Tranny help!!!!!!!

I have a 61 sedan and need to know what type of Tranny fluid to use in it. Also does anyone know where I can get a new tranny filter? I've heard the only thing to do with a filter is clean your old one......how is this done?

a pic with 20 inch wheels

I was going to put 245/45/18's on my 61 sedan. I thought I would have problems with rubbing so my question to you members with 20's, do you have any problems with the fit? Did you have to do any modifications?

3 questions

1) My power locks aren't working, anyone know what the cause might be?

2)My cigarette lighters aren't working either, any troubleshooting tips?

3)Does the 1961 manual (sold at bakers)include the wiring and vacum diagram?

Hoses and belts

Can anyone give me the specs on all of the hoses and belts for a 61 sedan? I could order them from Bakers but I'm sure my local parts store sells them for much cheaper.
