Hello, I am getting ready to replace my speedo cable on my 65 Satellite with 727 push button transmission. How much fluid will come out? Do I need to drain it if I jack up the back of the car? Also, Are there any tricks that I should know about swapping over the speedo gear?

Hello everyone, I just installed the correct alternator bracket system for my 65 Satellite with a 440. I also installed the 2 groove crank pulley and the no A/C water pump pulley set from 440 Source. Everything looks good and there is about 1/3" to 1/2" gap between the power steering belt and...

Hey all, I recently fixed a few oil leaks on my 727 and replaced the park cover gasket and park cable retainer bolt. I think my parking lock is just barely dragging because when I roll forward there is a light sounding fast clicking noise now. What is the proper procedure for adjusting the park...

Hello everyone, I have a 440 that after driving would drip out about a half cup of oil in the garage. I changed the rear main with a Fel-Pro 2 piece seal and used the blue side seals and used RTV. I followed the instructions on this forum exactly. Now it is way better but I will still get...

Hello, I am chasing a leak and I went to look for the rod hole that usually leaks and gets blamed on the pan gasket. The one at the rear that has an o-ring in it. Well, my 1964 727 does not have it, however it has this weird bolt above the parking lock cover that will spin both ways but will not...

Hey everyone, I just replaced the starter on my 440. It was a pain! I got a mini starter for a dodge Dakota like everyone loves to do. The back of it is very close to the Headman header. Is this OK? It's not touching. Maybe a 1/4" gap at most. And yes, that is a broken spark plug lol.

Hello, I have a neutral balance tc on my cast crank 73 motor home 440. I do have the weighted harmonic balancer but I still have a little vibration. I need to weld the weights on my tc. I don't want to get the new compensated flex plate because I don't want to pull out the trans, I want to weld...

Hello, On a cast crank 440, I want to make sure my torque converter is in the right spot. What position should the weight be in if say the harmonic balancer is at TDC? OR can it only bolt on 1 way? From the research I've done it looks like it can go in 4 different postions?

Hey everyone, I removed a gear drive and installed a Comp Cams double roller chain. My marks are right on but now the vehicle vibrates when revving the engine and the idle rpm was at 1000 now its at 1200. It always had a slight vibration like if the harmonic balancer was going out but now it's a...

Hello, I am replacing this gear drive with a chain. When I install the chain do I need to use the little bearing looking thing I'm holding in the picture? And I did not see an oil slinger plate behind the crank seal. Do I need to get one or can I reassemble it without?

Hello everyone, I'm replacing the transmission mount in my 65 satellite 727. The mount in my car is different then the mount that all the parts stores say I have. Please see the pictures and hopefully tell me what mount I need to buy. 2 pics of my mount and 1 pic of the new mount that everyone...

Hello everyone, I just replaced my mounts on the 440 and I'm tired of tearing the driver mount so I installed this chain since I've seen so many people do it. Do the mount locations look OK? I don't want to break the ear off the block! Also, I left just a very slight jingle of slack so the mount...

Hello everyone, Ever since I changed over to 20w50 VR-1 with a black WIX filter on my 440 my oil pressure light comes on randomly while driving. I have a mechanical gauge too and it is always good with around 40 psi at idle 50 at cruise and 60 under load. Could the sending unit for the light...

*Engine specs and new questions in post #5. Hey everyone, I have a 72 440 that has a gear drive in it. I bought a timing chain kit from Summit that I want to install because the gear drive is just not my thing. Is there anything I need to look out for? Can you even go back to a timing chain...
