Pat Blais is an Awesome Guy
Hi all. I don't have an A-Body but run a 383/727 in my 53 Dodge so I lurk around here for good drivetrain info. I pulled the drivetrain out of another 60's truck build someone else did and ever since I installed it, my 727 has had extremely harsh shifts. I finally got around to it last month. After diving in I found it had a TF-2 kit. I started looking for a stock valve body on here to just swap it and had a ton of you guys responded quickly :) By chance I had also contacted an ebay ad for a VB which happened to be Pat Blais. He took a bunch of his time to educate me on the the way these work and together we ended up just fixing what I have. He even sent me some free parts to use. Just wanted to give him a big shout out for being such a kind and generous human being. He's retired now, but you can tell he genuinely loves his work and loves to educate people. Cheers Pat!
