Well it certainly was a comedy of errors on my part as his was my first attempt at an automatic. But that has been the case with every new project for the last four decades. Nothing ever goes as planned, I always need more parts than I thought, and it generally takes three times as long as...

Just to give an update. Transmissionpartsusa is not someone I would recommend anyone use. I tried to call them and no answer. Left voice mails and no response. Emailed them and got a response the same day. The person who responded had no first hand knowledge of what they sold me. She told me...

So I received the 1960 - 1977 A904 thrust washer set from transmissionpartsusa. Not one single thrust washer in the set matches anything that is in my 1967 transmission. I have verified the numbers on the casing as 67 numbers. So either someone has exchanged guts or this thrust washer kit is...

Yep. i also remembered the larger fiber one on the back of the oil pump. I think this being my first time doing this I underestimated the wear on the thrust washers in general and the whole thing is just sloppy. I ordered a complete thrust washer set last night.

So the thrust washer set from transmissionpartsusa says it is for 72 forward. Anyone used this set or have any idea whether it will fit my 67 as well. Picture looks right but have learned not to trust internet sales pics. TF6 A904 A998 A999 Transmission Thrust Washers TF6 A904 A998 A999

I'm measuring with the dial indicator clamped to the bell housing with it flat on it's back. Push input all the way in, zero, pull out. Just by feel it seems like a lot and as you can see measuring 0.020 over max. Guess of I didn't have to do it at least twice I wouldn't learn anything.

LOL. My words not yours. The washers under the planetary gears looked pretty good with just normal wear but if I am going back in I guess I should spring for an entire set. Is transmissionpartsusa a good source because Rockauto is good for a lot of things but apparently not auto transmission...

So a question a likely already know the answer to. Just got to the point in my rebuild of the original 67 A904 from the Barracuda. I failed to check my end play before disassembly. Checking it now after reassembly I have 0.110". Service manual says specs are between 0.022" and 0.091". I...

Unfortunately the suspected culprit of the antifreeze leak is the freeze plug on the back of the block on the passengers side under the automatic transmission bell housing. That's ok. While I have it out it will get cleaned up, all new gaskets, the correct paint job after losing those hideous...

Those numbers are with a warm engine, all plugs out, and choke and throttle blades propped wide open.

So I was able to get out to the garage on this great Veteran's Day. Thank you for your service to all of my brothers and sisters on here. I was able to run a compression test on the 273 n the car. The motor seems to have tested out pretty well. Results were: 1 - 128, 2 - 132, 3 - 130, 4 -...

Well that plan certainly has my attention but I ran it past the wife and she gave me the stink eye and reminded me I already have my car and this one is for her...LMAO. Looks like the first step will be pulling the motor and keeping my fingers crossed that all it needs is a full gasket kit.

Lucky for me I got the family discount...lol.

I gave $9k for it.

Well since there were no VIN stampings on the blocks in 67 all I can say is it is a 1967 short block yes. I have the correct 1967 date coded intake with 2bbl carb (#2536559). It would appear from the knowledge here I have the correct original rockers and push rods. The original heads are long...
