Ok, got her out and checked all the fluids and just now realized that the 727 was very low. Just added 3 quarts to finally top her off....and she drives and shifts fantastic. Kick down link is spot on and I'll get her aligned Monday. Such a journey! FBBO was there for us the whole time and its just great that you fine folks added the extra know how to make this work. All through 2020-1 we worked on this car to bring it back from certain death and she now turns heads and makes people remember what made this country great. Style, power and guts. Thanks A-Team, we moved the clock back a few years and put real-steel back on the road!

I'd like to say though, the Cranky, YY1, Fran Blacker, moparedtn, Paul Boucher and a ton of others really put in some smart and detailed help on this project.

I really enjoy the time we have with these cars and hope they remain on the road for as long as they can.

Decided to take the plunge on the heater / AC box. First treasure of the day was this Sambo’s match book!




…..so the original owner stated that the only time the car ever really left Alexandria, MN was to open a Sambo’s in Temple Tx back in 73. I guess this proves it

[Durandal25]

This was my Souvenir last Spring when I did my HVAC box! Not sure if it's 50 years old, but close enough.

 

[Durandal25]

Well, questions

how the hell does this core come out?

Found this one in the defrost Vent tube

Maybe they thought it would improve the overall smell of the car!
