Hi, Has anyone experienced the transmission fluid purge itself via the pump housing overfill hole?? My 1977 "TCI" Street Fighter tranny ONLY purges itself upon A COLD start after the car is inoperative for a while. Once the engine warms up, it does not leak at all. Not even after turning...

SORRY, the picture did not upload. Here it is..................

DONE DEAL! I think the hardest was finding a vendor that would have the solid rivet and that would NOT want to sell you 50-100 of them. We are lucky to have a "hole in the wall" hardware store in Ventura that carries just about every item one can not find anywhere else. He had the rivet, NOT...

EXACTLY- The ones I have are working perfect with the exception of the ONE solid rivet missing. I can purchase new ones, after market, which may or may not be as good as the original ones. The price is not bad for new ones but I feel it would be throwing money away ..........all due to one...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YahoRGSahXQ Here is a YOUTUBE five minute video of the work I just finished on my 1969 RR. The "TCI" tranny and "T/C" ONLY had 1100 miles on it when the torque converter started to leak at the welds. TCI was honorable enough to replace the T/C even though it...

Hi, Can anyone tell me where I can get a hood hinge repaired in Southern California. I need a rivet installed. photograph attached Thanks, LG, Mike

wrong picture.................. these numbers...................................

You are 100% CORRECT. I need to pay MORE attention to detail....................LOL Can you tell me what the STAMP NUMBERS by the starter reveal. I'm pretty sure it is suppose to be the date, hence, stamped and not a casting number. I figure the " A " stood for day shift...

Sounds GOOD to me, BUT both the D and the N casted in the block. I thought the stamped number by the starter was suppose to be the date the motor was put together. Thanks for the input.............. LG, Mike

Can anyone tell me what these numbers indicate: BLOCK CASTING NUMBER- 3614230-4 DATE STAMP BY THE STARTER- 17782 A ENGINE ID#, RH ABOVE OIL PAN- 2C208217 CASTING DATE, RH MIDDLE OF BLOCK ABOVE OIL PAN- " D N " My understanding is that this is a 400CID motor built in 1972...

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind. One thing about this motor, it starts up real quick. It has a manual choke. The starter has been working perfectly. HOPE it continues to do so..........I do NOT want to visit that task for quite some time.......... Which really surprises me because it has an...

PROBLEM SOLVED! Thank YOU again ACME A12.................... I revisited the flywheel bolts as you suggested but NOT until I purchased scope camera.........best investment I have made in a long time. Besides, I always wanted to be able to see in dark places since it seems like that's where I...

I looked at that. I tighten them down but NOT all the way until I had all of them in. I looked up and could not really see the bolts but there seemed to be a lot of room between the bolts and bell-housing for them to catch onto. I guess I should try and investigate that further. This was one...

HELP, I'm working on a 1969 RR with a 400CID motor (with less than 5,000 miles on it ) hooked up to a "TCI" TF 727 street-fighter with 1,000 miles on it and a NEW "TCI" torque converter. The first one was DEFECTIVE........... Well, the transmission re-install was going fine UNTIL I heard...

OK I found the engine ID#. It is taken from the RH of the motor just above the oil pan. The number is " 2C208217 "................ Can anyone tell me what this came of of. Thanks, Mike

Thanks BIG John................ Hard to believe that these little things can be so hard to find an answer to. I wanted to confirm I was doing things correctly. Always nice to be extra sure .................... I chose to manually turn the crank via the large nut rather than using the starter...

OK, it is the SMALL stuff that always drives me nuts. Finding conflicting information on a SIMPLE topic............. Does the FAN rotate CLOCKWISE or COUNTER-CLOCKWISE looking at the car FROM THE FRONT?? Thank you in advance........... LG, MIKE :acne:

Thanks, I will try and see what I can find. Will be under it again today. Spent half a day trying to install the STARTER and still not bolted on yet. The Hooker long headers make it quite a task...............Should be able to mate the tranny to the motor this morning. I'm NOT looking...

Well, I checked by pad on the RH by the distributor for some numbers with NO LUCK. Any suggestions where I may find the VIN# stamped on the motor?? Thank you in advance, LG, Mike

Well, If I'm correct, the number 17782 A, taken from the block near the starter, is a DATE code. My research indicates it is APRIL 4, 2010............... I'll be looking for the VIN# tomorrow.......... Any info greatly appreciated.............. LG, Mike
