Re: [FWDLK] Push Button Valvebody Torqueflite Pricing

[John Bartell <jrbartell@xxxxxxx>]

Dave, and others who emailed me...I should have waited and double checked my
info...but as I recall the guy who overhauled my 65 727 said I would not
need to change anything as far as the cable being used on my "59"
Plymouth....  I believe he said any of the older cast iron cables will
work....by this I thought he meant all.  I will have to check with him on
the pre 59 cast iron torqueflites/powerflites...he also told me if all else
fails just interchange valve bodies, but he did not believe it would make a
difference....   Sorry if my info was not complete or correct...now I am
wondering if I got the correct scoop on the conversion....John in WI
