    RPM WAY too high at 40MPH

    The tach seems to be working fine. It does have different cylinder settings, so I can try that first I think. It's a cheap tach, but seems to be pretty responsive.

    RPM WAY too high at 40MPH

    Not sure what's going on. My car was an original slant six car, and I got it all-original. Needless to say, the slant is gone, but the 7.25 remains. I believe it's a 2.76-geared rear end. So if that's true, why the heck am I doing 3500RPM at 40MPH?! Note that my foot is barely on the...

    5.9L Magnum Flexplate?

    I'm looking at a flexplate for the 5.9L Magnum that I'm building. Basically the only Magnum parts on it are the crank, rods, lifters, heads, and dampner. The rest are LA parts. So I'm looking into purchasing a flexplate. I have no idea which transmission I'm going to run, but it will be...

    Auto floor shifter trans bracket measurements

    Can I get the measurements of the bracket that attaches to the transmission tailshaft housing ears? The one that holds the vertical shift lever in place. Thanks!

    Made my own floor shifter bracket today!

    Since I'm replacing my column shifter with a floor shifter, but also retaining my bench seat, I decided to fab my own shifter bracket. I didn't really want to wait to find one, and I figured it wouldn't be that hard to make. The real kicker is that it was generally done with hand tools...

    can I get some console shifter measurements?

    Thanks vey much! I actually built one today from cardboard as a mockup, and my measurements were close if not dead on to these, just from eyeballing aesthetic and function.

    Auto trans tailshaft housing?

    thanks. I know that's column shift - I am in the process of converting column to console, though I wont be using a console, just the stock shifter/linkage/shifter bracket assemblies. I checked this evening, the ears are there on the tailshaft. I also bought flat stock (.125 I think) to make...

    can I get some console shifter measurements?

    I am not running the console, so I won't need the bracket measurements, but I still have to build the shifter mounting bracket evidently. Can anyone take measurements of the shifter bracket itself (length/width/depth), and also a measurement of the front of the bracket to the firewall? Thanks...

    Auto trans tailshaft housing?

    column-shift /6 71 Demon to be brutally specific. As for the part, it's the vertical piece that takes movement from the arm attached to the console shifter arm and transfers it to the arm attached to the gear lever on the trans. Part #2 in this picture is the 'z-bar' I'm talking about, the...

    Auto trans tailshaft housing?

    Anyone have pictures of the tailshaft housing of either a 904 or 727 where the z-bar (or whatever it's called on an auto) is retained at the transmission? I am looking to see if I'll need a full housing or just the bracket, or in the worst case scenario, if I'll need to make my own bracket...

    b-body shifter?

    after looking at my factory service manual, it seems that the only things that are different with the B-body and A-body console shifters were the linkage and possibly the height of the mounting brackets. Is it safe to say that with the correct A-body linkage, I could use a B-body console...

    column to floor shift comprehensive understanding thread:

    I just wanted to clarify everything in one thread: '71 Demon 904/column auto I want to use a stock auto floor shift without console and with my bench seat. I don't need the correct shift knob or anything, and I would simply use one of the aftermarket smaller consoles that Year One sells or...
