Roadmaster75 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Dynaflow was standard issue; unless someone ordered it with a Flight-Pitch Dynaflow. (Doubtful) Thats a wholly different animal and will require a large Flight-Pitch supplemental manual in addition to your standard shop manual. Dynaflows are unique to Buick with exception for a brief flirtation from Cadillac and Oldsmobile when the HydraMatic plant burned down in 53 or 54.....I believe. Also, Chevy/GMC used them in special chassis applications in 50s. all this from the deep recesses of my fading memory .......😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Your memory sounds fine! What's the issue with the Invicta, Jerry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrybev Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 hi the car has not been running in atleast 12 years. It belongs to my friend. He has put a new starter on it this week and soon hopes to crank it and test drive it. He is concerned about the transmission but There may be no problem with the transmission. He wants to get it drivable, clean it up and sell it. It is a light blue 4 door hardtop. Car is in Eden, North Carolina. thank you for your help.

avgwarhawk Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Well, you came to the right place for advise and possible sale! There is one way to see if the Dynaflow is working. Start it, let warm to operating temp and check the dipstick. If she is at the full mark put it in D and see what she does! Post some pictures of the Invicta if you can.

60FlatTop Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 You might have to put it in LOW to get underway. It takes a while to get the juices to the torque converter when they have been sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
