    AOD swap OD question - Answered

    Not aware about any electrical connections that could change the way it works. There is nothing inside the trans that is connected to anything aside the one way switch that could be used to replace the safety switch in our cars. You mind sharing your answer?

    Fabrice's 429CJ 71 project

    Time for a little update Thanks to life, cold, a broken compressor and time spent learning new ways (for me) to form metal, nothing much been done or better said not at the expected pace... End of last year, I fixed the rear passenger floor mostly, but postponed the repair for the weak...

    1973 Grande Build

    I’ve just rebuild mine. It’s not difficult but it is tedious, especially if you don’t want some quick repair beautified with tons of bondo. I have posted some steps of the repair in my build thread about 2 months ago may that be of a help. Another option is to look for a donor car, but from...

    Repro Outside Door Handles

    I’ve cut the rubber, which were twice the thickness of the original ‘bumpers’. One of the very few repops that not only respected the original but were of superior finish (plating).

    429 Fan Shroud

    Just make sure it's not coming from mac antics. I got their "usa made super high quality" repop of the 429 shroud. The thing which they even dared to put a sticker of quality control on it, is a miserable POS! terrible quality.

    C6 WITH NO REVERSE?

    Has the trans been "revised"? The KD lever should be spring loaded when free, easy to turn. If ok and trans worked before the revision, then it sounds as if the valves body has not been placed back properly, too loose or over torqued. If it doesn't seal properly to the casing, the ports (body to...

    Fabrice's 429CJ 71 project

    @Idaho Chris No talent here, just the need to move in a cold garage :D Note that for this specific piece, the "credit card - receive - bolt it" method would fail as this region of the floor is not sold anywhere, only full floor repros have this portion in them. Restoring and maintaining an...
