Wow nice!! thanks for the info. I'll be looking today for the Pan today, I'll post more as I get the parts in.

Has anyone used the A518, A618, transmission pan on a A727, if so do you like it? also does it hang low (my Coronet is lowered in the front) does it drag? and lastly they say you don't need a trans filter extension with this pan on a A727 I'm worried that under acceleration or hard turns the...

Nice Charger!! Love drivers.

thanks will do!

Thank you! That is great information! I will update this as I get the parts.

Does anyone know if the new style A518 Ribbed trans pan will fit my 1969 Coronet w/383? I know it will bolt up, but will I need to buy an extension for the filter pick up? Also will the pan hang too low (my dodge is lower 1 inch in the front). Or any other recommendations for a perpetually...

I'm a purist all the way, lol... but I would say save the old master cylinder in a box for future rebuild/use when you go to concourse restore the car. (aren't we all?) but the dual MC is far safer for everyday driving and stopping (a very important part, lol) :)

I have a few torque wrenches, foot lbs.(big and small), and the old bar or beam style, a degree wheel, and am in the market for an inch lbs. torque wrench....a lot of people will say just tighten it "until it feels right" and hardly ever use a torque wrench, the best mechanics I know use a...

I had a sound like a click behind my 69 Coronet dash, it turned out to be the leads (posts) on the back of my Amp gauge had melted/shorted out against the metal backing of the Amp gauge. very glad I found it. I could only imagine what would have happened if I had not! I would recommend checking...

So this next day off I'm going to replace the master cylinder my 1969 Dodge Coronet 440 with a factory big block 383, and manual drum brakes. The previously Master cylinder lasted about 14 years which is pretty good, however it rusted over with in the first week that I had it on the car. It...

Thanks I should have mentioned that I checked that, It is definitely the pan gasket all other places show no signs of leakage, I replaced the shifter seal years ago also when that started leaking but not the cause now, Lol Yes Wow that is hanging LOW I would rip that thing off in about two...

Welcome aboard from So-Cal! Beautiful Savoy!! I used to live on Pass Rd in Biloxi years ago!

Anyone have any ideas on how to keep my 727 from marking its spot? Its been a constant battle with my 69 Coronet (fac. 383 w/727). I have used both cork and "reusable" rubber. I have checked the mounting flange on the trans, GTG no nicks and is straight. I suspect the Pan as I have had to...

As a young guy I once replaced the rear main seal in my 1969, 383 Coronet w/727. Once done I jumped into the Dodge cranked it up and proudly looked under the car to view my handy work......only to find a growing puddle of 10W-30 under it?! Yes, you guessed it, a $3.00 oil pressure sending unit...

where is the crack? how long is it?? also is it a truck 413 engine? Thanks
