68 727 FILTER QUESTION

[stain]

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 stock location? Does the stock filter just bolt to the bottom of the valve body directly?

It just bolts to the valve body. No gaskets or stand offs.

Thanks, you dont happen to know the bolt size/length that holds the filter to valve body do you?

I think they are 10-24, but I could be wrong.

Here's some on eBay MOPAR 904/727 TORQUEFLITE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER MOUNTING BOLTS OEM | eBay

THANKS.

I looked around a bit on the intrawebs and 10-24 does look to be correct. I can't find the correct length though. It seems to me that they are an odd length. Too long and the bolts will bottom out and not hold the filter. 1 1/8" long maybe??

You might be time and money ahead to just buy the ones on eBay.

I can run next door and measure some with my calipers.
