Re: A-500 and A-518 transmissions with PBs?

["Ollie" <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I  installed a 518 in my 41 Ply street rod removing a SB 727. The trans 
mounts were the same but the drive shaft was shortened. I shift into 
overdrive using a toggle switch to the lock up torque converter. I am 
turning approx 1700 rpm at 70 mph with 3:23 gears.

Subject: A-500 and A-518 transmissions with PBs?

Hi all,

I read this on allpar:
"The A-500 and A-518 truck transmissions were 727s and 904s with an 
overdrive added. A Canadian transmission builder (Doug Miller of Fireball 
Performance Automatics in Williamsburg, Ontario) has successfully converted 
these to shift via cable linkage as was the practice through 1965, thereby 
allowing owners of older MoPars to use this newer transmission and keep 
their pushbuttons."

Anyone know more about this conversion? Is Doug Miller / Fireball 
Performance still in business?

Thanks,
Gary H.
