I'm wondering if he's talking one for an automatic transmission

I have a two-post switch. Actually, I have two of said two post switches, and if I understand correctly, one of which is the new style and one of which is the old style. The new style has the "jam nut" style short hex ring, with only the switch prongs exposed through the plastic portion...

No, I mean weld a little dot on the back of the reverse lever arm itself, not the switch ball. Believe me, Brewer's was the first call I made, but they were as baffled by the whole thing as I am.

Wow, I have been away from this website for a long time! I am deep into the process of a meticulous teardown, cleaning, and rebuild of the iron case 833OD that I swapped into my Valiant two summers ago. I just started reassembling the transmission yesterday evening. After installing the entire...

A nice set was delivered to my house a couple days ago. Thanks, barracudakid!

I'm looking for a pair of e-brake levers and spreader struts for a complete new 10" x 2.5" rear drum brake system I am putting together for an 8.75 rear swap, and I can't seem to find anyone that manufactures these. Does anyone have these? I've seen some threads about racers removing them, so...

As long as you have an extra set of rear wheels laying around for replacement after every run he does! :snakeman:

Speed Stick supposedly makes an antiperspirant that eliminates the yellowing of shirts. Otherwise, wear an undershirt so that it [ideally] bears the brunt of the sweat.

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet, Leanna, but...dibs on the first leftover piece!

Did you go 10 x 1.75 or 10 x 2.5 on your drums? Thanks for the quick reply, too.

Okay, I couldn't really find a good singular source of information on this subject, so I decided to start a new thread. I've got an a-body 8.75 rear with big bolt pattern axles, 10" backing plates, and I need to assemble a complete rear brake system before swapping this axle in place of my...
