"Tony, I used a rubber contact cement and clocked the seals so the sections did not align with the block and cap, I offset the seals by 1 inch into the block on one side.

Yes I know your cars mileage

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive

Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.
I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.

And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…

Not sure if we can buy just the yoke flange as an aftermarket part, or if it has to be rebuilt by a welder/fab guy? Maybe a salvage yard for a source? Again, any…
