    OH @#$%!!! Trans Leak At Throttle Shaft Seal! @#$%! @#$%!! @#$%!!!

    Even after all that,I'm still not un-pissed. OK,gentlemen...How difficult is it to replace the throttle shaft seal on a Torqueflite? What was a very slight leak has turned into a @#$%ing gusher,and it looks like it's at the t.s. seal. The manual really isn't thorough in its explanation,so I...

    Bushing 1.094 Rods For .990 Pins?

    Ok...a discussion with a buddy started this. I've got a set of Six-Pack(1.094" pin) rods and a good used set of Venolia +.030 pistons with .990" pins. The question,as you've figured out, is this: Can the larger pin rods be bushed for a .990 pin safely? Would the extra material in the bushing...

    Hooker Header Fitment Question

    Here's the deal... Guy on CL has a set of Hookers,PN5903,1-7/8" for 67-up B-body with a B/RB mill. He pulled them off a 1970 RR440-6bbl. and told me that he had no clearance/fit issues. I'd like to try them in the '64 with the planned 440(or maybe 493...);they're one of the only 1-7/8" pipes...

    750 Holley electric choke hookup to INSTR fuse?.

    Yes;I did search old threads for info,but...I was wondering if I can hook up my positive wire on my electric choke to the "INSTR"(instrument panel?) fuse on the fuse box? I don't have an extra "accessories" fuse spot. I tried the cigar lighter-no good,as it's ALWAYS hot. I'm already using the...

    Short Spark Plugs For Header Clearance?

    Moving along with the further adventures of the Polish Caveman and Sabrina... So,I went to install spark plugs after the header installation. Well...no problems with #'s 1 and 7(haven't got to the other side yet),but there ain't no way that they're going to clear on #'s 3 and 5. No room for...

    So,I went to put a '91 Dakota/360 starter on the Sport Fury,cuz da headers hit on the OEM big-*** starter. Got it into position and...it won't seat! It seems that the nose(?) hits the inside of the trans case,and the solenoid contacts on the block. A comparison: I wanted to see if it fit...

    Later 727 in '64 B-body-What OEM driveshaft to use?

    OK guys;it's looking like I'll have to replace the trans in the '64.:yes: The cost to rebuild it would rival the cost of a good aftermarket unit and I was planning on going to a later style unit anyway. My question: What driveshaft should I look for,as far as an OEM unit? It's got a 489 c.s...

    All right,which way does this go on?

    Moving along quite nicely on the rear axle assembly. The pig is in the housing(another thread...) and we're ready to install the backing plates,axles,brakes,etc. Which way does the metal seal that goes between the backing plate and the housing flange go on-raised area towards the housing or the...

    8-3/4" axle shaft seal question

    Hey folks;need an answer to "what is this piece?" It came off the axle shaft-one of them-that were getting new bearings installed on. The problem is the seal(can't find a listing for one-though I found a PDF file that may help) and the threaded sleeve arrangement that either holds the seal in or...

    Will '64 axles work with a 489 case Sure Grip?

    Will original '64 axles mate up with a 489 case Sure-Grip,as far as splines go? The original r&p have noticeable play,and since the car's up on stands for brake work,I may as well look at replacing the center section. Which means I'll be looking for another 489 case for the 3.91 gears I planned...
