    Help, can't get C4 trans pan to seal

    I would appreciate any pointers anyone can give on how to get the pan on my C4 transmission to seal up. I think I've now redone it 6 times, and it is still leaking. Has anyone else had anywhere near this much trouble getting the pan to seal up and no leak? My technique: 1) Using a new...

    C4 trans won't go into park unless I let the car roll a few inches

    I have had this issue for a long time, but have the bottom of the transmission opened up this weekend, and thought I would try to finally fix this. When I stop and try to put the trans into Park it won't lock in - the shift lever just comes back a small amount and sits between Park and...

    How tough to rebuild or overhaul a C4 trans?

    The C4 transmission in my '66 coupe is very old, but seems to work great. The shifts are fast and firm, doesn't slip as far as I can tell. The problem is that is leaks really badly. Not sure what happens while driving, but if I park for even 5 or 10 minutes it will leave a small amount of...

    Are the tapered inserts in the Mast. Cyl ports replaceable?

    Doing a lot of work of my '66 coupe brakes, and apparently screwed up my brand new dual-bowl MC. When I got everything back together the rear port leaked. Took the lines off and removed the MC, and the rear tapered insert - the brass looking piece that the flare in the brake line mates up to -...

    Need help flaring stainless steel brake lines

    First off I'm confused about what type of flare I need. I started off thinking I would need a 45 degree double flare, but now think I may need a 37 degree single flare. I'm trying to plumb up my master cylinder and combination valve. I tried making a couple of 45 degree double flares in the...

    Why are the front and rear ports on a MC different sizes?

    Working through re-doing the brake system on my '66 and have discovered that the front and rear outlet ports on the dual-reservoir MC are different sizes. All of the old brake line connections on the car were 3/8". On this MC the front brake port(on the rear half of the MC) is 3/8", but the...

    Questions about plumbing a brake system

    I'm in the middle of replacing most of my stock '66 GT brake system and have a few questions I was hoping someone could help with. I'm keeping the front disk/rear drum setup, but replacing most of the parts. My main question is related to adding a combination valve(metering and...

    How to clean/prep metal w/ light rust for paint?

    I've got the front end of my car jacked up and disassembled, and while I was under there I thought it would be a good idea to do some clean up and paint for protective reasons. I'm looking to do this to protect the metal at this point rather than as a high quality restoration. I don't own an...

    Want to upgrade/update my '66 GT brakes - ideas?

    I have a decent condition '66 GT coupe that needs better brakes. It currently has the stock front disk / rear drum / single bowl master cylinder, and doesn't stop very well. I don't really know what the problem is but the brakes don't seem to have much stopping power and if you try to stop...

    Where to buy AFR heads? Are they all the same? Cam sugg. for CA?

    When looking for AFR heads should I be shopping around based on only price/availability, or are there other things to look out for? I have heard that not all distributors sell the exact same head - for example some buy bare castings and build them up themselves while others ship the complete...
