I have a couple of questions that I need help/advice on. I see people
talking about a "nailhead" hydramatic transmission for earlier model cars,
will this transmission fit my 1971 bell housing and if it will where is the
best place to get one? I'd like one with OD if possible. Since I installed
the 3.55 gears I'm getting some spring wrap-up on a fast start. Will just
adding another leaf to the springs solve the problem? Thanks.

I've never seen one, but I've heard that Jeep did indeed put the nailhead trans behind the AMC six.
Anyone ever seen one???

this tranny is a th400 first used with the early-'60s buick 'nailhead'
[hence the name] v8s. they had a very deep flywheel recess, so the
converter housing on the tranny case was comparatively shallow. thus
it is possible to make adapter rings to mount the nailhead case to
different bolt patterns, and this is what jeep, jaguar, rolls royce,
ferrari, and apparently landrover did.
jeep used them from '65 to about '73 or so, when they switched to a
custom amc-pattern case. they had adapter rings for the kaiser
'tornado' ohc 230, the '64-'71 232, the nash 327, the buick 350 [yes -
i've seen one], and the late amc v8/6 pattern.
no, it won't bolt to your bellhousing. with the right adapter ring it
will bolt to your block. advance adapters also has a plate that puts
a standard gm th400 onto an amc v8 block.
no, it doesn't have an o/d - though there are aftermkt o/d for the
th400.
ferrari and rolls have used the th400-based 4L80 4sp, but i don't know
if it has a 'nailhead' front or not. landrover used until recently a
nailhead-case something-or-other, but whether it's still the old th400
or a more recent 4sp remains to be discovered.
--
the original hydramatic is a comparatively primitive 4sp auto from the
'40s, maybe '30s. [for instance, it has a 'fluid coupling' instead of
a proper torque converter] almost everyone used them, but production
ended when the factory burned down about '53 iirc.

i've only seen it in the brochures and the mitchell master
interchange. they also briefly offered it behind the kaiser ohc 6,
before they shipped that motor to argentina.

I was sent some recent pictures of the Charity AMX that should be up on the
website (http://www.mattsoldcars.com/charityamx) either tomorrow night or
Saturday. The car is in primer now and looked to have a guide coat applied
to it for final sanding.

Just listed is a beauty of a '64 Classic 770 sedan. If this car is up to what the ad claims, it's a drop-dead gorgous example of the type. Granted, it's a "grannie car", but it's a beautiful surviving example, and IMHO, not over priced.

Someone needed to tell'em about magnetic sign vinyl to close off the cowl vents without all the mud!!! You get it from a sign shop, cut it to fit and peelk it off when you show it or it is pretty, stick it on when it looks like rain.
Of course you could always FIX THE RUSTY COWL!
I think we know a wee bit about those now don't we!

Not mine, but here?s a link to make it easy to get to.
Should be very nice for a driver, and fixable enough to show(?).
22 hours left, $60 to start?no bids yet.
