Re: New '65 Project in Florida
Mechanically it is ready to move under it's own power...with the exception of the transmission. It has a 700r4 and when I put it in gear it doesn't do anything. When I first got the engine started (I have ran it for about a total of 15 minutes), something was making a loud sound - kind of like a supercharger sounds. Initially I didn't think to much about it - because it also has a Pete Jackson gear drive - which makes a similar sound. The longer I ran it the louder it got. I checked the dipstick on the tranny and the fluid wasn't even touching it. I added ten quarts and it still made noise and still didn't move. I jacked the truck up, took out the converter bolts and slid the converter back. The noise went away. Good news for the engine...the problem is not there...but I don't know about the tranny. I don't know if the guy I bought this "project" from put fluid in the converter. He says the transmission was newly rebuilt and the converter was new ???? Is there a way to test the converter now to see if it is OK? How about the transmission? If he didn't put any fluid it the converter, will the converter pick up the fluid by me adding it to the transmission? Should I pull the converter, add fluid to it, put it back in and try it again?

Re: New '65 Project in Florida
I wish I could help you but I have a ? too about this that could help people.
I bought a B&M converter new. It came with some oil in it and didn't say anything about adding. Will the trans fill it. It's pretty much the same ? as wlevick

X3
With basically no fluid in the trans, I'd be surprised if there isn't some damage. Quote:

The front fenders are on and the hood and bed are back from being media blasted.

Re: New '65 Project in Florida
Well...the transmission is in the shop and the mechanic said third gear is gone and it has the wrong converter. He said it is a 27 spline transmission and has a 30 spline converter - or vice versa. Nothing that $550 want fix.
