My search for a shorty D100 is over

-
what? not gonna have a sip of the forbidden strawberry fanta? it's refreshing!
Definitely not on purpose. I did get a drip in my eye yesterday when I thought the cooler line was finished dripping and was wrong. Got me right in corner of my left eye. That was a weird feeling.
 
Dropped the hurt 46re off this morning with my trans builder. He said he’ll have it apart today and have some answers for me tomorrow.
 
Ok quick update for y’all. Took a bit longer than I (we) thought to get the trans back but ultimately the converter, or more specifically the lock up clutch in the converter was the problem. Had to have another custom converter made. Same specs as the old one, lock up, tight 2800 stall. The clutch “turned to dust”, his words not mine, and went through the whole trans. So a complete rebuild of all the soft parts, a gasket and seal kit, both solenoids, and a new converter. The trans is on my garage floor waiting reinstall and that’ll likely happen this weekend.
 
Thats why the shop truck is staying with a slant and 3 spd......so I don't have to walk
My slant powered truck still has its original 727 in it, the slant is staying but since my 727 has to come out to fix a leak, (think it might be the low reverse band O rings) I'll split the difference with ya and put this A 500 I have back in.... I do have the hard to find 1960s /6 to small block trans adapter on hand ... Came from a 64 D100.

Was that an age thing that caused the lockup clutch to grenade?

That'll be a nice swap!
 
Wasn't it custom build you never used ?
Maybe it didn't have enough pressure and smoked
What do you use to know when to lock up
