When under the car to change over the transmission (see my other post), I noted that the passenger side exhaust runs RIGHT under the starter, it made me think that could be partially the reason why…Continue

My woes are FINALLY finished. If you've been following along or in any of the group meetings, a consistent point of conversation for my Fleetwood has been the transmission. It started maybe 6 mos…Continue

"I will add-
I got a "new" transmission from Jason.
I took the pan off, pained, and cleaned THOUROGHLY. All threads, gasket surfaces, etc. I also made sure the pan was not warped around the holes. Transmission, now installed and…"
""Hope I can see the deformations..." --> lay it on anything flat"What grease to use?" --> shouldn't really matter. I just used a couple of dabs of sealer only to tack the gasket in place. The gasket will form your seal…"
"Hope I can see the deformations...What grease to use? Maybe an example, make etc would help..."
"Marty,
Excellent point about the pan!!!!!!

"Same sort of thing with the oil pans. The are notorious for getting over-tightened and bend down. You big lipped channel locks and grip the lower lip and gently bend the entire section back upward then take two small flat pieces of wood…"
"My 2 cents to this after agreeing with Dennis and Jason is to make sure that the areas surrounding the bolt holes have not been deformed by overtightening if they are use a hammer and drift to make them flat. "
"I agree, no need for gasket maker. Just clean surfaces, make sure you bolts threads are clean (female threads in casing and male on bolt shank) and make sure they turn easily and torque to spec (13 ft/lb). Main think is don't overtighten!"
"Hi Sammy,
I've been doing these tranny tune ups for myriad years in my dad's shop since the 70's. After spotlessly cleaning the pan and gasket detritus, we applied a thin layer of heavy duty grease around the…"
"Hi. doin' the same on my 63 CdV these days.What I'm not sure: using gasket maker (high temp silicone) on both sides on the new transmission pan seal or not?Read different opinions on that...Thanks for help.Sammy"
"Shouldn't need to come off. I remove the entire assembly when parting a car. At works you might loose the upper bumper outer to inner fender "hanger" bracket from bottom and loosen the 4 large bumper bracket to frame bolts/nuts to the…"
"Does the bumper need to come off? It looks like everything should come right out of there!"
"I would use plenty of PB Blaster getting the perimeter fasteners off the old one, use a bright headlamp, and just take your time. "
Lower Front Grille 64 Fleetwood
As I prepare for the CLC Fall Festival next weekend, I find myself finishing up everything on my list that I wanted to get done ACCEPT the lower front grille. Jason put together a SUPERB front grill for me several months ago and I have been afraid to tackle that job. I have the whole weekend to get the lower grille out and put back in. How hard of a job will it be? Looking for any tips and tricks, thank you!LoganSee More
63 Delco Example
"Whats very interesting is that my 64 has the 63 Delco master in it! Someone swapped at some point.
I intend to completely overhaul the breaks sooner rather than later. Need to source a good, modern replacement for the 64 or a good rebuild…"

Lower Front End Ball Joints
Posted on May 11, 2023 at 9:04am 10 Comments 0 Likes
Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

63 vs 64 Hood V Size Difference

The 64 hood V is considerably bigger than the 63 hood V, and one of the many things I have not done in dealing with these cars on the last 3 decades was to do a direct comparison. Someone asked about…Continue
Radio Models 1963 to 1968

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
Vintage Air AC
Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments 1 Like
Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
