    Column shift converting to B&M floor shifter

    Hello everyone! I'm thinking of going with a B&M Quick Silver shifter. Currently, I have a '75 Scamp 383/727/8.75 - column shift. Other than the shifter, which seems fairly easy to install, what else would I need? I know they sell a steering collar conversion piece, but could I keep mine in Park...

    904 Torque Converter in a 727?

    This is the 10" TQ from my '75 Scamp 225 W/AC, 904. The drive train had 53k on it, but doing 383 swap for fun. What are the pros and cons of using this TQ over the 11" in my '68 727 440 Imperial Trans? All of the writing was on the converter. Factory? Or rebuilt?

    Neutral Safety Switch swap?

    Hello Folks, I have a 68 727 for my 383 Scamp swap. Naturally, being a 1975 Scamp, it has the three prong switch plug. I've read opinions about just using a three prong NSS on the 68 Trans and plug into the Scamp's harness and all's well. But, Isn't the "Rooster comb" different as well as the...

    Hey guys, I've owned this car for two years and when I fire up my 75 Scamp (225/904) and I shift into reverse to back out of my garage it harldy moves as if it has a high stall converter. It's not slipping in and out of gear, it's just real sluggish. The Trans NEVER slips, the fluid level is...

    Loose transmission filler tube

    I purchased a BB 727 transmission last week. Previously, someone used pipe tape to snug the filler tube to the transmission. I cleaned this out and removed the tape. Now, I am afraid to add new fluid because this filler tube seems LOOSE. It only has that little "O" ring. Should there be another...

    whining rear

    So for my 8.75 in my '75 Scamp, I purchased a used 741 open case with 3.55's. I replaced the pinion seal, the gears looked good, I measured the backlash and came up with .010" (not bad for used gears). After installation, the rear whines. :banghead: Not a howl and no grinding sounds, just a...

    Universal Joint removal

    I have used a C-clamp to replace U-joints, but it has been a while. Any tips you guys can offer would be appreciated. I have a bench vise that I was going to rest the ears of the driveshaft on to remove them by pounding them out. I don't own a press.
