somewhere around 1960, we started building Corvairs there. i know we built transmissions where they built b24s in the 40's. but place was frickin huge and we added on to it and my have added assembly space to build Corvair plus other cars over the years. we stopped building trannies there in...

I have a 1966 Fury with a 318 poly and a 727 transmission. I want to put a modern 360 crate motor in it. Does anyone know if this will bolt up to my existing tranny and motor mounts and what other changes I would need to make?

Wait what? I thought going R12 > R134a is 80% of the R12 charge weight. It will never be as good as the R12 though which is why I'm a sucker for HC12. From personal experience it's just as good as, if not better than R12, and your HVAC system will last much longer because it runs at lower...

I currently have 2 ‘67 Imps so I’m well aware of what they look like and I also have a couple of spare ‘67 air cleaners from Imperials. Without having looked at any reference materials accept the ‘67 parts book I will say I don’t recall seeing a short round single snorkel air cleaner on a 440...

R-134a charge is best to be done using register temps and high and low side pressures. Your description is good. R-134a has a very narrow hysteresis or ‘sweet spot’. Too much or little and performance degrades quickly.

Didn’t GM build Corvairs there?

Ah yes, T7 is saddle tan in 70-71. So T7 in 77 is chestnut then. Thanks @Mr C Your trim tag will have the interior color on it. The tag is located on the front radiator support. Here is my tag on my 76 T&C . Mine is a Y3 Gold interior.

Grand Rapids, MI 1936

Bump anyone?

Happy to see another final-generation T&C (i.e., before LeBaron and the minivans) on FCBO!

Nice sanitary view under the hood. The Ammeter in this car is calibrated to read only the current flow in to the battery (charging) or the amount flowing from the battery (alternator not operating or not operating properly). Most auto supply stores will give your system a quick check. You can...

I ran across this. It's not far from me and the building is still standing, although I don't think all the cabins are.

I hadn't given sway bars much thought up to this point but might be worth looking into. Thanks

They will do that? That was the one part of my interior I was worried about losing was the embossing on the armrest and center part of the rear seat.

I got all the materials and headliner frim SMS. I even had them emboss the panels for the armrest and rear seat.

The Governor plays a big role on the full throttle upshift RPM.

only way to go with 516 or 915 heads

Your 440 will be really close to what I built several years ago. I'm not concerned about driving my car at over 6000 feet though. Mine started as a low compression 440 with a cast crank and 902 heads. I went with Ross Pistons, part #437RB (flat top .030 over). I don't think they're available...

We have all run across omissions in the parts book, so let's forget the book for a moment. Matt, what have you seen on cars? Have you seen an Imperial have a long single snorkel air cleaner that takes a pie tin? Have you seen an imperial pie tin? They won't fit the short single snorkel air...

I helped design the MT and now Icon pistons the are the only way to go mock it up to get tight quench like .030 035 with your milling, decking and gasket selection measure twice cut once 6 pack pistons with a wedge 915 head will most likely give you too much compression unless you D Dish...
