Thanks, good advise. I found an old Chilton guide to auto transmisiions I'd forgotten about, so I got the intermediate band adjusted to specs. Torque to 10lbs, back off 1-3/4 turns, torque locknut to 30 lb. Also lists several options for troubleshooting 2nd gear slipping: vacuum modulator or...

I have a C4 in the '67. Previous owner gave me the invoice from the rebuild he had done just before it was parked, 4 years later I bought it from a barn. I've probably put less than 1k miles on it, car has started slipping out of 2nd gear, mostly when hitting humps at intersections and only...

Don't know what the differences are, but my 67 coupe has a console with factory in dash A/C and auto trans, if you need any dimensions or anything.

I've been thinking about rigging up something to make my 67's wipers intermittant and maybe have an electronic washer. Not sure if it's been discussed before, I found nothing on thread searches. There might even be an aftermarket retrofit, but the tinkerer in me wants to figure something out. It...

Next thing you know he'll be joining a Pedal Car tech forum. :nice: The years go by quickly, it seems like yesterday my kid was tinkering on his Tyco. I can't believe he's driving for real now.

Since it appears to be on one side, it doesn't seem like it would be your rings. I guess we'll know after your leak down test. I'd pull the valve cover on the side that's fouling and check your valve seals/guides. You might get lucky like I did. I replaced all of the valve seals and problem went...

Holy rusted metal, Batman! :jaw: I'd soil myself if I found a yard like that. It's a shame to see them rotting away in the weather like that, though. In my fantasy... the owner that lives in the trailer is pissed that Pappy's last will only left her with these old junk cars and she wants...

A boy and his pony... Our son just turned 16 and his present was this '67 coupe. We've been working on it off and on for a year or so getting it road worthy and safe. It's still rough around the edges in the looks dept, but we thought he should be doing that phase on his own dime and to his own...

Thanks for the replies. I'll go ahead and pull the cluster, get it opened up and go from there. If I can't fix the original speedo I'll try to find a used or aftermarket one and move my odometer to it. Just don't want to hurt the car's value or worse, break any laws. Maybe I'll take photo's to...

I replaced my broken speedo cable and gear on my '67, then found out why it broke. The speedometer itself does about 3/4 of a turn and hangs up. I know I can replace the whole cluster, or probably even just the guage, but I want to keep the original odometer in place since it's a 65000 mile car...

ok, alarm bells are starting to go off in my head now that I slept on it. Besides the fact that over the phone this guy ends every sentence with the word "Holmes" and he lives in an area I won't go without my Beretta, when I asked about body parts he said someone bought the whole chassis but...

just to clarify, it's the whole rear axle, tires and all.

Found a guy that claims to have a 9" Posi rearend that's been rebuilt off of a '67 he's parting out. He wants $450 for it. Wasn't on my list of priorities for the car right now so I haven't even priced them, but is is too good of a deal to pass up?

Tried spray pesticide, guess it didn't get in the nooks and crannies enough. I wonder what the life span of a spider is? Maybe if I just keep driving it they'll die of old age before they can reproduce. My kid suggested herbicide...not for the car but for my neighbor's yard. He wants to do a...

My d*ckhead neighbor called the cops for my 67 being parked in front of my house, and I got a warning for being on the parked street more than 72 hrs without moving! I called the police and they said they based it on my neighbor's complaint and the amount of spider webs under the car. I told...

The car's a 67, had a stock 2bbl when I got it. I just installed a factory 4bbl manifold. Everything fit until I got to the temp sending unit, my old one is too big. I read other threads about decoding and figured out that the manifold is a 64, but the sender for that year is slightly too small...
