Here's another tidbit if it helps anyone diagnose: As this was supposedly a rebuilt transmission, I bought 13qts to fill it - 12 to fill and one...
Bump for morning crowd
I let it idle for 30 mins in the sun today to get nice and warm and adjusted the pressure to 35. Took it for a quick drive and still didn't shift...
UPDATE #2 OK, no fine adjustment on factory cable - I think it's just crimp marks that looked like threads. ;) However, I figured out a way to...
UPDATE: Got a gauge on it this morning. When cold, the readings were pretty good: Idle - 0 (could be strong/new internal bias in gauge as it...
Got a great deal on a 1954 F100 a couple years ago - very solid body with only very minor rust in cab corners, a worked-hard bed, and a semi-stuck...
I'm using a factory TV cable that I adapted to the Holley 600 and fabricated a bracket to get the geometry right - or I think it's right. I have...
Working on my '54 F100 - swapped in a later model 302/AOD combo. I had picked up a rebuilt AOD from a guy who wasn't going to use it. It looked...
All basic mechanical parts are the same and can be swapped. However, with the exception of the two gears that make fifth in the tail housing, all...
Yep...it works. Watch the countershaft bearing and oiling funnel...it's sometimes tricky to get the tailshaft to sit just right.
I'm a big fan of bushings vs bearings for pilot applications. It's an abusive environment and the bushings are far less critical than the...
Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. We cannot replace our loved ones, but we can honor their memories. I know you will do that...
AWESOME! I've been wanting to get my hands on one of these late-model T5. This is now the newest addition to the T5 Tech links!
Enjenjo - Do a separate posts on this, please!! We'll include it in the T5 Tech - great stuff!!! Thanks for sharing!
The stock steering is great, actually. Get all the tie rods right and the spring shackles tight and it'll steer just fine. These old trucks have...
Are these for the S10 4x4 or the Jeep 4x4?
If you get a WC T5 out of a V8 Camaro, you'll be fine.
83-93 V8 Mustang T5 input is approx 9-1/4" 87-93 4-cyl Mustang T5 input is approx 9-9/16" & is different diameter and spline count 94-95 V6 & V8...
You're going to be challenged to do this. The K-member will require surgery as the T5, even the 4x4 version you'll need to adapt to the torque...
OK - so the entire message title will take you to new posts. ;) The more I play, the more I like! ;) Disregard this 'bug' complaint. ;)
The tiny dot next to a thread indicating whether or not it has new threads or not is too small. I use a touch screen and trying to "right click"...
A great reason to run a constant voltage regulator. Because not only will your alternator/generator put out 14.5 volts at speed, it will also put...
The temp sender in early Fords works backwards. No juice, it reads full hot, key on it goes cold. The senders in the early Fords do not use...
The King Sealy senders used a heated bi-metallic strip to open/close a set of contacts multiple times sending a full 6V to the gauge in intervals....
The original KS senders don't use variable resistance, so measuring their resistance proves almost nothing except they're not "open". 6V...
This is one way: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91081 Don't know if anymore are avail or not...
I do have a set. I might even be able to get to them...got them on eBay several years ago - I was thinking just like you were - they'd be perfect...
You shouldn't have changed the senders. The IR1 (which I don't like, but it does work) reduces your voltage and is all you need. If you want to...
Added in the Tech Archives on Buick Brakes - thanks for the research! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=166339
There are some early Toploaders with the early/both bolt patterns...
