    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 [​IMG]),
    But I thought that'd help git your attention!

    Ford O Matic, but it should be a washable screen.
     
  3. 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
