My car has defeated me... someone bout to get a smoking deal to make it go away .. wahh poor me..ok onto the problem.. Gonna go through what was all done to it before symptoms, will try to be thorough. 1962 small block pushbutton 727 Pump/front drum (the one that rides on the stator, i am not...

So, i decided to go manual and ordered a new 20:1 manual box from PST, it showed up today and on the bench i couldn't move the input shaft by hand, putting on the coupler (bigger diameter) i could turn it but it was very tight til it got near the end of each direction then it loosened up.. I...

So i started my motor for the first time tonight (only for bout 5 seconds... only flare i did was the fuel line.. and it's my only leak. i suck) but.. i noticed with the key on my VR was letting out some magic smoke. It's probably the original from '62 even not it has sat since 1978.. i took it...

Hello, on my '62 recently i was doing something and noticed when i hit the brake pedal the whole MC will flex upwards a bit (like 1/2" if i really press hard) This weekend i was at a guys house who has a 62 he races and he full forced the thing and the MC didn't budge a bit.. Am i missing...

So.. quick question.. i have a '62, pulled the poly and put in a LA 318 but didn't know bout the different water pump that the '62 steering pump mounts to, already got a radiator with the bottom on the passenger side so i was going to make a mount for the '62 pump, i was just curious if it might...

So... the person that was going to do my seats flaked and i can't even get my frames/springs back at this point... I know someone that has a pair of '62 bench seats for sale (If he still has them).. Was just curious if anyone knows if 4 door seats (Mainly the back) will fit? I'm sure i can make...

Hi guys, started working on my trans tonight, got everything cleaned, new seals and rings good to go.. I got a A&A Billet reverse piston (had one blow out the retainer once years ago, never want that again) Problem is they send it in pieces and the directions sheet with it is so faded i can't...

So, i was looking at getting the AR097 front spring hanger to move my axle back an inch (the 62s are way off center and look odd) and i would like to run a 29 or 30" tire if possible.. Last night i measure from the center of the axle to the front and got 16.5" which seems like alot.. and pretty...

So.. ordered axles last night from drdiff so i can put in my 4.57 sure grip (will have to change those gears eventually but for now it will be fun) And i just want to verify that i need to also get later backing plates? Wasn't sure since i will have green bearings and no need for the end play...

Getting ready to put my trans together but missing a few parts still.. on the early 727s the output shaft bearing is all the way at the back of the tailhousing.. would anyone have a part number for that? or is it the same as the mid bearing on the 66+ trans? Could use a new TV rod seal but they...

So i found a mid 70s 727 to scavenge from and grabbed the pump, input shaft and front 2 drums (can never remember which is the direct and forward) Just want to make sure that's all i need to convert to 24 spline? I don't think there is anything else worth swapping from the newer trans... My...

Just wanted to verify this before ordering stuffs.. Transgo lists the tf-2 for all alum 727's but i see web pages selling it like Cope saying 66+ only... can anyone verify that the TF2 works fine in pushbuttons?

Figured i would try here before ordering something new.. Just doing a mild small block with 4.57 gears (for now. might drop to 3.55 depending how much i hate it.. but will be fun for awhile) Looking for a converter but am not enjoying the $800+ price tags :) Hoping someone has something decent...

So i finally got my brake system in and the stainless flex lines for the calipers seem pretty long, they came with the pirate jacks kit.. Thing is, i think if they were shorter they wouldn't be able to make the turn to get into the frame mount, they are pretty stiff. They don't kink or get near...

So.. kept searching for which MC to get exactly and kept being told just get a MC for a 67+ B-body.. went to rock auto and the only ones they show (for 67 coronnet) are all the same which is a RayBestos MC36221 which is this one.. Rock of course doesn't say disc or drum in the listing :( So...

Made a choice already.. post wasn't needed but i can't delete it.. sorry :(

k.. so today got good... a friend just dropped off a free 742 housing with 4.57s in it.. which are WAY more than i wanted (was gonna do like 3.55) but.. i'm not gonna say no to it of course :) I don't highway drive so that's not an issue anyway.. the question is.. 1962 tapered axle rear end with...

Hi guys, was hoping someone with a 62 (63-65 would probably work) split bench could measure the wide of the vinyl around the outside of the cloth insert, like from the edge of the seat in on the bottom and top/ front and back.. My seats didn't have original covers and i'm having some made but...

Just figured i would post this here before finding a scrapper in case anyone can use anything.. 1962 poly.. was parked in 1978 and the owner for some reason pulled the plugs.. so it's locked, i scoped it and it's just surface rust in the cyls. Thought i would post this in case someone wants...

So.. i keep seeing stuff about having to change the k-frame from 62 to the newer angled mounts... is there a reason for this other than using the newer mounts? I know the engine goes back like 1.5" but i don't see why that's a major deal in a beater.. Just don't want to try to hunt one down...
