Title: a '67 Transaxle with a Doghouse? Post by: 56BLITZ on June 23, 2012, 07:29:11 am I have what I believe is a ‘67 transaxle . . . 12 volt, short splines, long tubes, two-prong switch in the nose cone. The upper left hole in the bellhousing has a provision to hold the head of the bolt, but it does not work so well with a late ( doghouse ) engine case that has the insert. Should I grind a couple flat sides on a washer to fit the trans case, or should I grind those things off of the trans case, or is there some other way for me to tighten that top bolt?

Yep, that's what I did on my '70... Title: Re: a '67 Transaxle with a Doghouse? Post by: 56BLITZ on June 27, 2012, 08:03:58 am Thanks for the help folks!
I agree . . . those things have to go. This will be the trans for my new project. I am stoked to get started on it! |
