Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
First off, very cool pics! im jealous.... i wish i was driving mine
as for your questions i have some "suggestions" lol 1&3- i am not by any means a tranny expert but i was having similar problems with mine. have you tried checking the fluid and the filter? beyond that i have no idea 2- i had the same problem with my pedal, i found that the spring was worn AND in the wrong hole on the carb linkage causing it to get caught on the linkage itself 4- Im lost 5- when you say you pulled out the gear? the gear in the tranny? i know if that is worn it can cause a problem, also a little WD-40 down the end of the speedo cable wouldn't hurt Hope you get all the gremlins worked out!

this is where it was, it was getting caught on the screw behind the linkage This is where it is now, not rocket science but the PO must have been

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
the picture doesnt show, but trying manuver in there was actually a tough job not to mention there were impatient cars behind me. usually i park away from the store or in more vacant spots of the parking lot but wasnt really able to do it that time.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well I've got the oil leak fixed so the engine is squared away the transmission has stokers leaking as well. Now I need to figure out what's causing my super slow brake fluid leak... It look as if the proportioning valve is no good. All the lines are on correctly and it seems that it's still leaking and it's messed up the paint on my inner fenderwell.... so still have work to do but I'm still driving it.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Hey Rick sorry to hear you are having problems with leaks.
Unscrew the lines between the master and the prop and check the seats on the hardware, its possible that you have a bad seat or some debris in there, but if not then check the ends of the lines themselves you might have a cracked line where its flared, take your time and really look close with a magnifying glass and use a flashlight if you have to. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
i made a new vacuum line for the transmission. this line is much bigger so it will breat much better now. im going to try and make the back of the carbeurator split into to 2 lines so i can put the brake booster line and the transmission together there and the front port thats larger in the middle will stay for my PCV, the smaller port on the left will be for my vacuum advance, and the smaller port to the right will be for my vacuum canister for the AC. truck is doing really good now. i ofiicially deem it ready to go on the highway ive got pictures from driving around and stuff but i cant post them yet when i get home i will. gonna try and make my engine bay look nicer.... someway somehow lol.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well didn't get the seat belt yesterday so hopefully today.
Yesterday I decided I didn't like how my mirrors were olive green.... They finally got there time to shine. So I took em off and scuffed the green and shot them with some nice metallic silver, they look kinda chromy when the sunlight hits them and my passenger side mirror arm was olive green as well so I sanded it down as well and painted it black. After that there were a couple lights that weren't working right... Dome light and the shift indicator light. So I pulled the carpet back a little bit and undid all the areas where I connected the wire, one of them was bad so I redid it and taped it all back up with electrical tape like the factory does and while I was there I shortened it so it runs right by the kick panel and not over on the floor under the carpet. Next up was the shift indicator light, the end on it was bad where it plugs into the fuse box so I redid the end and now it works all the time. Now about my speedometer.... Out of nowhere yesterday the thing starts working, then when I was driving home I got up to 60 mph and it just drops dead.... So I'm thinking that the little plastic gear that the speedometer cable goes into on the transmission doesn't have a nice square hole in it anymore probably has a oval or more circular whole which probably only catches for under 60 mph and not over... So I'll get a new gear and then find out of that does the trick. I have been taking pictures, but between school and driving I don't have any time to get on the computer to actually upload pictures Posted via Mobile Device |
