If you removed the transmission there could be a bolt or tool accident left in the bell housing area that jammed against the torque converter then when you rotated it the other way it move out the way, crazier things have happened.
Change the oil and filter after the first start and cam bed in to get all the grease and other impurities out. Use break in oil or a basic mineral for a while before using any type of synthetic oil.
It has a H so would it be a 340 car? If so why BH not BS? Were the VIN tags screwed into the dash pad when new or was the dash pad replaced at some point?
I would just keep it in dry storage and leave it alone, why waste time/money if your not going to use it. A freshly machined engine needs to be used or the internals will rust also why modify and stress you matching number block the last thing you want is a failure of that irreplaceable engine.
Try R/T specialities they have a lot of Mopar specific fasteners and next time screw the fastener back into the part throwing them in a bucket or drawer with others is a rookie move.
The car I need it for is a real V code so I would prefer original but I can't even find a reproduction set. I have been in touch with A & A Transmissions and a few other vendors and no luck.
Another tip is to grind the tip of the socket you use to tighten the bolt this gets rid of the chamfer and gives you more contact so it won't slip and round off the bolt as the hex on the bolt is very narrow.
Hi all
I am looking for a 3 piece kick down linkage for a 1970 V code Cuda with the 727 transmission (obviously). Genuine or repop as long as it looks original or if someone has the knowledge to match one up with modified or existing rods.
Cheers Mark.
