Sounds like this is the book for me. Would like to swap a '68 case for a 71. The 68 was already rebuilt so my thought is I can just move the parts from one case to the other. Sound reasonable or am I missing something? Never touched the inside of a transmission before so sounds like a huge...
Thank you. The torque shaft I have is the same, along with the matching frame bracket. On mine the frame bracket isn't attached in the normal spot though. It's welded on so it sits higher up. If I bolted it in the normal position I don't think the front rod from the steering column will...
Thank you for the link. Nailed it exactly. 68 trans doesn't have the mounting point. Curious what the pre-70 linkage looks like. Guess the relationship between the steering column and the trans location must be that different.
Tranny shop pointed out my torque shaft frame bracket has been broken/cut off and welded causing some shift issues because the alignment doesn't allow the correct adjustment. More I look I don't believe the torque shaft assembly is correct. I have a straight shaft and everything I see looks...
Appreciate the comments, worked like a charm. Moved the accel back and hopped the wires over one. Much better. Pinging is gone and top end seems quieter. Most importantly it's no longer trying to poison me in the garage. Old one was set at 24 advance at idle and was still only 24 all in...
Thank you! Being my first time changing distributor or even timing an engine (should have put that in my original post) I was thinking I needed the wires in exactly the same positions on the cap as before. I think I can turn the distributor back far enough to just move the wires ahead one and...
Swapped out my old Proform distributor for a new Proform. Mechanical advance wasn't working on the old one (long story). When I took the old one out I was 10 deg advanced at idle, vacuum disconnected and plugged. I dropped the new one in, rotor in same position, car fires up no problem and...
My GTX has been a perfect weather driver and the new road rash every time I drive it pains me greatly. But we're moving to NE and it had to get there somehow! Left Tuesday morning and did 300+ miles. Stayed off interstate so that added 1-1/2 hours. But what a time it was! Wow was it hot out...
Got a few hundred miles since rebuild. Driver's side sounds like a sewing machine when going down the road. Was reading this post wondering if no oil to the rockers could be the problem? Noise sounds like it's up high. Can I pull the valve cover and coil wire, crank it over and verify...
