Ok, you guys talked me into rebuilding myself, I need help now ;)

That's odd. I've ordered from WITT a couple times and had no trouble getting through and got fast service, although it's been a few months since I last ordered from them. I can't remember where their at but I wonder if maybe their in an area hit by a bad storm or fire and was out of power? Been a lot of crap happening all over lately.

Try www.aandatrans.com or www.coperacingtrans.com if you need a different selective snap ring if you don't want to spend several bucks getting the PP machined. Another place that might have a snap ring is www.bulkpart.com They don't have them listed on their website but Mike has other parts available.

As for tossing the 67 trans. I think the case is basically identical to a newer one. Just mainly the front section inside and valve body are different. It's easy to convert an early one to a late version. A lot of guys do that to install a low gear set and to update it to the newer larger torque converter register.
