Hello FABO - I have installed a rebuilt 727 in my 66 Barracuda. Mounted to a 318. When I removed my 904 it never had any issues with leaking at the dipstick tube. I am now having leaks occur at the dipstick and I cannot seem to prevent the leaks. I've tried RTV red, and it did not work...

Hello FABO! I have a question about flex plate compatibility. I have a 318 and I am converting from a 904 to a 727, and I am noticing that the flex plate that is compatible with the 904 does not seem to fit the 727 torque converter. Is there a difference in the size and how can I tell what...

Hello FABO - Quick question. I have a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda and when I turn my headlights on, after 10 minutes of them being on, they cut off by their-selves and come back on. They do this repeatedly. Pretty nerve racking at nighttime. Are there any recommendations on what I should check...

Today I was doing some timing work on my 318 which is mated to a 904 transmission. I finally got the motor started, and at that point I got out of the driver's seat and walked around to the front of the car. After only running for about a minute, the car jumped into reverse by itself! I...

Hello FABO - I have installed a set of Doug's headers into my 66 plymouth Baarracuda on a 318. Everything was going good until I went to reinstall my steering linkage. The idler arm swings back to far and contacts the base of the headers. The idler arm needs to move forward about 3 inches in...

Hello FABO, after inheriting my 66 Cuda from relatives I immediately began to work on her. However I cannot seem to get the trunk open. Are there any other ways of getting into the trunk, maybe from the interior, or other hinges that I might be able to loosen? I was really thinking about...
