Re: Band adjustment?

Sounds like your ready for anything!  Go Figure on the rain!  One last thing
you might want to do is make sure your kickdown linkage is adjusted
correctly.  Have someone floor the car (Not Running) and see if the kickdown
linkage travels all the way as far as it will go to the rear. If it does not
 adjust the threaded rod/rods till it does.  Your car should shift 1>2 at
about 25 and 2>3 at about 35 mph under normal acceleration.

Herb, 
 
Thanks for the details. But I was up early this morning doing it 
Before I saw this email. I have young boys so getting up at 5:30 
Every day is my best way to work on my cars for a couple of hours ;) 
But I think it all made sense and I got it right (I hope). I referred 
Back to old emails from Mr. Dulmage. I drove 15 miles to work this 
Morning and it seemed to be shifting fine. It took 8 quarts and I 
Think I still might need to add a pint. Pan cover was in great shape 
And needed no hammer whacking. 
 
It's good to be driving again. I'd also replaced the fuel line 
(upgraded to 3/8), fuel pump, sending unit, coated the inside of the 
Gas tank, fixed the bulging radiator, replaced radiator hoses, and 
Tightened up the front bearings. 
 
Just in time for a Long Island Mopar Power Club meeting tonight. Of 
Course, they're predicting a chance of Thunderstorms. 
 
Thanks again.
