One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

For future reference...when you heat metal to red hot it's always best not to cool it off too fast like you wrote in your post. But it is OK to run cool water, as far from the "red hot" are as possible, this will draw the heat away from the red hot section and cool the whole thing down a lot faster. I'm always temped to run the water all over the whole thing but you'd be surprised hot fast the heat will travel to the cooled area thereby cooling the whole part!! This method will save tons of time and you can get much more done a lot faster.

Same goes for a welded area.
