Ok, @toolmanmike I need a good set of wire strippers. For 10-2 wire. My 10 dollar pair sucks on that wire for some reason
That's too heavy for automotive strippers. You should go to Klein or the like.
Wait till you see the

air cleaner I just picked up for it.
Yep, I would leave old patina before grabbing a can of black paint, wouldn't you ?Wow, the black engine compartment paint hate runs deep in here.
Oh now now, I can't remember.... let's see , I will show you my mess.

Nice, but too common for me,
Of course.
Started putting my trans together tonight, all gong well.. i'm using a book for reference since it's been decades since i have done one, i start doing the output shaft, get it all cleaned, new rings on.. all that, check the planetaries and all that.. good stuffs. the book which has had super detailed pics of everything up til now literally says "Assemble in reverse order of disassembly.." WTF?! If i had an actual memory i wouldn't even need the damn book.
That being said, all in spec so far.. original thrust washers look like they were never ran even. The A&A servo though.. came with a small sheet of directions that look like a copy of 300 copies, can't read it at all

I didn't. I only have 1 stall to work out of and that's the stall my wife parks her car in. My 66 spent the winter in the garage while I rebuilt my 273. When it was together on the stand it was time to get it in and out of my (her) hair. I popped the hood and thought to myself, no way am I going to put that new mill in that old rusty hole. I scuffed and sanded, primed and painted it with a couple cans of John Deere gloss black. It looked good and much better than the rusty scuzz that was there before. It's a project I should have started earlier but not much time.

Have you looked at J Par's thread?
no, didn't know bout it and never heard of j par... Gonna watch yoshis videos tonight for refreshing.. he has a very detail 727 rebuild series..
Plan to get the body of the trans done then do the TF2 kit.. And rocker shims should be here tomorrow, getting real close now... still at least 2 weeks on the converter i think though

Hmm. It's a 727?

That's because at 20 the male cerebral cortex is not fully developed and that is where we manage risk... so yeah... turns out our parents were right and we didn't have a lick of sense
