    Gearshift Control Cable Installation 904

    yes - best and fastest way...also to adjust your cable… is to remove the pan. Adjustment is also a lot easier without the pan, as you can see the rooster comb and how it interacts with the neutral switch you can also find helpful hints here Mopar Push-button transmission tech tips

    Short update. .. looks like i'm going with a Custom-Made Whiplash cam from HughesEngines as i'm the very first one ( as Dave from Hughes wrote me) asking for a whiplash to put in a 273. They 've never made one before and would like to do a Custom Grind for me.

    How many of you out there running manual steering?

    switched to manual about 10 years ago - way better on an early A-body ... especially when driving on a bad road (lane grooves etc) with more than 96 mph

    again 273 wanna hear your opinions ...

    Yepp, it causes headache ... but i think i got thepoint behind it... Unfortunately it's very complex to do those calculations and AJ/FormS deserves my greatest respect. Thanks foor showing me that the 340 cam wouldn't fit. Maybe i will simply take the 318 stock cam but it would also be...

    again 273 wanna hear your opinions ...

    normally - they don´t have a look, but sometimes they do... the problem then will be (or in case of an accident) i get serious issues because the German TÜV will hand over a note to the German IRS and they will get me hooked for tax fraud and also the insurance company will try to get hands on...

    they are "custom made" by a friend of mine which is running a Hot Rod-shop here in Germany. unfort. i´ve never made a detailed pic of them ... but this pic from a race 2 years ago will give you an idea about the length :)

    again 273 wanna hear your opinions ...

    That's a great explanation AJ/FormS. Thanks. I do also have 2 other stick stored, if I remember right one was pulled out of a 318 and the other was an older aftermarket cam which was sold by PAW, must be SuperStockIndustries-11309 ssi 11309 (lob 112, duration @050 lift 204-214, adv dur...

    again 273 wanna hear your opinions ...

    dont know if you all got me right (maybe my German-English leads to the wrong conclussions) - the head job was allready done some years ago ... and these 318 heads are the heads i will use just because it´s the only set that i have laying around (and i´m not willing to purchase another set -...

    again 273 wanna hear your opinions ...

    one of the reasons is also the legal aspect here in Germany - the Barracuda is registered as an "historical vehicle" which gives special permissions like driving in restricted areas (emission control, pollution etc) and also we will have a significant advantage when it comes to taxes - 192 EUR...
