Very true. There are a few that I would love to still own.

I'll try to compile my list but no photos. 1972 Buick Skylark 1967 Camaro 1969 Camaro SS 350 1974 Pontiac Trans Am 455 1984 Ford Mustang GT (first new car) 1980 Pontiac Trans Am 305/4 speed 1987 Chevy S10 Blazer 1969 Chevy El Camino 1990 Ford Mustang GT 1994 Ford Explorer 1990 Mazda B2200 1993 GMC Typhoon 1969 Camaro Z/28 (orange) 1995 Chevy 1500 1969 Camaro SS 350/4 speed (Pace Car edition) 2001 VW Beetle turbo 1969 Camaro Z/28 (green) 2004 Mini Cooper supercharged 2008 Mini Cooper conv supercharged 1969 Chevy Nova SS 1987 Buick GN 2002 Ford F150 2000 Dodge Viper GTS 2012 Ford F150 (still own) 2014 VW Beetle turbo 1966 Chevy Corvette conv 502/4 speed 2018 Ford Mustang GT (still own) 1969 Pontiac Firebird 400 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo 454 SS

Sorry about the omission of what transmission. I thought my signature would show it. This is for my 1970 454SS with TH400. I only dropped the pan (original) and replaced the filter and kickdown switch. It didn't take a lot of fluid to refill.

Couldn't find an answer via search. Changed the transmission filter and installed new fluid recently and need to understand the procedure for checking the level. First, what is the length of the dipstick just so that I can be sure it will show the correct level? How to check level? Check level when hot and engine off or engine running?

Sorry to hear that. I should get rid of my 1970 SS since I rarely drive it. It has been completely restored and too nice for me to drive it a lot. Maybe you could put some miles on it. Let me know if you want more info.

I've considered selling my 1970 SS but it doesn't have the tach and gauges. Let me know if you may be interested.

VIN: 138570L132778 Documents: Original window sticker but no photo available yet. Exterior Color: Astro Blue Vinyl Top: No Interior Color: Black Bucket Seats: Yes Notes: Complete restoration by Tommy Coulter (member here) approximately 2011. Original 454. Not sure about trans mission and rear axle upgraded to 3:08 posi. Load leveler system there but not functioning.

I did not see my SS on your list. Let me know what info you want and I will gather it.

I would be willing to sell mine. Let me know if you are interested. I sent you a chat message previously.

I'm fairly sure I was still in the shop when I was trying to tune in an fm station. I'll pull it out of the shop next time and try again. Didn't think it would hinder the fm reception.

Pulled my factory am/8 track out to replace with a Custom Autosound unit. I assume that the factory windshield antenna is primarily for am only since picking up fm stations seems spotty. What have any of you done for an fm antenna in the car?

Finally got around to working on the kickdown solenoid a couple of weekends ago. Ordered a new solenoid, pan gasket and filter. Dropped the trans pan, cleaned everything up and replaced the pan gasket and filter. Swapped the solenoid and buttoned everything up. Initially put too much fluid back into the trans and ended up siphoning some of it out. Drove the for for about 30 miles and the kickdown now works. WooHoo.

I just checked my switch at the pedal with power and my meter. There is 12v with the key on and switch in the resting position and both leads on the two wires. When the switch is depressed there is 0v. Is this correct. It seems opposite to me.

I checked all of my wiring and here is what I have: At the pedal switch is an Orange wire and a Purple w/black line wire. The relay on the firewall gutter has a Green, a Blue and a Black/Purple wire (the relay appears to be an original since it looks old). The wiring at the trans has an Orange and I think a Black wire (did not jack up the car to verify the dark colored wire is black). Now I just need to figure out where and what is working or not. Some guidance would be appreciated.

I will look at my wiring again and validate what color wires at each location. I have not looked for the relay on the firewall gutter yet. Heck, I didn't even know this setup was called TCS. I'd like to know a little more on how it works. Such as, does the pedal switch send a 12v signal thru one wire when the switch is activated?
