    Summit Brand Headers???

    I see you already got your headers in. I put on a set of Summit's stainless with 3" collector. I wrapped them with the fiberglass header tape before install. I did use an inexpensive gasket and have had a slight leak, but when I pull the motor this summer to replace sesls and gaskets, I will...

    TransGo shift kit install...

    Oooo doggies...what a puddle, this morning. Grabbed a wrench and slid under. Them pan bolts were barely finger tight. I knew a cork gasket would compress a bit after initial run...no big deal. Just retorqued them. I'm sure I'll have to do it again after the next run. I had to last time I changed...

    TransGo shift kit install...

    Update: The local parts house ordered a trans oil filter and I went this morning to pick it up. Paid for it and started to drive away, but this little voice told me to take a look at it. So I opened the box and the filter was not square like the one I pulled out. The edge of the filter material...

    TransGo shift kit install...

    Thanks again. I really do appreciate the insight. Yea, I thought it was strange that the original balls could compress. But then, what better way to get a seal than to use a hard rubber ball to seal. I am familiar with the dk brown balls, but I don't have them. So I guess the steel one will...

    I still have the original balls. Are they supposed to be "compressable".? They are about as soft as a hockey puck. I do have 4 ceramic balls. I thought about putting them in, instead of steel. I just didn't know what kind of fluid induced impact they would encounter. Fortunately,it won't be...

    TransGo shift kit install...

    Initially, I wasn't going to tear into the tranny today, but it really got nice after lunch and nothing else was on the agenda. Got everything tore apart and springs swapped out. I couldn't believe it...The original 4 check balls are freaking plastic. Plastic! I mean, what could of possibly been...

    TransGo shift kit install...

    I had seen some videos of older guys talking about drilling holes and milling out slots to modify it for racing. Our goal is to use it to pull a 19' to 22' camper. I'm not looking for any wheel chirping or burnies...lol

    TransGo shift kit install...

    It's a TH350. The shift kit does not require removal. Only the valve body and govenor needs removed.

    TransGo shift kit install...

    Over the winter I picked a Quadrajet as an exact numbers replacement/backup. I called Cliff to get his kit and we got to chatting. I shared my intent for the Big10 and he suggested a TransGo 1&2 shift kit. Depending on the springs installed will dictate the personality; street or...

    Air Filter Breather

    I don't think height is much of an issue. Even with the lid flipped over, I have at least 4" between hood and breather lid. I will let ya'll know when I hear from DVAP.

    Air Filter Breather

    That would work as long as it has the carb tabs.

    Air Filter Breather

    So...the snorkle on the replacement does not matter....because, I am going to remove the snorkle altogether and patch over the opening and make it look nice.

    Air Filter Breather

    This one is mine. You can see the arrows point to the 2 tabs that locates the breather to the carb.

    Air Filter Breather

    Mine is an original. It has a short rubber hose going from the passenger valve cover to the air breather to vent crankcase. It also has a small vacuum line that operates a damper that pulls air from the passenger exhaust manifold stove when engine is cold, then flips to cold air after warm up...

    Air Filter Breather

    I have an account on "pull-a-part" and have set up email notifications for vehicles I'm interested in. The only issue I have had with it...a huge delay between the time a vehicle hits the yard and the email notification. 2 to 3 weeks is a typical delay. The other hiccup is I have never seen any...

    thread size for door lock knobs?

    Last year, I needed to remove the door panel and the lock knob needed to come off as well. No matter what I ttied, the knob wouldn't budge. I was ready to just take a hammer to it. At a last desperate act I referenced a repair manual. The manual referenced a tool number, so I went online and...
