Hi...good to see you're making progress! The TH400 uses a bigger yoke than the TH350...so you may get into a fun situation finding a driveshaft that will work. The driveshafts used with the TH350 use

I saw an ad running in Hemmings for several years, "Wanted: 55-59 original power steering parts". If you can find all the parts for it, the original power steering would be neat, but I think I've onl

Wow, I'm glad to see that everyone can tell you where to buy wheel bearings...but someone ought to tell you to look at the ones you have BEFORE you buy new ones! Pull off the wheels and drums, and re

Oh, what fun! Back when my first 59 pickup was still new to me, we had rebuilt the 235, and I was a new teenage driver also...so I of course had to test how fast the truck would go. Flat out on a lev

When it rains it pours... I got my new kingpins in, and decided not to do the front brakes, as they still look pretty good. I did want to repack the front wheel bearings, as it's been about 8000 mile

The reason it behaves as it does when you pull the plug wire away, is that the plug is misfiring, the spark is just leaking to ground. When you pull the wire away, it makes it harder for the spark to

Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2000 07:25:33 -0700
I've done it...the gage still works ok, but it is "jumpy"...that is, it reacts quickly. The gage is designed so that it doesn't care about battery voltage, otherwise your reading would be off when th

Hey, it looks like we're both right...the gage will show how much gas you have, but it'll burn out quickly. So, take his advice, and stick to 6 volts with your 6 volt gage. Or, if you are electronica
