71 Duster 360 (new project)

today was finish the 904 day....I had problems last week with the pumps, put new bushing in..new pump gears and new seal...i put a 904 converter on the bench and slid the pump down on to the converter snout..with the bolts loose in the pump...once i tighten the bolts up...the pump would not come off the snout...

two years ago..went i put the trans in my demon..had a problem getting the pump to go on the snout...I swapped out pumps to get it to work...

anyway..I tried the same thing with another pump...and once it was tighten..it would not come off the snout...

I found a pump alignment tool for a 904 on ebay....bought it and last night it arrived...I use the tool today ...tightening the bolts with the alignment tool on the pump...now both pumps slide on and off with ease.....

apparently these two pumps had alignment issues...first time I ran into that...

got it all back together...5.0 lever...TA cheetah valve body...MP deep steel pan...rapped it in plastic and it is back in the corner waiting....

sorry forgot camera...so no show n tell tonight...

Now i got to get the brakes and wheels back on a 71 Dart...so I can move that Duster into that bay...
