OK, maybe I'm old and getting "testy" but I just had a purchase with CJ Pony that as they say here in Texas "got my dander up". I went online and ordered a minor item - less than $10 - because I needed it and found it on CJ's website. I used to get a lot of stuff from there but not so much in recent years. The item was shipped and the I got an email from something called "Extend" thanking me for signing up for their service. Had no idea what this was so I emailed CJ - can never get anyone on the phone so I emailed - asking what this was about. I did get a response advising me that Extend is their insurance which is an "optional add-on" offered at the time of purchase and I needed to unselect the option if I didn't want it. Then I was told - No worries! The cost was only 98 cents! Dammit, it was my 98 cents. Anyway, maybe I am making a mountain out of a mole hill but in my view it is a somewhat shady business practice to require an "opt out" for insurance on purchases. Even the airlines don't do that.
As I stated earlier, I used to buy from CJ years ago but this will be the last time for me.  Rick
 

OK, I think I waited long enough that I can now state that the one-way check valve installed in the trans cooler line solved the problem. Thanks CPatrick. I was away for a week and feared having a surprise puddle of fluid under the car when I got home. Not a drop! What a relief after years of frustration!. 

OK, I installed a check valve in the cooler line. Now we wait. Will advise.   Rick

Thanks. That should do nicely.

I think that is REALLY HELPFUL! Thanks a bunch! My '67 would not have the internal check valve so when I take the car back to the transmission shop I'll suggest the check valve in the cooler line. I'm surprised that they didn't pick that up earlier as they have been in this business for decades. 

This has been going on for a couple of years. Occasionally I get a large puddle of transmission fluid under the car. In the past I would try to identify the source, clean everything up (yes, I've tried the white powder spray) tighten everything, change the pan gasket, etc. It would be OK for a week, maybe two and then another puddle. It seems to be coming from up top on the driver side. I finally took it to a transmission shop highly recommended by several friends. The chap suggested that as I had not really done much with the tranny in 20 years they should pull it and do an overhaul. I agreed and they did. 
Well, I got it back last week and all was fine - until this morning when there it was, a large puddle. From what I've read, there is an overflow tube up top on the driver side. I've never overfilled the thing but I wonder if the fluid could be coming from there for some reason. 
I'll be taking the car back to the tranny guy but I thought that maybe someone on the forum has seen this before. 
I'm just a bit frustrated. Thanks for any suggestions.   Rick  

FYI for anyone thinking about the American AutoWire kit - the chap who installed it for me had worked with the American AutoWire stuff previously but never with the AAW crimpers which I provided. He said it was so much easier with these crimpers so I sold mine to him. 

It has been a while. Sorry. I've had a small battle with the "Big C" which kicked my butt for many months. I'm finished with Chemo and doing Immunotherapy and things are looking up. Hoping to be more active on a lot of things, this site included. 
About a year ago I splurged on an American AutoWire wiring kit and a Classic Instruments gauge cluster for my '67 Mustang. The plan was to do the installation myself over the winter. Well, life got in the way and it was not getting done and I was tired of looking at the boxes so I found a small local shop that works on Classics and had them do the installation for me. Today I picked up the car. Amazing! The wiring is great and everything works!!! Pretty exciting.
I've tried to upload a photo but being "technologically challenged" I'm not sure if it worked. Looks like a bunch of hieroglyphics to me. I may try again if it was unsuccessful. 
Glad to be back.  Rick Wall 

Yes, the paint thing sounds like a great idea. I'll certainly give that a try.

Santa arrived today with a box of wiring. Now, if he would send his elves to help me ---

OK, I'm about ready to take the plunge and get the AAW wiring kit for my '67. AAW recommends using their crimping tools. Unfortunately, the pair of their tools runs about $200. A friend who is going to help me with this project sez we should be able to find generic crimpers that will do the job. My concern (aside from the price) is that perhaps the connectors used by AAW are unique and require specific crimpers.
Anyone have experience with this? Do I bite the bullet and get AAW crimpers or will something else do the job? Thanks for any input. 

I've been thinking about getting a Champion aluminum radiator for my '67 302 auto air. I read some reviews online that caused me some concern - poor quality, shoddy welding, bad customer service, etc. Understanding that things posted online are "just maybe" inaccurate I thought I would ask the folks without a dog in the fight. Any experience with Champion? Would I be making a mistake? Thanks for any input.

Geez Rudy! You had to go and pose a challenge didn't you? Now you've got me checking for Youtube videos. $400 would buy a lot of Labatts Blue!
