternoon all, I am in search of a good condition 2 Spoke Steering Wheel for my 1965 V200 Wagon....Turquoise would be excellent, but any color would do. Thanks!!

Wait and see.......Anybody have any preferences for spings on the wagon?

Thanks again for the smokin' deal on the exhaust set up, Fitted up real well with some minor modifications.....cut off the old IMCO cans and Viola, sound great and even helped out with a bit of the stumble ( Somehow). Still want to come by and see your cars and pick your brain on a 360...

Funny Rumblefish
After getting home today and same thing happened.......90 plus degrees on ride home again....stop and go SOCAL traffic, I broke out the service manual and it kinda seems to sound like the Control cable need adjustment and a filter change might not hurt ......Fluid is clean and...
I guess even a blind dog finds a bone once in a while..........
Next question is then: Do I go back to shop that rebuilt transmission or is this something I can order and do myself......REMEMBER I have never worked on an automatic before.
It does not have an external cooler.......lines go to and from radiator only as far as I know.........
Like I said : I know NOTHING about automatic transmissions
The cable Idea was just that.....an Idea
Does anybody concur or think I'm some kind of a dumb a$$ for coming up with that???
Got the arm rehabbed enought to remove the radiator and took harmonic balancer off and removed the sling ring that was spinning and chattering......
Now she purrs like a kitten.........FINALLY.
But found out it is not the original engine.....its a 1967 273 block with hydraulic lifters.
So...
This is a weird one.......at least for me
When I bought the wagon last summer, the dude I bought it from had had the transmission rebuilt by a local shop for 1800.00.....got the reciept and information along with other docs when I bought the car.
Anyway, last september on a 90 degree plus...
I saw a SWEET Black 1964 Valiant V200 wagon parked in the WAMU parking lot off ADAMS and Marlborough in Kensington Area last night. Was still there after the UFC fight ended around 11pm. Anybody know who might be rolling that ride here in the city?
Who is going to Spring Fling from Down here...
