    Lean idle. Rich cruise.

    Lean out the primary to bring the cruise into check. You will probably have to open up the PVCR’s once you do this as it will probably be lean at WOT.

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    @RogerRamRod yes that’d be fine. You just need some electrical switch to close so the brake will energize. It doesn’t care if it’s momentary or constant. I know it won’t work in your application, but I use the Holley efi software to turn on the Transbrake when in “neutral” so I can back up...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    Yes the fluid passages use a new billet plate. Where your ~1.5”x2.5” plate that states 22XODLU is is where the Transbrake solenoid would go which. Call cope and ask for the Transbrake plate and solenoid. All that is is a fluid passage and with a solenoid in place your blocking fluid to that...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    I have a cope Transbrake valvebody as well. You actually do have neutral. You get reverse by holding the Transbrake button while in neutral. 4th is operated like previously mentioned with the manual valve. Very simple. The valvebody didn’t “trash” his transmission unless there was something...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    I used 1” rigid conduit cut to length and a piece of 1/2” key stock with a hole drilled in it so I could slip my caliper depth gauge through. Worked fine in my application. You also don’t need the “assembly shaft” either. Use your intermediate shaft and build the OD Section first then pull it...

    Strip Dominator and M1

    Good ole “lean manufacturing” it’s a crock. We do it as well and with no overstock you can put yourself in a very serious bind if a line goes down that has “rush metal” I hate it

    school me on a 5.9 magnum motor.

    Biggest difference is shaft rockers on LA and pedestal style on magnum. Oil through pushrods on magnum and deck/head oiling on LA. Basically every part between the 2 series will interchange. You just have to be mindful of what you’re changing and the steps you need to take to make it work.

    Generic braided fuel line and regulator, worthwhile buy ?

    Myself as well as every turbo ls guy that has 2 nickels to rub together have had good luck with the evil energy ptfe stuff. So far I have had zero issues with it.

    How many using an A500 overdrive ?

    as much as any good built 904. They are a 904 front half and the OD section is the same from an a500 All the way to a 48re add or subtract some clutches/steels depending on the model. You really don’t need to add a bunch of OD clutches as I don’t know too many with cars that are gonna beat on...

    How many using an A500 overdrive ?

    this is interesting that they say they can build them with triple discs. I inquired with John Cope about WOT lockup function when I purchased my valve body from him and he stated that the single disk converter would slip (obviously) but he didn't state that triple disc options were available...

    Like I said I wasn’t trying to argue. We can just agree to disagree on this topic.
