Has anyone used the A518, A618, transmission pan on a A727, if so do you like it? also does it hang low (my Coronet is lowered in the front) does it drag? and lastly they say you don't need a trans filter extension with this pan on a A727 I'm worried that under acceleration or hard turns the...
Does anyone know if the new style A518 Ribbed trans pan will fit my 1969 Coronet w/383? I know it will bolt up, but will I need to buy an extension for the filter pick up? Also will the pan hang too low (my dodge is lower 1 inch in the front). Or any other recommendations for a perpetually...
I'm a purist all the way, lol... but I would say save the old master cylinder in a box for future rebuild/use when you go to concourse restore the car. (aren't we all?) but the dual MC is far safer for everyday driving and stopping (a very important part, lol) :)
I have a few torque wrenches, foot lbs.(big and small), and the old bar or beam style, a degree wheel, and am in the market for an inch lbs. torque wrench....a lot of people will say just tighten it "until it feels right" and hardly ever use a torque wrench, the best mechanics I know use a...
I had a sound like a click behind my 69 Coronet dash, it turned out to be the leads (posts) on the back of my Amp gauge had melted/shorted out against the metal backing of the Amp gauge. very glad I found it. I could only imagine what would have happened if I had not! I would recommend checking...
So this next day off I'm going to replace the master cylinder my 1969 Dodge Coronet 440 with a factory big block 383, and manual drum brakes. The previously Master cylinder lasted about 14 years which is pretty good, however it rusted over with in the first week that I had it on the car. It...
Thanks I should have mentioned that I checked that, It is definitely the pan gasket all other places show no signs of leakage, I replaced the shifter seal years ago also when that started leaking but not the cause now, Lol Yes Wow that is hanging LOW I would rip that thing off in about two...
Anyone have any ideas on how to keep my 727 from marking its spot? Its been a constant battle with my 69 Coronet (fac. 383 w/727). I have used both cork and "reusable" rubber. I have checked the mounting flange on the trans, GTG no nicks and is straight. I suspect the Pan as I have had to...
As a young guy I once replaced the rear main seal in my 1969, 383 Coronet w/727. Once done I jumped into the Dodge cranked it up and proudly looked under the car to view my handy work......only to find a growing puddle of 10W-30 under it?! Yes, you guessed it, a $3.00 oil pressure sending unit...

this is what I was looking for as far as the era and the rollbar setup, Google "58 type chassis research" with a small block unblown but with full width main rails about 110 in. Lol that's was the idea now...a 383, but I need...
Great Information!! Thank you!! now I have a lot more homework to do, I agree with the 383/glide idea and with 361 stickers that is great! although I have seen the short shaft Big block 727's at the junkyard in RV's? But I already have the glide. what do you think?......and love the straight...
Years ago I rebuilt a Ford AOD transmission with the TCI "Street Fighter" rebuild kit for my then owed 1990 5.0L LX Mustang (yes I used the F word sorry. Lol) I had no problems, it worked well and I was hard on that poor thing, however mine was a street driven car with very low power!
For a few years now I've been gathering parts for a Front engine dragster I want to build, I would like to build it to "as raced" in the early 1960's. If you have seen Tommy Ivo's twin engine dragster that's the rollbar style I'm looking to do, (might only be allowed to run exhibition??) So...
You got to love So-Cal car finds, No rust after sitting with the windows down for 20 years not even in the trunk..Lol Just watch for hibernating wildlife! The Black Widows around here are incredible in their veracity!!! let alone the Mojave Green Rattlesnake if the car is in the High Desert...
