Hi all, I’ve got a 70 RR that had the auto converted from column to floor shifter and I hope what I’m experiencing means a band adjustment is needed vs an entire transmission rebuild. Here’s what’s happening. Car rolls while engine off in park but engages when engine is started/running while...

where r u located?

Awesome thank you kindly!

thank you if the fluid is good and full where could I go to get a pic or schematic on the band/linkage adjustment?

My 3-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission on my 70 RR is not engaging in park (rolls without parking brake applied) and struggling to engage in reverse, thinking I need a rebuild. What would a good estimate be for a rebuild? thx!

I took off a Holly 4150 4-barrel because it was old and in bad shape and I was too lazy to rebuild it, rethinking that strategy LOL

Thanks Russ69Runner return line could definitely be in the cards

Yes set it in the middle of the window.

Hi all, trying to sort out an issue on my 70 RR where fuel sprays out of my carb air vents after some hard driving and once the engine is up to operating temps and essentially chokes out the engine. It will only fire back up once it’s had a chance to cool down. I do have an external and in...

separate question anyone know the gauge size of the blue wire from the voltage regulator to the alternator? Looks to be either 16 or 18

Funny you ask LOL. Well she quit the other night after a drive through the neighborhood and as I was letting her cool down and checking everything with a multimeter I noticed one of the wires from the voltage regulator to the alternator was cracked and exposed and may have been grounding out...

Yes I went with the exact silver box from NAPA (TP51) I think it regulates a higher RPM than the old orange box

So after diagnosing that it’s not a fuel issue, determined it’s an electrical issue, had the green wire that goes to the alternator burn, crack and expose itself. Had to replace it and now the volt gauge is jumping off the charts. These gremlins are absolutely killing me LOL. May be a bad...
