Cone type Sure Grip

I have a cone type Sure Grip (3.23 ratio) apart to look it over before installing into my ’66 Fury III. All parts look good and the cones have not bottomed out in the case. I measured the clearance (with hard wax) between cone face and bottom of the case and have right about 0.040″ thousandths of an inch clearance. I have read every thread I can find on refurbishing this unit and come up with some different facts that have been posted.

My cones look like this:

A&A 3rd to 2nd Kickdown Module for 727 – $80

I have this brand new never installed from my 727 rebuild. I ended up buying a later trans from a motor home for parts and the later valve body has this built in. This is for the earlier 727, 1966 thru 1969 and is a nice upgrade. It’s an easy install the involves removing the valve body, removing a plate on the side and installing this device.

I paid $95 plus shipping. Selling for $80 including shipping.

Thanks for looking!

Gas Cap Needed

I’d like to replace the gas cap on my 1966 Fury III Wagon. It sits kind of funny and doesn’t make a good seal. I have looked but don’t find anything online. Any ideas on where to get one??

Working away on some Fury III projects

The ‘66 Fury III has spent some time in the shop of late and I figure I owe an update. It started with getting the car on the lift for the first time. 3weeks ago was the 1st time, really! It was overheating at the end of last year, so it sat for the…

727 Output Shaft compatibility

Hello transmission experts. I have a 1966 Fury 3 (318 Poly) wagon with a blowed up 727 trans. I can rebuild the current ’66 727 but it has very limited options available for this year/model, particularly the torque converter. I plan an engine swap later this year so want to upgrade the trans now and use it for the summer.

I have picked up a 78 727 from a motor home with low miles BUT it has the E-Brake on the tail-shaft. The question, is will my current ’66 727 output shaft work with the…

Most of the rust you see is “feautina”. The PO used a jitterbug sander to wear the paint away. I don’t really like it and will work to fix it in the spring. The engine is a 318 2bbl and he runs very well. The wheels are rusted and will be replaced over the winter, as well as the suspension rebuilt,…
