    68 727 FILTER QUESTION

    Yes. I bought the special tool and could not get it to work properly no matter how I did it. Transmission out of car? Seems like a perfect time to do it.

    68 727 FILTER QUESTION

    I did that seal 2 weeks a ago. That area is now dry. I pulled the valve body to do it and used a new "performance" pan gasket in hopes the pan would seal properly. Nope.

    68 727 FILTER QUESTION

    I just cant get that aftermarket pan to seal. I have tried 3 different types of gaskets, dollied the pan flat, checked all surfaces with a flat edge. I am sick of taking it off to try something else. The stock pan is going back on.

    68 727 FILTER QUESTION

    I am removing the aftermarket deep transmission pan from my 68 New Yorker and reinstalling the stock pan. The filter has a filter extension on it to set it deeper in the pan. When removing the extension for the stock pan, is there a plate, gasket or stand-off required to mount the filter in the...

    floor shifter linkage bushings

    As I was changing my shift shaft seal on my 68 New Yorker, I noticed the linkage bushing on the transmission was kind of janky. I looked one up, $34 for a plastic bushing? I didn't have a lot to do today and had some oil impregnated bronze I had used to make some bushings for an older...

    timing my 440 TNT

    Just to follow up on this, I filled my tank with non-ethanol 91 and drove @ 270 miles. I then filled up again. it reduced the spark knock at WOT by a little, but did not eliminate it. I then checked the plugs, they were Autolite 85's. After doing some research on colder plugs, I said the heck...

    how to free or prevent sticky valves and lifters

    Valvoline has a new oil called "restore and protect" Lake Speed JR. does a dive into it on his you tube channel. Unfortunate, I don't see any 10-30,10-40 available.

    timing my 440 TNT

    I took the number on the FBO plate to mean total mechanical advance, 16 meaning limited to 16 degrees of advance. I measured the 16 degree slot and it was slightly over .390 I thought the number printed on the stock advance plate was half of what was measured with a timing light, i.e. my plate...

    no power to my compressor clutch

    After installing a "new" NOS switch, my compressor won't shut off in any position. After some diag, I found the new switch to be faulty. The "off" position dose not cut power to the compressor. It only works if I press the "off" button, then pull that button back out manually, then the power is...

    timing my 440 TNT

    plate at 16, initial at 18 and light springs-----spark knock at accel in 40-50mph range. I backed off the timing to 15 degrees and only have slight knock at heavy loads, high end acceleration. I filled it with 91 non-ethenol last night and will see if it changes. I will keep tweaking it. The...

    timing my 440 TNT

    Do you think my decision to run the plate at 16, initial at 18 and light springs is a wise one? That theoretically will give me full @34 mech at @1800 and full vacuum advance @49-50 degrees

    timing my 440 TNT

    I did go to @2600 and did not see the advance move but did not go further, maybe a mistake on my part.

    timing my 440 TNT

    Fuel cost is not an issue, my wife owns a gas station!!!! Is it possible that although I think it is stopping advancing at 2000 rpm it is actually coming against the heavy spring, and then going higher later in the rpm range? I need to try it at 3000 rpm I guess. My FBO plate arrives today. I am...
