    Has anyone rebuit a 4+3 OD unit?

    Sounds like the front bearing/retainer is worn, which would allow a lot of play in both the O/D unit, and the 4 speed part. Once the retainer wears, it also will allow a lot of free play in the direct clutch-pack, which would explain the slippage in rev. To be honest, you might be able to...

    Help with son's '84.

    Was it blowing the fuse before you changed the alternator?:confused If it was, then I'd definitely be looking for a short somewhere, as has been said. Look down in the ciggy lighter and see if there's a penny or other coin down in there...that's pretty popular. If it wasn't blowing the fuse...

    Has anyone rebuit a 4+3 OD unit?

    I've built quite a few of them over the years. I'll tell ya...$1000 doesn't seem too high for one, depending on how much damage there is. If the planet set is damaged, that's gonna cost. Then you have the pump assy, and the front retainer(which is usually cracked, or otherwise damaged). It's...

    Corvair or Corvette Nomad diecast?

    I have a die-cast collection of over 2100 Corvettes. Along with the several small scale, Hot Weels/Matchbox sized Corvette Nomads, I have only the Danbury Mint in a larger(1/24th) scale. I may have a couple of the plastic model kits, also...I don't remember how many, but I do have at least one...

    New C4 site just started

    I can't see where Norsky is "directly connected to", OR "has a vested interest in" the C4 Registry site...looks like he was just putting it out there that the site was new....just my observation.

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Yeah...that looks like some kind of head gasket/block sealant in the rear water crossover holes. Since they are blocked off by the intake manifold, the junk can't really go anywhere, so it just piles up in that area, as there is no circulation to keep it in motion. I'd say a full flush of the...

    Shell Rotella T oil for Flat Tappet Engines?

    Interesting stuff here....:thumb I've been running Delo 400 in my Mercedes diesel for years with no problems, as well as my older 5.7 'Burban w/flat tappet cam. I've seen many articles on the use of the CI vs. CJ diesel oils, and all have stated to use the CI in older engines, and the CJ for the...

    Woosh sound and variable braking effort.

    Also check the seal between the booster and the master cylinder. They deteriorate over time, and create the same problems. The seal isn't available separately, but I have found that the seals for the headlight actuators fit perfectly with a little modification, and work like a champ. If this...

Then, a couple of days ago, I wanted to get back in, and it wouldn't let...

    Astro ventilation or not??

    It really depends on the production date of the car. Late '74s did not have the Astro Ventilation script on the side glass. The glass without the script is dated May '74. My June production '74 does not have the script on either window. Your's may have had one replaced at one time, but it is...
