Sure glad I got the heater fixed
Probably original throttle cable gave out on Junior. 68-70 big block cable fit perfect and I had one. Good to go.
Ready to research a higher stall converter next, big cam doesn't like 1900 stall very much .

Replaced the cheap ignition box with a new Chrome Mopar box, Amazing how well he runs now.

JR Still running perfectly, having a hard time logging here, cookies wtf is cookies? i really just want to come on here and chat like before.
Nice, one of these days I'm going to take a trip up that way to Wendell, ID. and visit that large salvage yard, L&L I believe which they specialize in classic cars.
The local classic car salvage here in Ogden, (B&R Salvage) is only open a few hours on Wed. and Sat. because of his "covid" schedule...

I've got an older 727 lock up, and TC, my Duster has 4:10s. I'd love to do that Mod! So, there is no cutting of the tunnel, just the Lil frame hump?

Should be no cutting on the floor hump. I did end up dimpling mine though. I fit a 42RH during my floor replacement. Used a chevy truck trans mount. Heres how I did mine. I used a lot of ideas from junior 340 I moved the inboard bolt holes out, and left the outboard bolt holes intact.
Andy/ Chris, whichever one of you keeps these updates going, Chris I think, I like the occasional check-ins on the cars life, lets us know Jr's still enjoying the highways.
I've been working on a project for a number of years & added O/D during the process. I'm looking forward to the 835 mile drive back home to Clearwater Fl. probably late next spring.

I still have one of those hoods, off of a '69 Swinger 340 that I had as a parts car, back in......1975! Safely stored in Santa Maria!

Sweet! If I can get my health back enough to get my **** together, I wouldn't mind having that transmission gone through, and the converter too with the 410 gears in my car I'm thinking I could benefit from a couple hundred RPM drop in 4th
You will love it

Thank You Brother! That transmission's been sitting out my yard for a year at my other place. I'm hoping it ain't shot.

The torsion bar crossmember you have to cut and strap to get the O/D unit to clear however. I trimmed mine and left the flanges for the floor then bent steel and strapped the area I cut out. You can see this in the pic. Much easier to engineer this and weld it in when the floor is out of the car.
17.8 mpg last time I checked.
Decent for a healthy 340 under the hood I think. 65 miles to work back everyday that helps allot.
