Howdy,
After my startup of my 57 at the very end of last year (after many long years in the air), I have been doing some leak fixing. The biggest leak I still have comes from the speedo cable connection to the TH350. I bought a speedo bullet (with seals), and figure to swap the new bullet in. I was thinking that if I lift the rear of the car, maybe I won't end up with a gush of ATF coming out when I pull the bullet. Do you think raising the rear higher than the front will make much of a difference? Logic says yes, but maybe it won't really have much of an effect. I only ask because I have the whole car up high on jackstands, and won't mess with changing the attitude if it is a waste of time. Inquiring minds...
Thanks, Doug
