automatic overdrive
Dude it would have taking me a week to type out all that.
Did you use it behind a 727? I was wanting one for an A body 833 but don't see where they have one for that. Just for B/E body ones.
No;
I swapped out the short mainshaft, for the longer one, installed the long adapter, and fabbed up a new shifter-mount.
Because I have buckets and always hated the factory shifter location, I took the opportunity to move my shifter back, towards my leg, and raised it high enough to put the top shifter mounting-bolt in from the cab. Then fabbed up new shift-rods, cutting off and reusing the old ends.
At the first I used the Mopar A833od box cuz the ratios split nice, but I found that my lil 367 didn't like the factory splits (.54/.60/.73) at all, and splitting all the time got to be a drag. So eventually, I got a Commando A833 box, and splitting became optional. That was a good decision, as I now have many ways to use this combo.
A) when driving normally, it is a 4-speed with overdrive. The ratios are
3.09-1.92-1.40-1.00-.78od and splits of .62-.73-.72-.78.. But if heading out on the hiway, I often shift 3.09-1.92-1.40-1.09-.78od with splits of 62-73-78-.716
B) showing off I split first and second then dump it into od. the ratios are;
3.09-2.41-1.92-1.50-.78od and splits; .78-.80-.78-.52od
C) in the Eighth-Mile I might split only the 1-2 for ratios of
3.09-2.41-1.92-1.40 and 93=5750 rpm with 3.55s.
D) in the Quarter, IDK, I haven't run it , but to go 115, with 3.55s; I would split the 1-2 only if it hooks, Otherwise I might split only 3-4, for ratios of 3.09-1.92-1.40-1.09, and hit 115=5550 on a power-peak centered around 5300.
E) the starter gear is 3.09 x 3.55=
10.97,
which is same as ....10.97/2.66=
4.22 with a standard A833
F) after I settled on this combo, I sold all my other gearsets except 4.88s ,lol.
G) with a manual trans, your low-rpm tune needs to be real sharp if you want to parade. I tuned mine to run at 550 in gear pulling itself at 4.0 mph, 500rpm/ riding the brake gets me 3.7mph. A previous cam,the 292Purple cam(249*@.050) wasn't real happy down there so I yanked it out, and currently run a Hughes HE3037AL which is 230*@.050 This cam has been in there now since 2004
