Evening All, lots of little things accomplished this afternoon. 8 more bolts and the engine comes out. All the wiring is disconnected from the engine, fuel filter housing is removed. Vacuum line to the trans has come out. Oil lines are disconnected from the engine. All that remain are 6...

Hello All. Today I started disassembly to remove the engine. Removed the alts, radiator, generator speed controller. Took lots of pictures to remember where everything goes.

One last update for today. used a 1/16 drill bit to drill two holes in the shifter shaft seal. Screwed in two #8 screws, used vise grips to lock on and then a large flat tip to provide leverage to walk it out. No damage to the shaft. A little Dexron III on the seal and a 9/16 deep socket...

Replacing the seal and gasket on the front pump went surprisingly well. Homemade slide hammers work well except for the one pinched finger. Very clean inside the trans. Barely any grit on the magnet. I am replacing the original pan with a new one that has a drain plug. One of the cats...

Hello All. Been getting work done lately. Resealed the transfer case over the last month. yesterday I removed the trans crossmember, torque converter cover and torque converter bolts and unbolted the starter. Today after cleaning up the shop I pulled the transmission, power washed everything...

Spring break is here, getting some time in the shop. Over the last month I managed to reseal the transfer case. In the last two days I removed the transmission and pressure washed it. Getting ready to reseal it this week. Then it will be time to pull the engine.

I know your pain…

Here is a picture of the tool. It allows you to push the lock plate down so you can remove the snap ring. the turn signal switch is below the lock plate.

Good evening! Read your post above. The switch arm mounts into the wiper switch...

If you were having to “hold” the arm to make the right turn work, the plastic mechanical switch has physically broken.

Without pictures and based on what you have posted, it sounds like it is time to replace the turn signal switch behind the steering wheel. 40 year old plastic becomes very brittle...

1971 El Camino had swivel buckets also.

By chance are there any m1010 alternator brackets hiding in there?

My copy of the LO shows dexron II for both the 208 and 205. I expect they might have typod for dex III

Yup, 208 has a pump. 205 does not.

No oil pump. Slinger only.

That would be a good explanation also.

I really wish my data plate looked that clean. Mine got wiped out by paint stripper…

I believe the answer is the PTO. I Don’t think the NP 208 can accept the PTO. The NP 205 can. PTO was needed to drive the generator in the M1031s.

Could be. :) LOL
