Thanks, all, need photobucket link Thanks for the help. Photobucket link would be appreciated. My email is gray@americanpowertrain.com if you would prefer to send the link there. What have you got planned for your car?

Well, folks, I need some big time help. About two years ago when I started project 'Ragnet one of the old timers in my shop pulled every last bit of window stuff out of my '66 convertible and assured me he would know how to put it all back together. Fast forward to March, 2014 and he hasn't...

Bringing 'er home. Time to start filling it up with parts! - - - Updated - - - Stunning Blue, deeper than I would have imagined it could be... Thanks PPG!!!!!

Going to get 'er this morning from Milestone. I can hardly wait!

I have been working on a highly customized 1966 Coronet Convertible for about two years and the car is finally coming out of paint today. Jacob Miles at Milestone Custom Body and Paint layered on the PPG Viper Blue Pearl paint with 8 coats of clear. Tim Strange lent a lot of knowledge and labor...

6-speed experts Hello Roman, Call us at American Powertrain. We can either set you up with a complete kit including the transmission, or help you install a used or rebuilt one. I am putting a Magnum 6-speed in my 66 Coronet Convertible right now behind a 505 stroker Wedge. I also put...

Atf? I thought this thing might use ATF, but someone on another forum indicated that the specs changed around 1966. Very frustrating.

I am repairing a leaking seal on the hydraulic cylinders for my 66 Coronet convertible top. The system has lost most of its fluid. I have asked a number of people what fluid goes back in the system and I have had all kinds of answers from ATF, to brake fluid, to light hydraulic fluid from...

Thanks for the welcome! Thanks for the welcome. We are relatively small compared to Keisler and we spend most of our marketing budget online and on our website. We also go to quite a few live shows. Sorry for the off topic everyone. Back to the subject at hand. :grin:

Good Keisler Feedback Every company has it's successes, and I would certainly not say that the biggest seller of Mopar TKO kits did not have some great things going for it. That does not mean, however, that there are not companies out there doing a better job. I am happy to hear you had a...

The Meaning of Service When I mentioned service in my post I was referring to reactivity to customer needs. We have a 24-hour tech line, available on nights, weekends and holidays when many DIY guys are under their cars. We stock almost everything you might need if you bugger up a part, or...

Agree and disagree TRUE I disagree. Up to about 6200rpm the Tremec TKO (Keisler does not make any transmissions) can be speed shifted. You may have driven a few older TKOs that did not have micro-finished lugs, which made the 2-3 shift a chore. Also, if you are using a Keisler hydraulic...

Saw Passon at SEMA I spoke with Jamie Passon at SEMA a few days ago. Wow, what a straight-up guy. My company competes with Passon since we sell TKO kits for Mopars, but I have to say that I have rarely met anyone in the aftermarket business who treats people with as much respect and honesty...

Passon OD vs OE OD, con't The reason they make this claim is that the gear cutting and quality of currently available alloys give them a significant edge in strength over the original equipment OD. As I said in an earlier post, the OD versions of any of the older transmissions from the Big3...

4-Speed OD Well, actually I was speaking in general. Let me say that I have the utmost respect for Passon and its products. They make some very, very fine transmissions and parts. That being said, the way a car performs based on gear ratios is not a question of quality but rather a question...
