Maybe but at the heart of it I don't think so. A hot rod and a factory engine have to produce the same power to move a vehicle at 60 mph or whatever. I suspect its because parts don't match and the systems don't do what they need to do under all conditions. The more improvements that were...

I don't thing this applies because there was no puddle but FWIW regarding the A904 in his '66 Barracuda @CPDave wrote: The main issue I've had was with the '66-'67 pump drive snout on the converter cracking (Holy Red Puddel of Death Batman!). Solved that by upgrading to the '68 and up front...

Twice the avg mpg of my jeep this last trip avg 70-75 mph Band only if 1st and reverse don't engage but 2 & 3rd do. Since he said it was delayed on the shift up, that leaves open other possibilities. Up shift releases the low band. Could be something related to pressure - filter, pump, gov...

Have that one. Somewhere. Needs a new home.

Bands can be adjusted with just dropping the pan. But replacement I think will require removing the unit and pulling the pump. But since it wasn't sudden, maybe its an adjustment. Also I'm not clear on whether 2nd and drive are working. It is a full manual VB if I understand correctly. TA...

The kid is making a reasonable guess.

Gov is a possibility too. I'd have to think or rather look up how that interplays. Did have the one in my heep come apart, and was able ot limp home home revving on low gear. Put a hole in the case too.

Seems like low throttle line pressure for the rpm.

727/904 pan and filter isn't that bad to drop if you can get it onto jackstands. With the filter off you can also check the inside band adjustment.

Oddly my '75 valiant slant 6 puked a bunch of ATF one evening. Couldn't find a thing wrong with it. That was weird.

Blocked filter? or maybe pump? Call T/A in the AM. Their MVB, they ought to know what can cause that. I've only used 727s that actuate the throttle pressure lever

How was the show? Vendor's or just cars? Is that a different show than the one with a lot of foriegn cars?

But when there's stuff to get done, sometimes you got to turn the computer off and focus the list. I only turned mine on cause I had to eat lunch inside. Turning it off now.

Some interesting similarities and differences. A 1916 car was not comparible to a 1970 car in terms of highway capabilities, ease of operation, etc. A 1970 car still can do everything a 2024 car can do although a little more effort and skill required. OTH not sure all 2024 cars would survive...

How many uses? For one engine might be worth putting on an engine dyno.

As a kid I thought it was amazing my neighbor remember WW1. Now young adults think its amazing my dad served in WW2. Time marches on.

How much more with the hub caps?

Every car is different but its not that hard to lower the steering column and remove the instrument panel. Then lay the harness out on the bench. Fix whatever is needed. Put it back in reverse. Look for ground connections the FSM may not mention. I found one of those. Actually two. Support...

To do while his attention is elswhere

Keeping it real. I'm from NJ too. North Jersey. We tell it as it is. On the other side of Madison I was going to buy a coffee and some fries at the McD's I stopped at to use the head. I figure its only fair to throw 'em some business for using the restroom. There's no fricken cashier! 5...

Are the tires on it so bad they can't be used for another 1000 miles?

I guess so. What I carry in my pack is a trauma bandage. I also have a 1970s era small military first aid kit - but that's really not what I'd like to turn to unless that's the only choice. At work we have a nice kit with the trauma banadages in it. Mandatory to have on hand when running...

Glad that has been going OK. Lot of help I have been. Not.

I think my neighbor gets something (a powder?) at the local CVS Pharmacy.

Use in wound dressings is newer than I thought too. 1990s https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1016/j.wem.2016.12.005

This guy is pretty decent and I really hate hospitals.

Maybe thats not it. That's for disinfecting. Well thats why I'm not a doctor

Hey. Gives yo somehting to look forward too. reminds me I'm prolly due for an annual. and all the other stuff I ignored or forgot about

here it is. The stuff was called Sulfanilamide https://www.med-dept.com/articles/history-development-of-the-carlisle-bandage/

That sucks. My neighbor is in a similar boat with the thinners. Get some of the coagulant stuff that comes on trauma bandages. I think corn starch works too but since before WW2 there has been some advances on the Carlisle Banadage details.
