Dennis;damn near was! Success! I also discovered something else that may help others. It went back together,put the header back in place,hooked up the exhaust,went to fire it up and... Nothing. No start. Hmmm...dropped the pan again to check levers and ****. I'm looking up and see that the...

Resq302;this year trans had the washer(a thick one) under the shaft lever;it's even mentioned in the manual. The "o-ring" I added was just placed over the shaft,then the washer and lever over that. I added it to just retain and keep some pressure on the seal.

...I'm back... After finding a metric to standard conversion chart(my 1/4' drive torque wrench is calibrated in Kg-cm) I'm ready to tighten the valve body. It went back in relatively easy,but pushed the seal out. I slid it back down the shaft(ooh baby,ooh baby...)and back into place. Yes,I did...

Alright then...the valve body is out;not the PITA I had expected. Here's the old seal and a new one;yeah;it's a leaker for sure. Now to the install and reassembly. I've saved all sorts of rubber seals that have come my way;I've looked at a couple as potential substitutes that may seal better...

Thanks,Gary. That black pad is thicker than a gasket though;that why I wondered. Going back at it this morning.

OK,the valve body is ready to come out. Hanging up on something;perhaps the shaft not wanting to come out of the seal. Didn't want to force it;I'll deal with it tomorrow. As far as that;the little black seal pictured looks like the correct piece for this application. I'll let you know how the...

Thanks,Gary. Wasn't aware of another seal-an outer one,from what you describe. There's nothing in the manual about replacing this(WTF?),so I'm asking the crew here: Anyone have a diagram/picture/breakdown to show me(and anyone else) what being dealt with here? Oh,Gary,the seal is about 1/2" wide.

Hello again. Damn,has it been a year? Well,the car has pretty much sat since then;other stuff took precedence. Back to the issue at hand. The seal that needs replacing is a small rubber seal(that's what I got at my local auto part store;these guys are a local outfit and are knowledgeable and...

Excuse my butting in(maybe it will help someone else),but...my stuff is mounted solid(rod from trans mounted solid to bracket from carb linkage);should I fix that and go back to having movement(pin moving back and forth in the slotted part of the rod) in the linkage? The trans rod is slotted,but...

Don't know if this will offer any help,but here's what I did on the '64. Not sure what year this stuff is,but ya work with what you've got-including what's lying around the nut/bolts/random stuff stash.

Steve;I'm interested! Thanks;I'm planning on putting out a post about a new trans/shifter problem that recently cropped up and replacing this may or may not help/solve the problem. I won't get into it here as it's a bit complicated-which means "weird...". What are you asking on this?

Looking for a Park/Neutral safety switch for a 1964 big-block 727,floor-shift model. These are not available from normal auto parts stores;Standard Industries does not either produce or carry this. The numbers on the (Mopar)switch are "2496133" with a "264" stamped vertically on one of the hex...

Shorty;we may know each other,depending on how long,and where you served your sentence at Buick. I was there from 1977 until 2000;when they shut down Engineering,I transferred,along with a lot of other people,to Saginaw Mental Casting. Breaks my effing heart to go by there(or AC,or Chevy...) and...

I watched that. Good God,man;Philly looked like they could do whatever they wanted out there. Mr. Kelly brought some inspiration to that team with his new offensive scheme. Defensive coordinators throughout the league started a regimen of heavy drinking,especially those in the NFC East.

Lions won. Raiders lost. Already starting out as a strange season.

This fellow broke-*** retiree concurs. Good to know old age has not dulled your senses.

I still live just west of town. It is pretty much utter devastation. I'll go around someday and get pics of where the plants used to stand and give you people an idea of what it's like around here now. I'll get some pics of a few other formerly prosperous businesses that have fallen because of a...

No I haven't found one,and I do think I'll check the aftermarket. Thanks,guys!!!

Looking for a decent(chrome-wise) door mirror or a nice pair. Lost the head to one of mine going down the road;need to either find a head or a complete mirror. Would consider a decent pair. Thanks,folks!
