Again, tonight some work on the Powerglide. The low band is mostly dead, and a bad fix on the manual valve lever. The rest is in very good condition.

today I work on the PG a bit. Opening the clutch pack. The disc are not so worn, but some have wave.

A general repair kit will be enough to restore this PG.

That's a good sign the trans wasn't abused. Keep us posted on progress.

I'm not sure what you question mean,  if my undertanding is correct, at the end i want the car reliable as much as possible, and beautiful as much as possible too. But it will run on the road, I would like to show it at Hershey (if possible).

Look like the powerglide has been modified over the year, I can't buy a kit from Kanter or elsewhere because my clutch pack is from a 62 powerglide. I learn, on sometime it was familiar to mix parts in those powerglide, for whatever the reason.

I found a guy who can (hopefully) sold me parts outside a kit. I'm waiting for him for a quote, and I'll buy what I need.

Let you know

Fitz.

yesterday, I worked on the intake/exhaust manifold. I remove the old exhaust manifold one from the intake. 3 years ago I found a car like mine and I take off the exhaust from it, free the heat riser valve and fix a small crack.

Tomorrow, I'll sand the "new" exhaust and plan to install it on the engine. By the way, this week or the next one, I'll receive from the machinist my new head bolts, I'll be able to install the head on the block. Also, it's Xmass time, I'll buy a new compressor, my old one, the tank was rusty, and the pump was noisy, so I don't move it in the new home garage, and I prefer to buy a new one.

Here some shot of the old exhaust manifold, the long/small crack near the heat riser valve is a common one on those manifold, but the short/large one is a weird one.
