    Looking for used beauty ring and GT cap

    I'm close to getting my 68 GT/CS back on the road and I am missing one of the beauty rings and the GT dog dish center cap. I don't want to by a new one now, since I want to keep the unrestored look of the car. Does anyone have a decent ring and cap laying around they want to get rid of...

    Front & rear wheel cylinders

    I am in the process of putting new brakes on my 68 GT/CS and wanted to know what size wheel cylinders that I should purchase. The local parts stores show (2) different sizes. I have yet to take the old ones off and was out today and thought I would just go purchase them if anyone knew. My car...

    1968 NEED SOME HELP:C4 vent tube leaking fluid

    Tranny leak Rob, I haven't noticed any more fluid leaking from the overflow tube. I was sure that I would have seen more ATF leaking out of the overflow tube after I started it, but it must have been started to circulate thru the system. I haven't messed around with the car much in the last...

    1968 NEED SOME HELP:C4 vent tube leaking fluid

    Neil, There is a steel vent tube that comes down from the top of the tranny and makes a 90' bend on the left side of the tranny (safety switch side). I did fire the old girl up today. It had been 28 years since it was last started and it ran great with no signs of any leaks. I still need to...

    1968 NEED SOME HELP:C4 vent tube leaking fluid

    I recently purchased a 68 GT/CS that had been parked since 1981 due to a transmission leak. The transmission was pulled and it sat until 5 months ago. I was told that the transmission shifted fine, but had a massive leak when the engine was running. Before installing the transmission I replaced...

    What's wrong with my C4 tranny?

    This helps a bunch! I think that the torque converter has some space to still go backwards. I haven't tried to start the car, just turn the engine over by hand. I hope I haven't damaged anything (pump gear). Thanks, Anthony

    What color stripes should I have?

    Thanks for all the imput. I guess I'll try to see if I can find any remnants of the original decals and go from there. The decals should be non-reflective?

    What's wrong with my C4 tranny?

    I don't have the starter bolted up and all of the spark plugs are out of the engine. I have tried to use a long screw driver to turn the flywheel, but it only moves about an inch in either direction.?????????????? Anthony

    What's wrong with my C4 tranny?

    After setting for 27 years, I just installed the transmission in my 68 gt/cs. I replaced the imput and output seals, cleaned the torque converted collar and slid the converter onto the imput shaft until the 2 notches on the converter dropped into place. I then bolted the tranny up, hooked up...
