Subject: Cars on film
For those living where its too cold to be in the garage...
Saw 2 movies recently with 300s that I don't recall seeing named on prior
posts.
One was called "The Rounders" with Henry Fonda and what appeared to be a
brand-new, light-blue-metallic '63 or '64 300 ragtop (driven by the 2
blondes). It was broken-down with "carburetor problems".
The other was the Eddie Murphy film "Life" with a lovely '62 300 ragtop in
either a dark red or brown.

Good Morning Group!
The Willowa (Dubuque) Iowa chapter of the Chicagoland MoPar Connection
will be holding their 7th Annual Summer/Fall car show, "MoPars on the
Mississippi" again this year at the Dubuque Greyhound Race Track. For your
calendar,this years dates are Aug 23-24. The cruise being on the evening
of the 23rd and the show on the 24th. This is a large show for this area
and all MoPar. It usually draws quite a few cars from the Chicago area as
well as WI, MN, and MO as well as IA.
This year they are considering a 300 trophy class and would like some
input as to possible attendance to aid in the decision. Please voice your
thoughts directly to Steve Townsend at smt@xxxxxxxxxxx if you live within
a reasonable drive distance and would consider bringing a 300 to enter
this class. Steve can see to it you get details and put you on the mailing
list if you would like.
Hope to see some of you there!
Dave & Carolyn Schwandt

Subject: Re: Transmission Leak help
all and such;
back in the 70's when i had a shop catering mainly to
high perf work, i used to love it when the fellow came in with his own
parts and his own diagnosis. it took me completely out of the
responsibility loop, except, of course to do a proper job on whatever
the installation was, but that was no problem, the problem was ; will
the clutch slip? [is it really a clutch pressure problem to begin with];
will the rear howl? will it really run better with the new carb? all
stuff i could use out from under.! i was happy to cook the steak and
eggs as i didnt really know what kind of refrigeration they had been
stored under and that way all i had to do is a good job, which i
intended to do anyway..

NAPA consolidated the 904 and 727; one gasket(2)/filter kit number for
either.
Noted in Fel Pro and Victor Reinz that gasket only is available, '62 up.
Fel
Pro shows earlier TF units and Powerflite. There is also a highly
recommended Tuff-Cork gasket in Victor, '62 up. This product has a steel
stiffener. This can be helpful with troublesome leakers. If the trans pan
is
super flat on the sealing flanges, both flanges are clean and super dry
and
the pan screws are torqued properly and a pan leak persists, this gasket
can
help. It does cost more. And, I have had problems getting gasket only
through NAPA using their transmission parts line, so Fel Pro and Victor
lines could be alternate sources.
BTW, most trans people abhor the use of any kind of sealer on trans pans.
I
have known Torqueflites to pressurize the case and no gasket will seal it.
Most pan leaks are installer caused. Static pressure (inherent because
fluid
level is above pan flange) and time/non driving are leak factors too.

Subject: Re: Pan gasket - Transmission
I have not seen anybody address a likely leak problem that can occur on
any
pan. After years of pan bolts being tightened w/o a torque wrench the
metal
gets pulled up around ea. pan bolt. Going from memory pan bolts only
require 18 ft lbs torque, (check your manual).
Before a pan is reinstalled you must first flatten the dimples back down.
Due to the lip on the pan you can not, (should not) try to hold the edge
of
pan on a flat surface and hammer them down. Take a socket that will clear
the pan lip, (outside surface), but as large as possible to allow the
metal
to move back as you hammer the dimple down on top of socket. take it easy
the metal will move easy.
If this is not done the dimples will seal nice at the bolts and leave the
gasket between with little pressure to seal.
As far as a T.F. pressurizing I do not belive that can happen. They are
vented just above the tail shaft housing. I have re built some real scuzzy
trans and never found them plugged.
