Transmission gasket replacement
After finding leak arpund rim of trans pan. I ordered a gasket.
I was checking to see if there are any pitfalls or suggestions to getting it right.
I assume drain pan from the drain bolt, then pull the pan and replace. Will anything drop or fall from the underside of the pan on removal that i should be concerned with.

The pan and gasket are supposed to be assembled dry without any sealer etc. If sealer is used, a torn gasket is usually the result. The sealer acts as a lubricant allowing the gasket to be squeezed out as the bolts are tightened. Tighten the bolts in a multi staged criss-cross pattern. HTH

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
