General Discussion / powerglide tranny dust boot

« on: February 09, 2012, 10:56:44 PM »

Help! just got my car back from paint and ready to begin re-assembly. I have discovered that my powerglide shifter "dust boot" is in bad shape. (torn and rotted) I have spent most of the day looking on the internet for a replacement and I am striking out. Anyone have any suggestions?? I can find all kinds of T-400 boots but they are not as deep and will not accept the powerglide "stalk" that fits into the boot, which is exposed under the floor pan.

General Discussion / 67 interior color - red

« on: October 24, 2011, 05:30:49 PM »

My 67 R/S is nearly ready for paint and we are trying to determine the correct interior color formula for the red interior. Looking at an original color chart, there may be two possibilities which are both Lucite colors. One is decribed as "red" with a formula of 9366LM while the other is 9201LM and is described as "dark red". Some portions of my original interior appear to be dark red while kick panels, convertible top boot, and other areas less prone to modification by the sun appear to be a brighter red. I will be replacing the entire interior but have not ordered the seat material or carpet or door panels and just want to be sure that the dash and upper doors are the correct color of red so that I will not need to repaint the dash later. Any ideas on the correct interior color formula?

I am putting a 3.55 ring gear and pinion in my 8.25 ten bolt, it came with 2.56( I think) is there any thing that I should know about the swap? I set up the pinion to the specs with the gear set, and the ring gear is way off from the backlash setting.(about 100 thou.) any help on this?
