Years ago when putting new tires and rims and chrome lugs on my 64 polara a tire and wheel shop could not find lefthand lugs for passenger side so thay put new RH studs to install new tires and rims, Well those new studs had splines that stuck out past the hub and when the drum went back on it...

After two warm up cycles and topping off with fluid and back in the garage for the night it seems that this pan and gasket installation was a success. I have to say that its nicer to have a better pan than a factory steel pan. Cast aluminum with a drain plug is a nice option to have. Thanks to...

Well, its 10:45 am and she been sitting static and cold full of fluid for bout 18 hours or so. Pan and gasket is leak free. Going to fire up and warm her up and start looking, will have to add just a bit of fluid to top off and hope all is good. Ill report back later this evening.

Finally getting warmer in the day in TN but the rain and wind is kicking are *** here. Got the REAL GASKET TENNESSE on couple days ago and torqued up, I filled the tranny up today. She been dry as a bone for 7 hours and been looking good. Now some people say CLEAN AND DRY some say RTV the hell...

Thats great to hear feedback on the positive HWYCRZR because most is good for REAL G. I'm hoping I have luck and have good results. I want quality parts from USA. Don't want crap on my 69, I want to have a good time not problems with fixing a 50 year old car all the time with chi crap.

Thanks Alrui, I do the same, I sneak up on my fluid levels when topping off and warming up. I hope that this works first time, leaks are the worst. Tanks.

Good looking gasket, gonna follow their instructions on the install as both of you also, DRY and clean. Thay even bold letter DRY on instructions. Torque says 20 to 25 in/lbs also. At least I can redo with some sealant if first time doesn't work. Still have clean fluid to put back in, lost a 1/2...

Drained trans last week so leaks would stop while waiting for real gasket to arrive. Haven't dropped pan yet eighter till I'm ready to seal and refill. REAL G says no sealant is needed but I'm thinking I should anyway. Also warmer temps in a few days here in TN will help, its cold here. Torque...

Found website, realgaskets.com day got aryting fo yo mopo gaskget needs. Tanks again fellas.

69 Polara 500 vert, has a nice aftermarket pan, TCI alum pan, deep, cast alum, drain plug, but recently has developed a leak on pass side. Checked all around trans several days now after wiping fluid off just to make sure it's coming from pass. side at the pan gasket only. Today wiped it one...

If I had the space to add another car it would be a 61 Dart, Phoenix or a Pioneer. Best looking early Darts from 59 to 61 and classed as a full-size car. Amazing how you could get these cars ordered to your liking, not positive sure but I think you could even get an optional 383 in 61 with 11"...

Bring back some meatloaf... and sum beeer'ss... Allways double check your wiring, my crimping's go awry sometimes two. Isn't it great when ya fix yer f... up's and everything falls into place.

Regardless they are coming to you because mine work fine on my car and I want yours to work also. PM me if you want them. Wisconsin to Cali. to TN back to Cali. I been around ya know as Al P say's.

Ok Jason A, I have a left and right latch, they do not match completely but are dead on in so far as size and shape of the mechanism and brackets that mount to the windshield header. I don't believe that these are my original brackets anymore but are latches that the 3rd owner got from someone...

I have the original set of latches that were sent to me from the third owner who contacted me on this forum. I don't remember their condition when I opened the box and looked at everything, but I will check them today. these are off a 69 Polara. He changed them for some reason so this pair might...
