Check for exhaust leaks. Mike

Up in my neighborhood it used to get down as low as -40* and tens of thousands of people would drive their standard transmission vehicles to work on those cold mornings! Mike

The only way to know is to check the angles. Mike

I just wanted to add a tip for fellas using the Autometer water temp gauge (electric). Buy another sender unit for the trans and wire the two senders to a DPDT toggle switch. Now you have one temp gauge to read either coolant or transmission fluid. Mike

I agree. Mike

Looks like you have another rebuild to do Doug. Mike

I have used Permatex #2 for over 50 years now. Mike

What engine do you have? Mike

Did it shift OK before the reseal? Who replaced the seals? Was it a quick and dirty seal job? Could be a dirt issue. You need to check pressures to properly diagnose your issues. Were the clutch seals replaced too? We need lots of info here! Mike

Flexible dip stick - JEGS High Performance Mike

I first learned about driveline angles in 1970 after braking two extension housings and a bell housing! I had a 63 Savoy with a 59 413 and "cast iron" torque flite. Some of my dad's buddies did the swap for me while I was at school. I was studying drive lines at the time! I really wished I had...

I use the RPM heads on my 493 with a solid lifter Hughes cam and valve train. Works great! Mike

The school purchased a balancer shortly after I graduated. Mike

Is anything wrong with the existing cam? Use it if not. The quest for more power is only limited by finances/will to spend! Mike

That would scare me. I learned to grind crankshafts in college. In fact I spent a full year in Auto Machine at Ferris State in 1971. Mike

Mine last one was .012" out of concentricity. I used RobbMc dowls to relocate. Mike
