Was planning on putting the new 727 trans today still am but I was gonna just swap in the “nox control unit”(?) but the threads are all beat up from transport or something but do I really need it. Reading around I see that some people don’t put it on?

Getting ready to put the trans back in the Polara just getting my measurements right so I have some questions 1: should I replace the original flex plate for the 727 since it came off my spare 360. It looked slightly warped but what is a direct replacement for it and what grade hardware should...

Just got my rebuilt 727 and 904 (that I may list for sale if anyone is interested) from the shop and now its time to prepare to plop it in. When I was removing the coolant lines I accidentally twisted one of the stubborn fittings but it was for the best since once of the previous owners swapped...

The car was originally a 318 but one of the previous owners swapped a 360 but I can assume the transmission was kept, which now leaves me here. What would you recommend for torque converters and flex plates or where should I look for advice? If the body length is the same I think I can use the...

Driving back home late the 904 that’s paired to my 360 wouldn’t want to shift out of first and left a trail on fluid from a leak on the main seal caused from what I assume is the flexplate pushing the tq into it and bending the seal in. I have a spare 360 with a 727 from a 4 Door 72 Polara and...

it’s the steering wheel and the inside of the column that shifts

Been something I’ve been dealing with for some time, the whole steering column moves up and down the steering coupler.

The problem is that the seat can’t be pushed in enough for the retainer to clip on

Had my seats reupholstered some time back and my passenger seat tends to fall off of the side pin because it sits flush I’m not sure what to do, I was thinking to either tap and thread a nut and washer but I’m limited in size or to weld a spacer and a washer but then if I had to remove the upper...

Finishing some interior and I needed to change out my driver A pillar plastic piece since mine is missing a chunk where it visible so I got and painted the good one from my 4 door parts car and it just won’t fit like if the windshield is at a different angle than the 2 door.

Hello everyone, I’ve been leaning on eventually building a new engine and transmission for my 72 Polara, as of recent my a904 is taking its sweet time to go into reverse and sometimes drive. The current engine is a 360 and healthy so I’ll drive it till it can’t. But I have an itch for more. I...

Once I get home from work I’ll post one

Looking for a new rear view mirror for my 72 polara that since the original is tarnished all around the edges,

a few weeks ago I drove the car and I got some smoke but complete forgot to go into why and it turns out brake fluid is leaking right onto my exhaust so thank goodness I got home safe but defined do not want to drive it until it’s fixed or changed out completely it looks to come from where the...
