Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well I had a but if a gap between the flywheel and the torque converter pads, but after I posted here I went and searched a bit more ad I guess sometimes that happens and all you do is slide the converter up to the flywheel the rest of the way so I'm going to get the little 3/4" long grade 8 bolts to bolt it together today.
Update: 700r is in! List of stuff to do: Bolt trans to engine-DONE Install dipstick-DONE Install new brake light switch-DONE Run power wire to terminal of cruise control portion on BLS-DONE make new coolant lines-DONE Install shift linkage-DONE Install last portion of TV made easy kit on carburetor and attach cable-DONE Install driveshaft/driveline- new driveshaft is 1" too long, need to go exchange it for shorter one Fill the trans full with fluid-DONE Hookup ground to frame-DONE Order new CPP trans crossmember-DONE should be here tue-wed Install new trans crossmember-not done Last edited by 67chevy1series; 10-28-2014 at 12:50 AM. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Ok so I got the new lines... But I don't know what happened the lower one is about 6" too short?? So something happened when I measured that one out... Geez that's a pretty big distance to miss haha... So I installed the upper line but I'm waiting tomorrow to get the right lower line length.
I installed the ground and torque converter bolts so it's really just up to the lower line, drive shaft,crossmember, and filling it full of ATF and then the test driving begins. Anyways did some research and the place I got the driveshaft said there was a two inch difference between the 700r drive shaft and the th350's... Guess the guy was wrong or got it mixed up because everything I'm seeing says 3" which makes sense since I had a 61" and the new one is a 58" and it's an inch too long so 57" is the golden number here. I'm going to try and also take care of the drive line dilemma tomorrow as well. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well managed to get the lines both on and start filling the trans with fluid and now my biggest issue is finding a driveline... It is amazing how hard it is if you aren't getting one made/shortened/ lengthened!

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Why not just have one made?

Well I had a personal goal to install the 700r and get everything worked out and drive it this Friday to go hangout with friends for Halloween. Well I'm not crazy, well I started last Thursday so that have me 8 days to do it... That's plenty of time to get a trans installed especially considering I've already spent countless months preparing the trans... Well today FedEx showed up with my crossmember but it was actually the 47-59 transmission crossmember.. So I called cpp and we got it all worked out and there going to send my 63-72 tran crossmember out as soon as they can but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be here by Friday so I'm still waiting on a crossmember and a driveline and I've only got today and tomorrow to make it happen.thats not happening so looks like the 67 gets another week off lol |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Rick did you look in the classified section for a drive shaft? They pop up occasionally. I know shipping sucks but it's a thought. I just had a new tube put on my yokes at a local shop. Seems like it was around $100 out the door with new U-Joints installed and balanced.
You don't have access to a pick and pull salvage there do you? They sell them here for $11 at our pull-a-part. You could get a donor and have the yokes put on a new tube and still save the 350 shaft. Just a few of my cheap thoughts...... Nice turnaround time on the 700 install. We will need more pictures though. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Upon working on the 67 and basically waiting for parts or making preparation for new parts I've been doing little things to the frame like swapping out hardware for grade 8 hardware and while I was doing this I started messing with the steering shaft and I noticed that there is a lot of play between the piece attached to the bottom of the column and the piece attached to the gear box, so after I finish the 700r install and once it's back driving real nice and dependable again then I'm going to do something about that. I'm considering just swapping out that entire shaft for another set up, I kinda don't want to go back with the original style as it seems a little outdated compared today's standards and also I want something a little more stronger that won't go out anytime soon. So what would you guys recommend for a new shaft?

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Ok so I got a driveshaft. I installed it and made a temporary crossmember, so today I've been test driving the truck. After a couple drives it's been getting better, at first it wouldn't shift into 2,3,4, but I finally got it to shift now the trans does have a shift kit and since it uses a TV cable I still need to make adjustments in order for the shifting to get a little smoother but I'm sure it's just being a little stubborn that I awoke it from years of sleeping but the only thing that concerns me is that as soon as I shift it into gear; reverse or drive it sends power almost immediately and if I hold the brakes to keep the truck in one spot and let the engine idle in gear then the engine dies., and once I start driving the truck and try to come to a stop like as if I was at a stop light then then engine starts to run real rough and wants to die until I put it into neutral... So if I could just get that taken care of then I would say it's all going well

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Almost sounds like the converter isn't unlocking to me....

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
If this is the case how do you force it to unlock?

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
I have no experience in doing a swap so can't give you an intelligent answer. Hopefully someone can chime in. But I believe it's electrical, I'm not sure if power locks it or unlocks it.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well I've got news. Good news is; CPP crossmember will be here on the 1st.
Bad news is there won't be a transmission in my truck to use the crossmember... The 700r has to come out.. So I've done some reasearch and there's about an 80% chance that my 700r when it was rebuilt had the pump changed for a non lock up system, and they have my dad (since it was his at the time) a locking converter to install on the trans. Now incase someone looks at this thread in the future for information I'm going to explain what has to happen. When you alter the pump for non lockup YOU MUST put a "dummy" converter in meaning a torque converter made for a 700r that can't lock. They must be paired or you will have problems like I am experiencing, by altering the pump you change the flow of fluid and this directly sends fluid to the converter and if you have a locking converter installed (which you shouldn't if your pump is set up for non lock up) then this apples the lock up feature on you converter thus making it ways locked. This is seeming to be the case with my trans, the trans must've been built on a Monday if they were stupid enough to install a locking converter... Anyways enough ranting. So trans will come out and I guess I'll take it to a shop I trust and have friends at and I'll have them switch the necessary parts out to make it lock up only by way of solenoid almost like the factory.... If I install it and it still gives me trouble then I'll put the trans and this will be the last automatic in my 67. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well I guess everything has a price and for getting a rebuilt 700r for free from your dad comes with alotttt of labor haha... Well about this time I would be installing the cpp crossmember that just came in but no need so it's just going to have to sit on the work bench and look pretty haha
