4 speed ka-booom !

I hear ya, and I appreciate your kind words. I'm just having so much fun with the 4 speed. Fun is much more important than winning or fixing with this car. It's only got to make it two more seasons with only six official races per season. Then it will be my son's problem - lol (he dislikes automatic's more than me)
I'll build a mild 360 - 904 - 8 3/4 in two years for my wife's 66 barracuda and that can be a nice dependable bracket car. As for now I have to send for a manual and crack this transmission open and see what the problem is?
