I found the filter wasn't actually plugged with loose material, it looks like I broke a single plate some time ago when I locked up the rear tires with manual 1st engaged a year-ish prior. The little chunks got partly pulled up the pickup tube. I think I will be fine for one more summer of chuggin'. I'm only running a stock Magnum 318 with a carb conversion so I'm not asking much of the trans right now.

I will come back crying if you all are right

Given I need to rebuild soon either way, what components are reasonable to upgrade in a '67 TF that only sees street use? A lot of kits I've looked up say they are only intended for '71 and up, which I understand are when they added a lot of Hemi-grade improvements to the whole line or something to that effect. Should I just get an entirely newer 727 or 904 instead?
