Does anyone know the pressure of the fluid in a transmission line cooler hose under operating conditions (in psi)? Reason is I'm trying to patch a transmission line in my 1975 New Yorker with 727 transmission. I'm debating on whether to use a cooler hose with 2 clamps on each end or a steel...

Still don't have an answer about transmission fluids. Can I a Ford/Mercury transmission fluid in a Chrysler product . Or does the New Yorker require a specific Chrysler transmission fluid? Paul

After driving my 1975 New Yorker I saw a small pool of transmission fluid on driveway. I think one of the lines has developed a leak. My mechanic wants $300 to replace the lines (over the phone estimate). I was thinking of cutting the original steel lines close to fittings and splicing in a...

Watched the movie "The Sting" with Newman and Redford for the upteenth time. Does anyone know the make of car the gangster Doyle Lonnegan was chauffeured around in? It was a long black limousine with suicide doors. I'm thinking Chrysler Imperial or Packard but I'm not sure. Either was it was a...

I've been using Shell Rotella diesel oil for my 75 New Yorker cause it has ZDDP for flat tappet engines. Read an ad for Valvoline VR1 oil. They said the diesel oil has the wrong ZDDP for flat tappets and the Valvoline VRI has the right ZDDP. I don't understand the difference in ZDDP. Has anyone...

What is OOTB? Paul

Watching Simon Fordman working on a Torino on You Tube. The guy is brilliant (no words spoken, no emotional outbursts when things go wrong; just a steady, methodical step by step process). So he takes the gas tank out and puts nuts and bolts and chains in the tank. Then he welds a bar to the...

Plan B is to sell my New Yorker and buy an EV. I read where they have electric motors now that can spin at 30,000 RPM with 98% efficiency. No more carburetors. Paul

I recently posted about a clogged idle circuit in my Holley 4175 carb and I posed the same question to Mike of Mike's Carburetor. I told him I hadn't started the car an about seven months while I worked on the timing chain. He wrote back that 7 months was too long and the gas had probably turned...

4; this brake cleaner is flammable. The only reason I use brake cleaner (for cleaning carbs and to start my lawn mower) is because it's cheaper. Paul

1975 New Yorker with 440 engine and Holley 4175 spread bore carb. Replaced timing chain and engine starts and runs smooth until engine comes off choke. Then the idle is not so smooth. Tried adjusting choke but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Now I'm thinking that because I did not run the...

CBO; "leaner" - meaning I rotate the plastic cap clockwise? Paul

Have a Holley 4175 spread bore with electric choke on a 440 motor. Changed the timing chain and the car starts right up and runs smooth for a minute or two (even with a load on) and then it starts to falter and the idle with a load on becomes rough. I'm suspecting the choke needs adjustment...

413; AC does not work and mechanic refuses to recharge it Says its too old and there would be too many leaks. I was actually thinking about leaving the air conditioner off when I put everything back together. I sprayed the old V belts with belt conditioner so I'll guess I'll get all the life I...

debating whether to replace my old alternator belts. A few cracks but people tell me there is still some life left. They are Goodyear Matchmaker 13661 belts and my understanding is they have to be replaced as a matched pair. Is that right? Cause Ebay has ONE for sale for $7.89 but I don't know...

and other alternators have a 1 belt pulley? Asking out of curiosity. Paul

Finished up my timing chain project on my 1975 440. The car now starts on the first spin (3-4 times in a row so far and the engine almost jumps to start) and no white smoke or flames coming up through the carburetor throat. I wanted to thank everyone on this board (and my race car neighbor) for...

Doba; do you happen to have the part numbers for the adapter and the linkage bracket that I need? Paul

Snake; did you have to use a square to spread bore adapter plate for the manifold? Paul

Does anyone have experience with the Edlebrock AVS2? I'm currently running a Holley 4175 spread bore on a 1975 New Yorker 440 engine. Watched "Project Marsha " on Youtube and fellow claims "immediate results " when he switched to Edlebrock AVS2. Trouble is I need a spread bore and I looked for...
