I just installed a rebuilt transmission but can't get it to shift on its own. It will shift manually from the colum or I can let off the gas and as the RPMs fall it shifts on its own. I'm guessing that my vacuum is building up enough to shift the trans as the engine slows. My question is what...

I don't think any lines are blocked because I get the same results with the line disconnected from the MC. So, how do I check/adjust the piston depth??

I was doing a little brake work and found that I'm not getting any pressure to the rear brakes. After I bleed the front lines, I moved to the rear but couldn't get any fluid to come out and the brake pedal felt nice as stiff... I started disconnecting lines to see if I could get the pedal to...

Do any of yall know of, or belong to an EB club near North-West Louisiana (Shreveport/Bossier to be exact)? Thanks, Girg

While replacing my transmission, I discovered my motor mounts were bad. So while I was waiting for a buddy to come over and help with the tranny, I went ahead and swapped the mounts out (the transmission was out of the truck at this point)... I think this was a mistake because now that the...

ok, this is going to sound kinda crazy... But you could try some dye penatrant, like what welders use to inspect there welds. You smear this stuff on the affected area and shine a black light on it. It will glow where the chemical accumulates and pools. I work on B-52s and we have to record...

I had thought of making one, but I wasnt sure about the splined end that goes into the rag joint. Suppose a matchine shop could do it? Also, it looks like the new shaft is going to have to be about three inches longer than the original due to the new geomitry of my new box. Not sure what WH...

I recently purchased the Wildhorses quick ratio steering kit. I was installing it when I found my lower steering shaft was cracked and is probably going to be unusable. I was looking at the new replacement steering shafts, but coming in at 200+ I was hoping somebody could give me a compatible...

I was thinking about buying an art carr tranny myself but never did (had to use that $$ in other areas just to get my rig running)... ended up getting my old tranny rebuilt. Ill probably regret it in the long run, oh well! Anyway, when I spoke to the sales rep at Art Carr (the one in Cali) he...

I am in the process of chainging out the radiator, power steering system and transmission on my 74. When I got the transmission, I ordered one of those fancy electric fan powered remote coolers with it. Yesterday, I got my new four core radiator from Wild Horses and (I didn't think of this...

Cool, thanks for the info bill. Just one question... what do you mean when you say "clutch/auto"? Did you mean to say "clutch/manual" or is there yet another type of trans out there that i didn't know about?? LOL! thanks!

Just wondering if anybody out there can school me on a good choice for a torque converter/transmission combo... My tranny needs to be replaced and I'm looking in to the Art Carr Comp/Off Road Full Manual Auto. This is way more tranny than I need right now, but I plan on building a pretty stout...

Yall need to come to Louisiana to look for trucks... Often listed as a "hunting truck" its not uncommon to find a Bronco or old Jeep around here for way less than what you would expect to pay out West or up North... I'll work on getting some more pics of my new toy! I'm so excited... I'm like...

Out driving in the country and I found her parked behind a barn... owner took 2000 for it! There is actually very little rust and no bondo! The paint is still shiny, the motor and trans is all original... and run/shift great! bringing it home this weekend! WOO HOO! Another 74, and its all...

Im in the middle of a resto and I want to convert my front end into tube steel. I also want to build my own roll cage. I got the welding part down, but I need a pipe bender. As it will probably see limited use, I would like to get out of it as inexpensivly as possible. From what I have seen...

Ok, Just wondering how I can make my speedo accurate after a major increase in tire size. I got 39.5 inch tires with a C-6 transmission and 4.88 gears. Thanks for the help.... APG

I'm changing out the front brakes in my 75 and can't figure out how to remove the front drum. Do I have to take apart the locking hub? I started disassembling the hubs, but can only get about half way before I get stuck... I'm hoping there is an easier way around this! BTW: I have Mile...

Propane has many advantages... But nobody has mentioned the (in my opinion) BIGEST advantage... All the functionality of EFI with the simplicity of Carburetion! Thats the selling point for me. I just installed the Thunder Series AVS carb with the 4x4 setup. Works great, but I still have...

don't reuse the gasket if you can... they are pretty cheap... if you spend a lot of time in the mud and water like we do here in Louisiana you should change your fluid any time you submerse your pumpkin in mud or water (along with repacking your axle bearings). If thats the case, you can just...

Thats why I run a 351/C6. Not much trouble pushing them with that! ;D
