    issues after swapping valve body and shifter, 727

    well it looks like the throttle valve lever (kickdown arm) didnt really change that much throughout the life of the 727, I pulled one off of a mid 90's Ram van, I had to make a minor modification to it. they changed the way the kickdown cable attaches to the arm. The newer models have a ball on...

    Shifter cable replacement*pics of damage* new problem?

    I dont have a pic of the original install. The person I bought it from had a motor built by Koffel but didnt take the time to insulate the trans cable or some of the spark plug wires. He used some Hooker competition headers and the rear drivers side spark plug wires are touching the header, so...
