Been looking into the TPKD systems, there are 2 different styles (early 70 and back--and late 71 and up). Just wanting to ask which is better for a street cruiser/ driver (with a 2 barrel carb and 3.23 gears if that matters) Is there much difference between the two designs ?
I contacted " tflite patty" he told me that I could add PTKD to my 62 PB 727, buy using a 1968 upper VB and mating to the 1962 seperator plate and lower1962 VB...and the the 1971 PTKD valve block would work with that modification. I would also need to install a 5/8odx5/16id bushing into the...
I'm looking for a stock unmodified 1968 727 valve body..actually , all I really need is the upper half with all the valves in it. My transmission connection passed away about 4 years ago. So what should I expect to pay for one ? 1968.
Thanks, I've also been looking into doing the PTKD update. I do have a 1971 727 with PTKD that I can use for parts (PTKD & 24 spline stuff) My trans is a 1962 pushbutton. Thanks for all the help.
From what I've found, the car should weigh 3600-3650, as for the 19 spline thing. I have the parts to update to 24 spline system. So if I update the splines in the trans, I would need to get a converter (reason for asking my question)
Got a question about the Stock 727 (wide ring and narrow ring) torque converters. I see about a 200 rpm difference in the stall speeds. How much of a performance change does that make ? What about how it would effect towing and even fuel mileage.
Might be able to get a 68 Newport for parts. How close would the rear axle Assy be to fitting in my 62 Belvedere ? Overall width and spring pearch width ? would be nice upgragde to have the flanged axles.
You seem to know a lot about PB 727s. Was the an issuse of different sized converter pilot hub sizes in the early 60's TorqueFlites ? That's funny 600hp, my 318 poly would be proud to hear that :)
What upgrades can be done to a 1962 Push Button 727 ? I also have a 1969-1971 ? PTKD 727 that I can rob for parts (if they will fit / and are an upgrade) This is just a driver / no race car here !
