    Ha! This is truly the week of good news!

    Tore that car apart, much to my niece's dismay I made her drive over to my house to do it. She still mentions it.

    OK, so now that you're OK and all that......what's next? We need to see some finished product. this board doesn't take slackers lightly! I seem to recall a 65 GS with the nose scattered through all points of the compass! And save one of those 425's for me, and I expect a ST-400 with that!

    (it's important to point out that I am in possession of a very rare, hand carried Holley 3 bbl that I have done absolutely nothing with!)

    If I could get someone to give me $7,000 for that car,,, they would get it and all the new parts along with it..... I have it about 90% done now,,, it can be started up and moved around,,, I got to find the leak in the newly rebuilt switch pitch.... :laugh: before I can take it out on the street.....

    Ugh - good luck with that. Mine leaks like crazy and I've tried sealing it at least 3 times. Pan mostly, but front cover and seal too. If it didn't kick like a mule the ST400 would be sitting in it's place a year ago....

    Rhett,,, there is a large o-ring that seals the front pump.... you have to remove the tork converter, take out the ring of bolts that holds the front pump and then pull the front pump cover off and the o-ring is on the edge of the cover.... that is why mine is still leaking,,, i havent done that.... yet.... :laugh:

    nope - that thing is going to it's grave with tranny fluid on it's chin. I'm done chasing leaks. Took me 30 years to figure that out!

    Hi Doc, It's been a while since we have heard from you. It's great that there is no Cancer. Really glad that you are on the mend.
