Thanks for confirming that for me! I’m going to assume it’s the original block from the car then (also a 66). I ended up finding another Mopar intake on Facebook marketplace based on the advice in this thread and got that all mounted up. Got it running last May or so and drove it through the...

Happy to report we now have gears and parking back! Thats all it was; lever needed to hook into the valve again. The ball on the rooster was still in place when I pulled the valve body, too! Surprisingly

Thanks both! This makes a lot more sense then why I have no gears, and no park with that valve stuck in one place and the arm unable to go far enough over to engage park. What’s bizarre is I feel like the detent ball never came out (somehow). When manually shifting at the tranny with the shift...

Looks like I found the issue. This little lever needs to get back in between this valve rod (I don’t know what else to call it). Here’s photos of what it should look like vs what mine looks like. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get it back in there while touching as little as possible...

I just found a thread that sounds JUST like my issue. When I let that kickdown shaft drop in half an inch, I bet things misaligned internally. Sounds like the valve body will be coming out tonight! Ha! Great photos in this thread, too: a bit of help please with 727 transmission

Thanks all. Re: fluid and pumping. It was well over full on the stick before starting, and dry once the car was running. I worked it up to reading at a good level when running. Was hoping low fluid caused the issue but doesn’t seem to be the case. Re: torque converter. I triple checked that it...

Hi all! I’m just wrapping up my 440 rebuild, and it’s back in the car and humming along! During the process, I pulled the perfectly working 727 to swap a few seals. Well, it was perfectly working until now… I changed both the input and output shaft seals, as well as the obvious pan gasket...

That’s great - I’ll probably grab it then. Thanks for the note. This is my block stamp, which I was assuming was original to the car (1966), but now the H is leading me to think it’s a 1972. Learning lots about Mopars through this rebuild!

Hey all, found an old one locally I might grab. Looks like a 70’s manifold so it sounds like it’ll work for the Holley carb. Can anyone confirm?

I also found this adapter. Looks a bit more flexible. Not sure if this would do the trick or not: Large Base 4-BBL To Small Base 4-BBL Carburetor Adapter Kit – Ported I’m not trying to get high performance out of the car. Summer cruiser, fairly tame stocker rebuild

Would this be a straight swap in? Edelbrock 2191 This seems like my cheapest aftermarket option (based in Canada). Says it fits 66 onward RB 440’s. My car is a 66, and I want to believe the engines original. Edelbrock 2191 Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifolds | Summit Racing Forgive me for...

Thanks all for the quick feedback! You’re right that it is a 66. Sounds like I need to hunt for a manifold and that I’m not going to be able to make an adapter work. I wish I hadn’t spent all that time sand blasting and prepping my current one, but ya live and learn, haha. I was trying to keep...

Flipping it causes even more issues unfortunately. Doesn’t seat up properly

Hi all, I’m trying to mount a Holley 4160 onto a stocker 440 intake, but the carb has a wider stud pattern than the intake. I grabbed a carb adapter (Mr Gasket # 1932) which fits both bolt patterns, but the problem is, it seems to be designed to fit only one way: wider intake bolt pattern and...
