Shift Kit

Alright that's definite, I had the wrong spring in the 1-2 shift valve, I had the correct one in the torque converter valve though. Mine are measuring a little bit different then yours,
1-2 shift valve is .93 and the torque converter is off by .10 at .36 and at 1.25 long for the old style.

My valve bodies are from 727's, which are very similar, but maybe Mopar changed the springs slightly.

Far right is the 1-2 shift valve, middle one is the old style torque converter spring and the far left is the new style. I should use the old style correct?
Again thanks for taking that apart for me!

Depends on what style converter valve is in the valve body. Here's a pic showing the 3 different converter valves. The upper one is the old style and it takes a shorter spring. Two of my valve bodies were that style and one I had from a 77 trans. was like the middle valve. If yours is like the upper one use the shorter spring that's approx. 1.2" long. If it's either the middle or bottom style it needs a spring that's approx. 1.5" long.

No problem. I was planning on doing it anyway.
