We had a beautiful drive this morning. As we got close to Warren, however, the skies opened up and we got heavy rain. Well, I'm glad I didn't polish my car too much before I left! The Packard museum was small but nice. Tomorrow is the meeting with the "dream crusher" dyno! We'll see...

Driving some nice roads this morning!

Had a great day meeting up with folks and driving Watkins Glen - thanks for all who came!

Great progress! I hope I don't need to borrow your trans table after the dyno session! :lol:

Well, the 'ol girl as ready as she'll be for the trip. I didn't get the A/C valve installed so the A/C is still down, but everything else checks out OK. Heck, I didn't even wash the winter dust, dirt (and even some rain) off of the car since I'll almost certainly be driving in the rain tomorrow...

I'm sure you'll have it purring like a kitten! I hope the JB weld repair holds...

Welcome from PA!

I have a factory Air Grabber and HOW DARE YOU!!! :mob: :lol: Seriously, nicely done and made to work! Impressive what a little ingenuity can do! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the wakeup Doug. I wasn't thinking right in my earlier post. We use the viton material for the valve seals, not Teflon. If I remember right, I think Teflon makes the stems too dry? Anyway, use the viton seals, much better than umbrella seals.

I would use the teflon seals - much better. Are you sure they are 3/8 and not 5/16? Did you lube the seal a little bit to test? (They should have break in fluid on the seals and in the guides when installing them) If the valve stem/seal is lubed up the stem usually moves pretty easily. As far...

Sounds like a great suggestion - thanks! :thumbsup: Join us if you'd like!

Ed: His first statement is: "I just noticed this and can't tell from the service manual pics" :lol:

No, there is no nut. It is always under pressure from the clutch fork pushing forward. Here's mine (it was unadjusted at this point in the build though, and no clip yet on the front of the rod, but you get the idea)

I've driven across Germany on the autobahn 3 times. Twice in a Saab 900 Turbo (nice car and handled the speed well), and once in a brand new Volkswagen Passat station wagon. My wife and I were on our honeymoon in 1987 and the Passat was a rental car we picked up in Sweden. It had under 100...

Harry, Thanks for posting your story, and I'm very glad to hear you are on the other side of this and that all looks good for the future. We hope to see you again at the tent this year! Be well!

Yup, you got 'em! Now all you need is the bracket. It's available if you look it up on-line and not very expensive.

I hope she drinks regularly now. Mopars don't like to be dry!!! :thumbsup:

I'll see if I can find a picture. Many 727 transmission tail shafts did NOT have this boss on them. It is near the speedo gear and has two holes. In these two holes bolts a L bracket that has a nylon bushing. The shaft of the console shifter goes through this. My explanation above is probably...

One other thing to think about. If the OPs current car is an auto on the column, and he plans to put in a floor shifted console, then he'll need the transmission tail shaft bracket that holds the shifter rod under the car. Also, not all tail shafts have the boss on them to bolt that bracket, so...

AND new fuel injectors! :icon_fU:
