Never had worried about that. One night, years ago, a transmission shop owner showed me how much larger in diameter the friction plates were in a 727 than for the allegedly equal THM400. The TF was quite a bit larger in diameter and square inches of material, which means more torque capacity...
Yes, I saw that in the FSM. These are rough. One is barely squeaking a sound out, others . . . . nothing. Going to try MGM1986's suggestion. If that doesn't work I'll crack the rivets off and look inside. Learn, learn, learn.
Yeah I have trim tools, but my door card is in pretty rough shape, soft from moisture, and I was REALLY hoping not to have to pull it. Guess I will though.
Thanks all.
Not necessarily: according to the info on the Hamtramck Registry Library, an E6XW interior (black dash/steering wheel/floor, white everything else) was available on the 1970 Newport 'verts and looks to match what I see in the ad.
Perhaps the commenter "on the web" might have desired to see Torrington Bearings instead of mere thrust washers? At least, as a wear item, as a thrust washer wears, protecting the surfaces it wears against, it just allows more shaft movement. Any bearing, as it wears, usually stops turning...
Thanks for the quick input.
I have read through previous posts. My problem is that the push rod doesn't come out! It slides in and out about 1/2", but to won't just slide out.
I'm back in the shop this afternoon. I'll let you know if I have success.
Nice ride. Regards from Poland. I use this oil in my 383 Big Block.

Why disagree with my post from March 26, 2023?
Putting a question about removing studs in a parts thread is not going to get many answers.
See above post #25
This is exactly what I did for my '68 300. My horns barely made any sound. After turning the adjustment screws in and out a few times they started to work. After doing this a bit they now work fine. Be gentle and don't force it.
Unfortunately the Sneaky Pete did not work to remove the upper half of the rear main seal (it is a rope seal). It would only screw in about half way before seemingly bottoming out. I removed the rear crank cap to improve access but still unable to get the old seal out.
I am now planning to...
