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...

That figures, Ha! I was waiting for someone to comment on the condition of that thing! I was surprised too, that the oil/filter was so freek'n dirty. The thing has been sitting,(or at least feels like), for most of the time since the trans. & engine rebuild back in '80. feels like i only drove...

That's a good idea, I'll try it! maybe i'll go one further and get a tap the same size & cut new threads. And, yes am going to flatten the pan, some spots are not flat any more. and will put a bit of seal around the bolt holes. Thank You! What do you think about that filter? it bolted up...

Great Info Guys! Thank You! I'm changing to 3:55's and 17" wheels, not sure what that will do to the speed-o, but this post "back from the dead" gave me an "oh crap i need a new speed-o gear" moment! I assume they're pretty easy to change? need to do some home work...

You bought what you bought, and It will be fine, but I'll throw my two cents in...because i was wondering the same thing and googled for info., and because the speed shop I tried to purchase B & M Trick-shift fluid, (I had a Trans-Pack shift kit installed during the rebuild years ago and that's...

Hope this isn't anything to be worried about, but thought it was strange...Bought an AC Delco filter/gasket set,(FYI: paid more for it, (little US Flag), but ended up "made in china" anyway ), (from rock auto), -The filter was quite a bit larger than the one I removed. it had one hole,(for...

update...Well got what I paid for I guess... MADE IN MEXICO....NOT CANADA...:/....insert gun to head immogy...hope it's not crap... enough said.

Thanks for all the responses! I appreciate you all taking the time to share what your experiences were. I ended up going with, (bought) the 3/8" sending unit and lines after the guy helping me with the build mentioned today that "even ford 289 mustangs came with 3/8" lines", figured at least...

Very good, Thanks! I'm temped to post my cam specs, (on another post), not sure if its good/bad/or ugly, Ha! Probably some chebby cam! Installed back in '80! (Crane Blazer cam), don't think I want to know...(head in sand) ;)

Thanks Mattax, is that Stainless Steel line Co? =StSt

Thanks Gerald, I was thinking Inline tube for the line, sounds like you didn't have a fit issue? Looks like the Spectra gets the vote for pick-up unit! as long as i use my ring. :)

Cool, Thanks Guys! Bouchillon mentioned they get their units from SPI in Montreal,Quebec Canada. Googled that, but Sprecta came up, must be the same company. Theirs only comes with a 1/4" return line outlet. I will have to cap it. Year One has one with out the return, but have not gotten a...

Q:What has your experience been with the New 3/8" fuel sending units available these days? I've found only one (so far) made in No. America,(from Bouchillon Performance)....all others seem to be made in Taiwan or China. Not liking the idea of putting in something made over seas. Q: Any good...

Side by side pics of energy suspension mount and stock rubber mount. E.S. mount was 1/4" taller, (just jacked trany up a bit and cross member went on fine) Had a few minor issues that slowed removal/install; Close, but didn't clear exhaust... Glad the shop that installed exhaust thought to...

Changed my trans mount last week & thought I'd post pics. & dimensions of what's on my '68 B-cuda along with a few minor issues i ran into. I would be interested in any pics/dimensions of the '73-'76 spool type cross member, and trans case mount area, if anyone has some. Hook on...

Thanks Guys, I should be good with the square poly mount, i broke down and bought/installed Poly-Lock (biscuit) motor mounts this...last year, it's solid as a rock, and my engine probably doesn't have a heck if a lot more torque, than what came out of the factory, so should't twist enough to...
