The tranny took quite a bit of abuse for those 25,000 miles so I cannot complain about it. However, I bought it almost 34-years ago. I see on Summit Racing’s website a lot of bad reviews about the TCI transmissions.

Thanks Icetech, I appreciate your time. I’ve changed the fluid a few times in those 25,000 miles but never found that large piece. I may have found small pieces before, but maybe not. I know I have seen some tiny brass (?) flakes during previous fluid changes. I have other projects right...

I have about 25,000 miles on a small block TCI StreetFighter 727 I have been using in my ‘67 Barracuda since ‘92. I dropped the pan today, had a little gray sludge at the bottom but more concerning was the piece of metal I found. Along with this long piece, one inch length, were about three...

Thank you! That looks just like my motor, minus the cage. It was in the trunk of a ‘71 Satellite. The ‘71 and ‘72 Satellite/Road Runner/GTX are my second favorite Mopars, after my ‘67 Barracuda. :)

Might not be the right forum but I’m looking for help identifying an HVAC fan that came loose in a car I bought. The gasket for the fan has a part number and the pentastar logo but the fan does not have the logo. I searched the fan’s part number online but came up blank. As best I can tell...

Pending This is a Gear Vendors Overdrive unit for a 727. This is brand new, items are still in the box. I bought this but I do not plan to use it. It is complete, nothing missing. The current price on their website is $3,195. Please look at the pictures to see the options that came with...

Long Acre Accugauge Digital Caster Camber Gauge with Magnetic Mount Model 52-78290. I bought this gauge this past spring to set my Plymouth’s alignment. The gauge is very sensitive, easy to use and worked great. The magnetic hub mount is very strong, I found it difficult to place without the...

Thanks to everyone for your responses, it’s all great information. At least now I don’t feel as though there was something I was doing wrong though I will be lowering the car, it sits a little higher than stock to add clearance for headers and a deep tranny pan. For now, until new offset...

Thanks for all of the replies, I appreciate everyone’s time. I have heard of the course thread struts rods vs fine thread, mine are identical and both fine thread and I didn’t install new ones, they are the original. I have heard of using a washer on the lower ball joint but am hesitant to do...

Alignment is a topic beaten to death and I’ve read as many threads as I can find here, as well as B Bodies Only and E Bodies Only. I’m struggling to figure out what is going on with my alignment. ‘67 Barracuda, new spindles when I converted to 11.75 discs up front. Upper control arms from a...

I see, now that you tell me I have a faint memory of that piece on other carbs when I have made jet, power valve, or metering block changes. Or, I’m completely fabricating this picture in my head. Thank you!!

Thank you! How does it attach, is it on the outside of the bowl?

Hello, I am looking for some help in identifying the plastic piece in the attached photograph. The car I’m working on is a ‘67 Barracuda notchback. I first saw the piece when I removed the center carb’s float bowl on my 408-stroker six pack to do a jet change, my first time pulling it off the...

I did, they confirmed they tested it before it left their shop, for leaks and pressure. They are an outstanding business and do great work, I believe them when they say they completed the necessary steps. I don’t know what else to check, I covered the shroud gap but that didn’t improve the...

You could be right, they may have made a mistake with the radiator and didn’t send mine back to me. When I get home from work I’ll try to determine if it’s mine or not. Other than seeing four rows I don’t know what to look for as I didn’t track anything other than he put the outlet on the...
