I'd just use a thin washer and a cotter pin.

I wouldn't worry about anything in the transmission, looks like it's been a while since it was serviced so maybe once it has a new filter and fluid run it for a year then change the fluid/filter again and you should be good! The 727 is a ridiculously strong transmission and will keep going when...

That second smaller port off the check valve usually runs to the cruise control servo, but if you don't have cruise then just put a cap on it and your done. The fact that there is no cap on it now is why you have no power in your brake booster....all the vacuum is just leaking out and away. To...

Years ago I had black wall tires with big lettering that I painted in with just some simple white vinyl/rubber paint. Spray bomb but just sprayed into a small cup then used a small brush to paint the lettering....looked OK after 2-3 coats, but you really have to clean the tires well before hand...

I'm working on getting my manual lock system built on my "Cheap, beat, rusty, dissembled and parts missing" 4 post lift I picked up last December and was wondering if anyone would be willing to grab a few measurements for me off your lift. Took me almost 2 months to get the 3/8 and 1/2 round...

Congrats on the cool old long roof! What is it sporting for a motor? What electrical problems are you having?

Over our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend I finally had a chance to take my Mother In-Law out for a cruise in the Coronet....I'd promised her back around Mothers day that I would but weather, work, holidays and schedules never aligned to make it happen. Beautiful day for October and...

Being 6'8" tall the waxing of the cars has always been hard on my back but this year I discovered how great a lift is for waxing the car! I can now just adjust the lift so I'm always working at a nice comfortable height for every panel on the car. :thumbsup:

Beautiful old long roof you have there!! I concur on checking your ignition, timing, and vacuum advance. I had an overheating problem on the 440 in my 68 T/C wagon years ago, couldn't figure it out...was running fine then I did some work on the top end and all of a sudden over heating all the...

I've had a claybar kit for a couple years and keep meaning to do the wagon and the coronet. Do you use one claybar per vehicle or can you do more than one?

That one in Denmark looks really nice!

Easiest to change if you remove the springs, and if the springs come apart even better to just handle the top leaf spring. Once they are out I use fire to cook the rubber bushing until it gets soft enough to push out the bushing and inner metal insert, then just use a small chisel to deform the...

It very well could be the sure grip unit...the clutches and steel plates wear over time, this alone can cause some horrible sounding noises and driveability issues. And sometimes the splined teeth on the plates can break off causing the plates and clutches to misaligned and make all kinds of...

Are there no numbers inside? The short fat ones make me think maybe from a 50's car?

The grey stuff is the old undercoating, that chunk you flaked off after is rusty metal flaking off, I'd hit that whole area with a needler and clean it.

He has to modify the floor because with 3 on the tree it did not have to clear a floor shift mechanism, that is why 4spd cars, A,B,C,E-body have a hump on the floor. As for shifter I never said t modify a hurst mechanism or shifter...I said to utilize the top portion of the inland shifter to...

OK my thoughts and ideas on your car...I think since your car has been modified already the loss of the column shift really isn't that big of a deal, I do agree with keeping all the original 3 speed parts, column, transmission and any other parts that don't make it through the conversion...

Was not 68 the transition year for the cruise control set-ups? The earlier version phased out for the newer system Welder Guy posted.

Was working on my son-in-laws 1st gen cummins truck with him a week or so ago and we were trying to get the front 4wd manual locking hubs off, there are 6 small allen head bolts counter sunk to be flush with the surface used to secure them, I got 5 of them out and of course the last one fought...
