Ed, My advise for what it's worth, don't waste your $$$ on the old one, you may fix one thing but all the parts inside are probably on their way out too. I tried to fix mine with new seals in the shaft end and sealer etc. It was still a piece of junk. A new one will last many years and no more...

Ed, Just talked to Casco and they said they use DextronIII. I will still use F in the tranny. Casco said they have had no problems with the Dextron so I guess I will leave it in there. Rusty1

Another note: did some research on type A and found this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission_fluid . Interesting read. Type A was a GM fluid originally. Replaced by Dextron and revised to DextronIII. A 50/50 mix of type F and Dextron will give an exact copy of the old type A. I can see...

I GOOGLED it and it came up on Amazon. Is it not the same. Is the new type A different than the old type A?? It was $7.34 a qt. ?????? Rusty1

That being said should I run type A fluid or is type F better? Rusty1

Well this makes ME wonder, are these units only supposed to have F type fluid in them. I know the tranny MUST have F type but I thought the PS could use other like Dex III. Haven't driven the car yet so will drain it out if it is not the right stuff. Pump, reservoir, control valve all rebuilt...

Yea, I've looked at the one from Casco but don't like the look of it, I want something that more resembles the stock tach. There are some cheap Sun tach's on ebay and am thinking of getting one to try to modify. Thanks for the reply. Rusty1

Has anyone put in an electronic tach in place of the cable driven tach. If so what tach did you use and what mods were necessary? Thaanks, Rusty1

Paul2748, as stated I already have the adapter. Just want to know if this setup will work OK. Rusty1

Hi guys, ain't been here for a while. On my 56 I have the stock ECZ-9425A intake manifold. I want to replace the teapot for a later 4150/4160 carb. I have an adapter plate and a 57 distributor. Will it work? How can I make it work? Thanks, Rusty1

Hi again, So what is the big difference between single and dual point dizzy's. Why is a dual point supposed to be better than single. The power comes from the coil, right? Thanks again, Rusty1

56 drop curtain Paul, Did you ever get this? Rusty1

distributor Jimz Bird Thanks for the response. Well the thing is you see, I don't really have it yet. It is a tach drive unit out of a Cruiser and I think the gear is already a 14 tooth, not sure of that though. I am bidding on it and the seller says it was in a '55 bird. I too have queried on...

Hi all, Will a 57 Merc FEK 12127 C2 fit in a 312 block. I know the FEK is for a 368 block. Don't know the difference in the blocks. Thanks, LB

Hi guys, anyone have any experience with a W&H Dupoint distributor. What cap do they use and will it work on my 56, that is to say will the tach work with stock drive gear and cable. Thanks to all, Rusty1

rear window my66cruiser, One of my buds is redoing a 65 buick skylark convert. and the windshield is put in the same way. I guess in the early 60's all the manufacturers started doing it that way. Still done that way today. Rusty1

peter1956 Those things may solve the problem but when you get a bump squeak you'll know where it is coming from. The insulator is an anti-squeak item. Rusty1

leak peter1956, one side or both?

torque converter problem paul2748, 'K, thanks, I will go with the converter shop guys recomendation. That will save me $175. Rusty1

gbhrps, I checked with Hill's and they do have the metal shield at a cost of $500-$1000 depending on condition. Yeah, right. Most all of the parts suppliers have the glass ones for $250. I can get the scoop for $75 (repro). Thanks for all the info. Rusty1
