    ProCar Rally 1000 seats?

    I have had these seats for over 10 years and love them. The only issue is the bolster has smashed down and they will not sell me a replacement foam.

    No third gear

    Pulling the transmission will not happen until I am ready to upgrade. I readjusted the shifter linckage and the kick down linckage. I now have full throttle and it has a lot more power down low. I have all three gears. I was two quarts low so it is now running better. Each time I go through...

    No third gear

    I pulled the valve body yesterday. Nothing out of the ordinary in the pan. I cleaned the valve body and air tested the transmission. It took a couple of hits of air to get one of the clutches to actuate. I assume it was stuck from sitting. I got it all back together and it is over reving...

    No third gear

    Every gear works but 3rd. Stock transmission with stock valve body and stock style converter. I am going to pull the valve body in the morning.

    No third gear

    I have 2.94 gears so it isn't rapped tight. The torque converter and transmission where drained before I put it back in the car a month or so ago. The rattle is only under a heavy load at slower speeds.

    No third gear

    I have a 727 with l as than 10k miles on it. I took my car down for winter upgrades and four years later she is back up and running. The motor is rebuilt and running great but I don't have third anymore. I have adjusted the linckage and it shifts into park, reverse and neutral perfectly. To...

    Suspension/steering for corner carver 1967 B project

    Talk to Dick and Firm Feel and see what he says. If you have the weight of your car it will help. So much can be done with stock style suspension. It all depends on how good at cornering you want the car to be.

    Hotchkis Sport Suspension Leaf Spring Install Question

    I can't remember if mine was off by 1/4 or 1/2 an inch side to side. Once around the block and it settled perfectly.

    Centering steering gearbox

    What coupler do you have from the steering shaft to the gear box?
  15. Jim Bob The Dancing Bear

    Want to upgrade steering box.

    I doubt you can go wrong or will be disappointed with either firm feel or borgeson. I switched from manual steering to a borgeson box. The box fit like it should, the coupler they make is a damn nice unit and comes with a good drill bit to drill the shaft with. It was a days work for me but I...
