    after market columns

    i used a flaming river column and welded tabs on to use the factory mounting bracket. i however do not like the column due to the terrible design of the ignition switch. i have never been able to start my car with the key. i installed a starter button for the time being. i will have to look at...

    727 issue i think?

    well i re adjusted it and it worked great with the ratchet shifter. but i could also get it stuck between gears and don't want to take the chance of ruining my trans. installed the Cheetah SCS shifter this weekend and it works perfect every time now.

    727 issue i think?

    I have found that with the ratchet action if you don't set it back into fist and then pre load the shifter to shift to second it will actually not make the full shift. That is when this occurs. Down fall of a ratchet shifter I just found out.

    727 issue i think?

    Also took it on a a nice 45 minute ride with no problems in and out of all the gears multiple times and ran perfect. All was great except the fuel gauge hahaha

    727 issue i think?

    I'm running a B&M pro ratchet. The shifter doesn't have any adjustment it's all in the cable. But if it isn't in a preload ratchet position it could be in between gears that's a very good possibility.

    727 issue i think?

    Ok so I had my exhaust done today and trailered it to the shop. Drove it home and didn't have one issue. I didn't change anything?? The only change was going from open header to 3 inch all the way out the back. Went into second and no dragging or holding back at all? What the heck is going on?

    727 issue i think?

    I will give this a shot Friday once the exhaust goes on. Probably going to be dropping the pan to change fluid and filter anyway I will check the torque on the valve body while I'm in there. Anything else to be on the lookout for other than obvious signs of metal or clutch material? I will...

    727 issue i think?

    This is what I was afraid was going to be the issue. I purchased the valve body and converter and bolt in sprag then took the trans a very well know trans builder in my area he took care of the assembly knowing what the car was going to be used for. It was built probably 10 years ago and...

    727 issue i think?

    i believe its narrowed down to the trans. brakes are new. never drags or feels like I'm being held back in first or third, and as soon as i shift into third from second when its doing this it frees right up and rolls effortlessly. i can let off the gas pedal and actually feel the car being...

    727 issue i think?

    brakes are new front and rear. just actually installed the front with a disc conversion. this only happens in second gear. free rolls fine in first and third with no issue.

    727 issue i think?

    see the sticky at the top of the trans sub forum that says 727 exploded or something similar. most trans catastrophic failures are from catching traction in first and rolling the sprag.

    727 issue i think?

    bad for the sprag. if you have the power to start them in second you should. if not start them in first but shift to second and try to finish out in third.

    727 issue i think?

    no i start all burnouts in second and shift to third to finish. has a bolt in sprag already though.

    727 issue i think?

    with the manual valve body there are no adjustments on the carb linkage for throttle pressure. i have checked and rechecked my shifter linkage for going in and out of gear and all seems right. went as far as to replace the shifter cable as well. it shifts into second and pulls hard with no...

    Has any one ran a Alternator with a internal voltage regulator?

    I have them on 2 of my cars they work great. Sounds to me like you need to check the factory connection at the back of your gauge. I know on my duster before switching to all auto meter gauges the factory voltage gauge has two connections that if they come loose will make the charging system...

    engine mounts

    I did this with no issues on my Duster. I needed about the same amount 1/4 inch for header clearance for the power steering box. and couldn't bring myself to modify the TTI headers like i did the hooker set i ran before.
