Re: [FWDLK] Transmission Question

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep; that's what I've got in my car; replaced the OEM air-cooled
guy with a liquid (water/anti-freeze) cooled T/F, and with an
air-cooled P/F torque converter (it has the cooling-ears on its
cover).

The trannie's been upgraded for higher shift points, which
comes in handy, along with his worked distributor (6 Initial, 27
Mechanical, and 16 Vacuum = 49 degrees total), and with his 2.76:1
rear-gear ratio (max MPG).

I even get anywhere from a chirp to another set of tire marks into second... (.040 over FLP8 w nielson cam, extrude honed and port matched dual quad intake, minor head porting and valve mods)
