I don't believe any had trans oil coolers... all the way up through 1967.
I know for a fact that 53-55's didn't have them. My 69 automatic DID have a cooler in the radiator.

I'm a heel of my hand AND a rubber mallet guy. :D
I push/hit them on with the heel of my hand, then use 3-4 plies of towels over the hubcap before bopping them with the rubber mallet for the final "set".

Here's some old memories for you.
The white one is my 67 1275 Cooper S that I sold about 10 years ago.
The yellow one is my 61 Cooper 998 that I had back in the 70's.
If I had room, I'd buy another. LOVE the old Mini's.

Something is definitely wrong with your brakes. I have drums on my 63 Corvette, and if you jam them on, they'll throw you through the windshield. :D
I also have drums all around on my 56 Chevy hot rod. That's one big 2 ton boat, and the drums stop it just fine.

OOPS. I read in another thread that it was stolen at a Goodguys event.
Why?
There are companies that make reproduction trim tags. They'll stamp any color code/trim code you want on them.
So, if you have an original purple car, and you want to make it pink, you can get a tag stamped with...
:D Can't afford to haul to Floriduh anymore, John.
At 10 miles/gallon towing with the Tahoe, the last trip cost me $800.00 in gas alone.
Both TV pieces turned out very well. Ron Matz is a local very well known "man in the street" type of reporter. He always does a nice job. The...
I'm 6'4", 240#.
I had a 54. Sold it, as it was VERY uncomfortable for a guy my size.
My neighbor and dear friend has had a bunch of Corvettes, among them 2 62's.
He still has one. I've driven them on a number of occasions.
VERY uncomfortable for a guy my size. I'm long in the torso...
I can't tell you how long it should be, but I can tell you that to adjust it, you...
1. Have a friend hold the gas pedal all the way to the floor. Make sure the carb is opened up fully with the gas pedal depressed all the way.
2. Under the car, pull the lever forward, till you hit the...
John Pirkle in Georgia is "the man" when it comes to rebuilding and restoring original alternators.
When you get it back from Pirkle, it'll have dated diodes, etc.
If that's you bag, send it to Pirkle. If not, any competent electrical shop can rebuild it, AND when they rebuild it, they can...
It should also be noted that you have a Tonawanda block.
In 57 all blocks were Flint/Saginaw cast blocks.
Tonawanda blocks have many embossed and debossed "T's" on them.
They're also missing the oil galley pipe plug on the front of the block.
What I'm saying is that you cannot make this...
Triple A Enterprises will make you a repro sticker for a few bucks. It'll have all the correct codes, fonts, prices, etc.
Not worth fooling with it yourself, IMHO. :)

We bailed at 1PM on Saturday. Broke down our vendor spots, packed things up, and headed out at 2 PM. Was home at 3:30. I had been up there all day Thursday and Friday.
OUTRAGEOUS heat. :) Just can't take it like I used to.
Very little foot traffic in the swap meet on Saturday...
Ah, now I see. Didn't know that was a requirement in Connecticut.
The car is 30 years old. Can you register it as an antique?
In my state, inspection is waived for antique cars, BUT I must say that our inspection in Maryland is a safety inspection...done at various service stations...
May I ask why the DMV is giving you problems?
I've registered a lot of old cars in Maryland.
I bring the signed over title to DMV...turn it in...pay my money....and they send me the new title.
I've never had to bring a car in to the DMV to show the VIN #. I've never been asked to...
