Re: 65 Caliente trans

Looking at the pan gaskets on line, the number of bolt holes has me believing it’s a C4.

Can someone tell me if I have a Merc-O-Matic or a C4? Is there a way to determine by looking?

Re: C4 breather tube

Boss…..
You were correct, my friend. The tube just pulls out and pushes back in. I wanted to make certain that it was blocked. It wasn’t. 👍

An alternative to the stock starter?

My car has stock exhaust manifolds and the exhaust pipes both pass under the stock starter. It’s a beeatch to change the starter as there’s very little room to work the thing in and out. I have to loosen the left exhaust pipe to manifold joint to get some pipe movement, and partially dismantle the s...

Re: C4 breather tube

If you remove the bolt from the tab that supports the tube, the tube will rotate were it enters the case. Can I just pull it out? The trans is in the car and there’s very little room to work within the floor tunnel

Re: C4 breather tube

No, not the dipstick tube. That’s on the right side. This is on the left side.Image

C4 breather tube

How does it connect to the trans body? There’s a bolt that attaches to a clip about midway on the tube. That I see, but, is the tube end just “snapped” in? I hesitate to horse it off not understanding the connection. (I’m concerned that it could be blocked.)

I’m not active enough on Facebook to be savvy to it’s nuances. I accidentally did that “is it still available?”, yet he still responded.

Re: 65 Comet for sale in Hortonville WI

Johno,
Yes it is. I contacted him and I’m going to take a look on Saturday morning. I’ve no intentions of buying it. But, I figured I might be helpful to someone who may be interested. I’ll try to get some more photos. Anything in particular you’d like to have me check out for you?

Re: Disc Brake Conversion

Lee,
Will do. You’ll have to wait a few months though. My plans are to install the valves over the coming winter.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion

Jim and Minion, Tell me about these 2lb front and 10lb rear residual check valves. As they’re different lb ratings, are they compatible with each other? Is the 2lb front and 10lb rear the way to go? What size of a contraption are they? Where do you get them? And where do you install them? I installe...
