ha! I can relate! My old tank was full of crud, when low on gas it sucked up crap that clogged the line...( & filter)...had to blow it back in the tank with compressed air. Another 5 gallons or premium and started up and ran.

Unfortunately I've joined this club now too...This good "old" post gives me an idea of possible areas. i was thinking u-joints...I hope not trans. shaft bearing...let the chase begin!...

ha! been view'n mine from that angle lately, (on back crawl'n under), sure others can relate! ;)

hi kbsouers, your combo looks good! (on my '68 b-cuda) I was thinking using 245/45/17's or 255/45/17's on a 17 x 8" (all 4), with 5" back space(most back space offered on this wheel). pretty much same brakes you have too. (Dr. Diff 11.75" disc fronts & 10.70" rear disc, 5x4.5 axles) does it...

that freek'n thing looks mean! I Like!

Yep, that one screw that didn't feel right striped before 150 in lb. torque. (bought an "eTork" torque wrench, Highly recommend it), I was able to install a heli-coil through the stock trans pan.

Dacron? Is that what I installed? (not changing it, it's a done deal now), but for others, is it different than what you get when ordering from a parts supplier? Not sure what the filter was made of, but wasn't happy it had "made in china" stamped on it. Thought AC Delco was a quality USA brand...

Hay Kim, No it was the wrong filter, My trans is the original one, '68, (I've had it since '78), Think the guy that built the trans, (in '80) might have installed the wrong filter, or I may have even done it if I changed the fluid at some point.,(but the looks of that thing, don't think i did...

I actually did think of doing that, holes striped were in an area where that was possible.

Wouldn't doubt it, but they do sell the "tools" & Coils separate,(at my local Ace Hardware), but the tap alone was $23+ ...and the next guy might be me...old-timer's kick'n in, and I'll be wonder WTF?! the next time i go to change the oil. ;) I might have another hole that's on the way out,(so...

Yep! BTW: Nice job on your '65? barracuda! I'm jealous of your shop! ;) i've got to get going on my shtuff, (stalling the crawling under my car deal, looking at your build), got to get-er-done though...I'm out.

kind of, sort of, half *** listening ;)...at least i went with dexron. posted these torque specs on another post just a bit ago, and noticed "the Book" states; "fill with Dexron-type ATF fluid" further down the paragraph.

Thank you Fishy68!

Thanks TJ, I ended up deciding to try and install a heli-coil, because i actually found that i had 2 striped holes right next to each other. I hadn't install one before, so I was uneasy about it, especially since I was work'n from under the car with about a foot of room. BUT, happy to say, it...
