    Hey Okie, greetings from Tulsa. I'm about to rebuild my 66 c4 and wondered if i should just order thrust washers bearings and servo o rings? Ive got a tan alto master kit w/ bushings and trans-go valve body kit, also, what did you use to clean all the parts in?

    Lawzee Dub, nice how-to video. I have a 1966 mustang 200 6 and the c4 wont shift into 3rd. I'm in tulsa, do you rebuild c4's? I'll remove and install and deliver and pickup the trans. The trans did have a 2nd to 3rd flair, so i adjusted the bands and modulator and now it wont go into 3rd.

    Julio, that’s a question that 5 people would give you a 100 answers 😂. The 700r4 will fit. I guess it all depends on how you will drive it and if you want overdrive or not. If you’re driving a lot of highway miles the r4 would be better be driving around town a 350 or 400 might be better.

    Question about the 2 horizontal bolt holes on your replacement piece. Their placement seems critical. Did you weld in the replacement piece without referencing the final locations of those 2 holes. The holes on my 65 mustang are disfigured to the point where I can't precisely locate their center. Do you know of a document showing dimensions of where it should be? Thanks

    @tedwards9461 I took several measurements to locate the holes before cutting out the old piece out. The new piece came with the holes and threads so just had to line it up and weld it up. Thanks for watching.

    Got a mustang once and the previous owner just laid floor pans over the rusted out floor and welded it in. I ended up using a Dynacorn full floor so I didn’t have to fix his laziness and I got all new firewall back w/o the headache of individual patches and rails. Food for thought, the full floors are a little costly (shop around, price can be as much as $1000 different). Keep up the good work, checking out your other videos

    The '65 Mustang I bought recently has an OG Pertronix on it that is probably 20+ years old. I've noticed some 'browning' of the label which some folks say is heat due to leaving the ignition on. A spare and coil isn't a bad idea for longer trips.

    Have any of you compared the patch rail to the full frame rail? I measured the left and right frame rail patches I received from CJ Pony and the rear spring shackle upper mount hole is 1/4" off from factory. It's closer to the bumper which will increase the distance from front to rear leaf spring mount. Curious if this will cause any issues/concerns with rear suspension.

    Make sure all valves move smooth in the bores without oil. They should fall out of the bores under their own weight. Also after tightening valve body bolts check to make sure the valves work smoothly. Sometimes tightening the valve body bolts can distort the bores and stick a valve. C4 valve bodies usually don't have this problem, but best to check.

  • @GaryH-pw9cm
    @GaryH-pw9cm Жыл бұрын

    When working on valve bodies for the first time ziplock bags can be your friend. Put each valve and spring in a bag and mark it with a pen as to what valve it is. It is easy to become confused and get things mixed up otherwise.
