In 1957, there where 2 automatic transmissions. Powerglide and Turboglide. They each had different crankshafts, mainly for the torque converters....
Wow, that servo support crack is huge. Change out the servo, and adjust band properly. Should get an improvement.
Yes, that clears up everything. Funny, you could get Powerglide with 235, but not with 265.
Yes that does look like the mount holes. But does the 57 265 have the block mount starter holes or do they use an adapter plate to mount starter?
If the pumps were in the back of the transmission then how does the any of the pumps get power from flywheel to run the transmission? Is there a...
Looks like the 57 265 still mounts from the front, as I don't see side motor mount holes in the block. If that's the case, then the 57 265's...
Been on here for 18 years and just turned 73. Mind is like when I was 30, body is 73.
Remember one important fact about the 3 terminal regulators is that the input to output voltage difference needs to be usually 1.5 to 2 VOLTS....
This panel should have maximum total current being drawn specification listed and is a warning for the customer.
Exactly.
Looks like you have the engine and transmission for it. Freshen up the engine and transmission, then get it running. I have a 54 Capri, with some...
If you look closer, the alternator belt looks like it is not lining up correct with the water pump pulley. Seems like the alternator is not...
It all depends on how the dash indicators are wired. Your 33 is what brand name? I say this as I have a 59 Olds with a strange way of grounding...
Why not get a 3 pin socket for each inboard headlight and use headlamps with high and low beams there. Then you can wire all 4 low beams together...
You may want to place capacitors on the input and output pins to ground per the diagram. [ATTACH]
After calculating, the value of the inductor is 33 millihenry. Digikey has one for $4.75 that should work.
I have been checking on this thread and believe that the issue could be from the alternator. Years ago, some alternator "whine" would sneak into...
[ATTACH] It looks like a 1956 GMC 1/2 ton truck hydramatic. My guess it is meant to bolt up to the Pontiac 316 v8 using the Pontiac front...
Manual transmission bellhousings will not work. HydraMatic bellhousings have two pockets that mate to the transmission. I could be wrong, but I...
Possibly the band is too tight and not releasing fast enough, but I would think that a solid clunk is more apt than a flareup. If you don't have...
Push button transmissions did not happen till 1956, and ones with parking brake lever came in 62 or 63.
Does the transmission shift up and into 3rd gear while in D range? If not, then the reverse/high clutch seals could be leaking.
Years ago I had a heavy draw of current on my 55 Lincoln Capri. I thought the battery had just been discharged over time, so I got out the battery...
Looks like this device is for changing the transmission "switch pitch " mechanical linkage to vacuum control from engine.
Funny you are trying to do what I have designed. My idea uses a hydramatic with the rear Oldsmobile bellhousing. Then an adapter plate adapts the...
I do something different. I do adapters on a cad program, then print out the design at 1 to 1 scale. Take the print and make sure that all of the...
Add a high current relay, which the present switch operates. Then wire both alternator output and ignition switch to the ammeter per the previous...
Try manually going through the gears and see if the sluggish response is improved. If so, then the TV linkage is either out of adjustment or not...
Next up is to get one of the dimmer rheostats and find out what the actual resistance is across the total range.
A simple low pass filter for the gain stage will cancel noise out.
Separate names with a comma.
