Does anyone know if 57 ford auto-trans' have a Transmission filter?
Anyone know what I'd tell the
"parts monkey" at Kragen to look for?
(I tend to get a
"why-the-hell-are-you-making-me-look-for-that-old-PIECE-when-you-know-we-won't-have-it"
look whenever I ask for 57 ford parts...)

I'm planning on changing out the trans fluid,
and there's really no sense in doing that if I don't change the FILTER too,
right?
Thanks...

Oh yea,
Von Dutch wasn't a fag
(to my knowledge, anyway http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif),
But I thought that'd help git your attention!

Ford O Matic, but it should be a washable screen.

Also, should be obvious, but worth telling: use Type F fluid, not mercon or dexron. Your trans is the Ford-O-Matic (POS-O-Matic).

should be a washable screen..

that trans was REBUILT by a LOCAL guy that I will SPEAK for and VOUCH for,,,

it was a favor to us at LOWBOMB CUSTOMS....

The trans pan gasket I gave you is the one you need for that PAN.....

we need to hook up anyways for the other shit.....
in storage....

I think you should RE-WIRE the car,,
Get a different CARB,,,
and run some NEWER gauges
STEWART WARNER is my choice......

also on the RE-WIRE we can go ONE WIRE alt.
with internal REGULATOR,
and wire RADIO to a FUSE PANEL...

your call,,,
But I will help you out

We are making a TRIP
I'm taking John at BIG M, a thanksgiving dinner,,

call if you are into going
