Re: Oil Filter Canister

Was the leak down the side of the cannister,or out the bolt hole? There is supposed to be A spring at the end of the filter/bolt at the cannister,the bolt will be tight through the seal,just turn the bolt like threading A nut till the threads are through.I think the old cannister may have stuck stil...

Re: Transmission

Lee; There is no hose to the tranny,the kick down is at the pedal/carb linkage,is it hooked up, and adjusted properly? If you are new to the car get A 1958 shop manual and the 1959 suplement manual,it has alot of info in it.As far as going into 3rd I dont know what to tell you,check the clutch bands...
