Adding to an old thread. Spring is a few weeks away so getting a few things done one of which is the worm shaft seal. I used Rick S procedure with a few mods. First marked the column/ coupler to make sure its goes back the same. I also took off the inner fender, gave me way more work area. Used...

I used feltpro kit with gaskets.

Not ready to part with it yet. Still having fun with it!

Thanks Fury fan. You are right. The air cleaner, carb, exhaust manifolds, tranny and valve covers are all from a 69 fury. I set aside the original 383 block, 2 barrel intake,air cleaner, exhaust manifolds and single exhaust hangers. Next guy can restore to original if they want.

i am enjoying it Marv. Summers are short here and I try to cram as much things as I can before winter. I will be able to start using it way earlier next year.

Thanks to everyone who helped with parts and advise for this project. It was all worth it first time opened her up on open road , windows down, big block and duals. Best sound in the world. Last thing I will put on is window washer bottle once I am done for sure under the hood! I hear they are...

So I did what i set out to do. My guess is 39 years ago , this car was buried and stuck somewhere. Tranny was slammed drive to reverse until it was cooked. Naturally when car quit moving you rev until you bend pushrods now engine also broke and then it sat until now. Still have some tinkering...

Now spring and working in blue sky garage which I prefer. Started 440, broke cam in and for first time in 39 years 193767 hit the road.

I replaced all four speakers in car system and covered with a dash cap.Also put in 140 speedo. Am/8 track was converted to am/fm in original radio body. Couldnt find woodgrain for dash insert so made one out of oak. Not original but looks ok

Thanks Fratzog. I enjoy and am grateful I can do these things. I spent most of winter on a doll house, a canoe, and a hibatchi bbq. I also found time to do dash for car.

I went through same problem on 70 fury with 3 inch front brakes rubbing on plate. Turned out it was drum. The one that rubbed was 4 inch deep inside and one that didnt was 3 13/16. (Pics)One was from a 70 one from 71 plymouth. Not sure about 68 but might be worth a look.

Saw this ad. Don’t know him or am endorsing him in anyway. Maybe a Manitoba member might have had dealings positive or otherwise and can comment.

Factory rear seal had a boot that went past seal for about 1 1/2 inches that would have covered more of the yoke.

I feel for you Alrui! It is not an easy fix but can be done in car. First if small block , move distributer cap off to side so it doesnt crack when you take driveshaft and crossmember off and egine moves down at back.The extension housing has to come off as well as tranny pan and valve body...

There is a small o ring on a shaft that is pushed into back of tranny body. It holds the rear band in place and is covered by the rear extension housing. It can also leak from there and travel or drip.
