Try one of the 60's models Dodge internet forums and someone there will be able to help you with that.

First make sure you dont have an engine problem, such as a blocked exhaust or fuel filter, if engine performance is good ck your fluid condition fluid should be red, if real dark or burnt, that would indicate an internal transmission problem requiring it to be removed an rebuilt

ck your fluid level and condition, it full try changing fluid and filter, if that doesnt fix the problem, it will be internal and need to be removed and rebuilt

Should be pretty easy to do. Back in those years there wasn't much to the engine.
What part are you having trouble with ? The linkage for the gas pedal ?

Have you tried using a spray carburetor cleaner? Also, is the fuel filter clean?

no you hit it on the head the bands are burnt and possibly seized together
you could try the old remades but it really needs to be rebuilt sorry i couldn't
give you better news but there it is in a nut shell


hope this helps you
good luck

If the Fluid Level is good then there is only bad news left. You could try doing a filter fluid change but I doubt that will work. There are several solenoids inside the transmission. If any one of them goes out the Transmission will not work. If the fluid level is good you will need to have the transmission checked by a specialist and possibly rebuilt. Sorry for the bad news.

Well no metal shavings should be in the filter if there is there is,something is not right internally in your transmission.When there is larger metal shavings in your tranny filter your tranny is probabley gonna have to be rebuilt or replaced.You can try changing the fluid and filter and see if that helps but nore than likely you will need to change out tranny with a new or rebuilt one.

notorious for being very hard to time both carbs ..sim. probs.haunt many multi carb . set ups just ask any one with old triumphs .if carbs have never been rebuilt i think it might be time .if they have it might be time to replace .if replacing try finding ones with a fule management system.
