62 Chevy II AF/X

[squirrel]

The outer sprag race is a little wider, to accommodate the 4 plate clutch, and the drum is machined differently to accept the wider race.

[STINEY]

How does the 4l80e drum differ? Or is it an availability thing?

[squirrel]

I fixed the transmission a week ago, new second gear clutches, sprag, and a 4L80E direct drum. Seems to work ok.

Also a momentous night...finally took my wife for a ride in the car.

oh...back on topic...I dropped my old switch pitch torque converter off at my son's house a week ago, he finally brought it to Hughes today, they said it's kind of toast inside. but they have the parts to fix it, so they'll do that. I should have it back in a couple weeks, then I can pull the transmission and see what's wrong with second gear.

I'm thinking of building something that won't have a chance of winning. But it would be a lot of fun.

But you're neglecting Camaro, Nova, Chevelle, Duster, Mustang, Firebird, Corvette, etc.

There are a whole bunch of neat cars to build.

But your used to winning . No point in carrying all the extra weight .

[squirrel]

No, but I'd help him do it, if he wants to.

Vacuum tube Megasquirt? Vacuum Tube ignition system? Maybe a turntable in the console?

You can dream...but probably won't be reality. Might be even stranger than that.
