    727 accumulator with no spring

    It’s not real common. Like seen it twice in 40 years.

    727 accumulator with no spring

    Ever seen a blocker rod go through the section that covers the accumulator bore? I have. A small section of pipe won’t.

    CHEAP people....let's see your stories about those frugal folks that were smart or really annoying!

    I was just mentioning this morning that I wanted a Charger just like that. Something I could beat like it owes me money. General Mayhem style.

    904 Kickdown issue

    Put a small piece of fuel line around the cooler line and it can’t hurt a thing. My daily driver has been this way for 7-8 years.

    904 Kickdown issue

    With the locar stuff you can put a light spring from the lever to your cooler line. I used a small section of 5/16 vacuum line around the cooler line to protect it. The throttle pressure valve does have a spring inside the valve body under the valve, but that only partially returns the lever...

    Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

    I haven’t gotten around to a video, and today it’s raining here. Yep, that’s a shame about the EQ’s. Don’t know why they stopped making them.

    Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

    That’s probably the case. A couple of friends got it all and dropped it off at my house, so it’s possible the discs came off a different vehicle.

    Digital sheet forming

    I have seen a couple of those videos, pretty cool stuff. The pinching methods and machines are pretty killer too.

    Never said or thought that. Just tired of pushin a clutch is all there is to it.

    Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

    My switches are mounted on the back of my intake and didn’t need bleeding. Pressure is pressure either air or fluid.

    4.5 on 5 The carrier is out of the Dakota, not the axles.

    Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

    Yes, stock converter (1800) The 3.55 gears with the low first of the 42RH makes things pretty fun in town, though I did twist a driveshaft in half and had a stronger built. OD with lockup gets me about 2,200 at 80mph. The cam from Oregon Cams was selected and ground for good torque. 214/224@50...

    Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

    I had a third pedal for years and I’m over it. This car was never intended to be a hotrod, though it is fairly capable.

    Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

    OD and lockup both are able to engage only after the trans is in 3rd gear. They both get their apply oil from the active 3rd gear circuit. Thats odd. My switches are adjustable and I have 3.55 gears in the back. To me the rpms of the shifts are more important than the speed, and I like 2,000 -...

    Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

    Lockup drops about 300 rpms. One big thing about using lockup besides it’s obvious no slip connection to the trans is that it eliminates the heat generated by the converter. That 300 rpm slippage creates heat in the fluid.

    Interesting thoughts and observations on OD transmissions

    In my specific situation I have a 42RH Dodge transmission in my Dart, and have had it in there for 6 or so years and it has been flawless. Recently I have an issue where it doesn’t stay in converter lockup consistently. It will drop out and re engage randomly. My setup is fully automatic using...

    disc/drum diagnosis help needed

    What sucks is when you over tighten the adjuster then have to reach in there and push the adjuster arm away from the adjuster wheel and back the wheel off at the same time.:D Done that a bunch.

    AFR Gauges

    Also running the Innovate, and have been running it full time in my daily driver for years with zero problems. I run a dual plane intake, so I get sort of a overall from one sensor.
