So the high pitch squeal at the end is small leak from air bag controls. Cleaned up the points, bypassed the fuel tanks to a gas can, changed the oil with mobile 1 full synthetic. Started right up , was pretty thirsty for gas, couple pumps and it fires up.

Just did mine, new master and booster. I think the water runs off the rig and drips on the master cover. Not sure how it gets by the rubber seal. Be sure to check your slave cylinders. You may want to put a vacuum on your booster to check for leaks while you are in there. PS - It is not easy to get to the four nuts on the backside of the booster. Unless you have edited your dash.

Nice. I have a 73 Canyon lands 260. Make sure you: Rebuild the 455 engine, transmission and final drive with new engine cooling system. Rebuild the electrical system with new 100amp Alternator, isolator and what-the-heck a combiner plus two or three new batteries, drop the gas tanks, clean and reinstall with new gas lines, New gas fill-tube rubber. Change the NiChrome wire under the dash. Change the AC/DC charger/convert to modern, new house water pump, Replace fresh water and black water tank, new toilet and add a macerator, Replace all the copper water lines with modern stuff, new cook top range and oh yeah, furnace. Then the steering joint, front knuckles and disc brakes with bushings and ball joints. Now get a new AC unit for the roof and change the cabin AC system for new refrigerant components plus add an additional cooling unit under the dash. Lose the 16.5 wheels and get new 16" wheels and tires (every four years) plus a new spare. New airbags, shocks and rear brakes (hope the pins are okay) Now you are ready for the interior

You are aware that checking the oil on the transmission requires the engine be running in park or neutral not engine off. Also - burnt smell - yeah it likely burnt the 3rd gear clutches - which is also reverse. I just bought a 76 Palm Beach this last fall. appears to have been redone - so Im hopefull I won't have engine/trans issues for a while. I also have fuel inject - dynamic EFi Gm throttle body.

True, I did check the level as you described, it was fine. However, I did go home before I purchased the unit. I am reluctant to throw any shade. I wish you many happy travels with your Palm Beach.

The metal transmission cooling lines provide an electrical ground for the radiator to prevent electrolysis. If you are going to use rubber lines instead of metal, you need to provide a way to electrically bond the radiator to the engine block. While you have your battery wires out, you might want to run the positive wire from the starter directly to the battery + terminal. This will shorten the wire carrying the high current starter power by about 3 ft. Its enough to notice the starter will spin the engine faster. Originally the exhaust manifolds were bolted directly to the heads with no gaskets for maximum heat transfer. If your manifolds and heads are flat with no pitting, you can get a copper gasket from Dave Lenzi that will provide good heat transfer. Remflex gaskets can seal pitted and slightly warped manifolds, but the exhaust manifold will run hotter, so it shortens the manifolds life before cracking. I've had a Remflex on one side for several years and still going strong.

I noted the bracket supporting the transmission dipstick tube was held in place with a hose clamp. Mine was too as the spot welds originally holding the bracket to the tube were broken and tore holes in the dipstick tube. This was causing a transmission fluid leak out the holes, down the tube and onto the pan. You might want to check your tube for holes where the bracket was welded. I brazed the holes in mine and smoothed out the broken welds on the bracket and fastened the bracket to the tube again with a hose clamp.

Thank you for this observation. I haven't gotten to cleaning this part yet. After reading your comment I immediately went and checked the filler tube for holes. I am happy to report that I only have 4 dimples and no holes. I checked with a light and some very small drill bits. Wow, I very likely may have missed that.

Our transmission in our 1977 Eleganza II was rebuilt along with the engine. The transmission went south after about 1000 miles. No power, fluid was black. Found someone else to rebuild the transmission, however no one wanted to remove and replace. Had to find an RV repair person to help us remove it. We removed it with out removing the engine, just lifting it slightly to make room. Took a couple of hours. So far very pleased, with the rebuild. The transmission rebuilder also test drove our GMC to make sure everything worked properly.
