    Transmission lever clip a727

    I'd just use a thin washer and a cotter pin.

    Is my stock 727 in dire straights ??

    I wouldn't worry about anything in the transmission, looks like it's been a while since it was serviced so maybe once it has a new filter and fluid run it for a year then change the fluid/filter again and you should be good! The 727 is a ridiculously strong transmission and will keep going when...

    69 300, hard brakes; booster and valve question

    That second smaller port off the check valve usually runs to the cruise control servo, but if you don't have cruise then just put a cap on it and your done. The fact that there is no cap on it now is why you have no power in your brake booster....all the vacuum is just leaking out and away. To...

    Show me your raised whites!....please

    Years ago I had black wall tires with big lettering that I painted in with just some simple white vinyl/rubber paint. Spray bomb but just sprayed into a small cup then used a small brush to paint the lettering....looked OK after 2-3 coats, but you really have to clean the tires well before hand...

    4 post lift people...need some measurements...

    I'm working on getting my manual lock system built on my "Cheap, beat, rusty, dissembled and parts missing" 4 post lift I picked up last December and was wondering if anyone would be willing to grab a few measurements for me off your lift. Took me almost 2 months to get the 3/8 and 1/2 round...

    Congrats on the cool old long roof! What is it sporting for a motor? What electrical problems are you having?

    Went for a cruise in the Coronet....

    Over our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend I finally had a chance to take my Mother In-Law out for a cruise in the Coronet....I'd promised her back around Mothers day that I would but weather, work, holidays and schedules never aligned to make it happen. Beautiful day for October and...

    What did you do to your C-body today....

    Being 6'8" tall the waxing of the cars has always been hard on my back but this year I discovered how great a lift is for waxing the car! I can now just adjust the lift so I'm always working at a nice comfortable height for every panel on the car. :thumbsup:

    1968 Chrysler Town and Country

    Beautiful old long roof you have there!! I concur on checking your ignition, timing, and vacuum advance. I had an overheating problem on the 440 in my 68 T/C wagon years ago, couldn't figure it out...was running fine then I did some work on the top end and all of a sudden over heating all the...

    Boy, I'm a believer in claying the car now!

    I've had a claybar kit for a couple years and keep meaning to do the wagon and the coronet. Do you use one claybar per vehicle or can you do more than one?

    Hello from germany / 440 New Yorker

    Easiest to change if you remove the springs, and if the springs come apart even better to just handle the top leaf spring. Once they are out I use fire to cook the rubber bushing until it gets soft enough to push out the bushing and inner metal insert, then just use a small chisel to deform the...

    9.25 Sure Grip Axle Problems

    It very well could be the sure grip unit...the clutches and steel plates wear over time, this alone can cause some horrible sounding noises and driveability issues. And sometimes the splined teeth on the plates can break off causing the plates and clutches to misaligned and make all kinds of...

    Nos bumper guards

    Are there no numbers inside? The short fat ones make me think maybe from a 50's car?

    69 300 with flaking

    The grey stuff is the old undercoating, that chunk you flaked off after is rusty metal flaking off, I'd hit that whole area with a needler and clean it.
