  1. My 469 cu TH400 trans has always shifted very quickly. Just crossing the street it was in 3rd gear. 

    I figured it was because the original rear end was long gone when i bought the car and a 3:55 posi was installed.

    The original gear was a 2:78 iirc

    So today i spent the day pulling the Governor and modifying the inner weights by removeing some metal alittle at a time 

    removing cutting some metal off reinstalling checking pulling it again and again...

    after removing 2 grams of metal equally off each weight i was finally where i want to be!!

    WOT didnt change alot but it shifts alot better around town etc..Very Happy!

    Then i found this article...Thanks Mr Paine!

    I ended up with roughly B in the article below.

    2nd to 3 is right at 5k rpms

  2. So Onondaga was a bust wont go into that nightmare. However i did get a quickjack lift system delivered sat. so after a couple hours the Lemans Got a small lift job. So far so good. it feels safe and i get alot of room to do stuff as needed. was tired of jacking and cribbing all four corners to get it high enough to work on then undoing what took all day to do...time will tell.

    Wrong family member!

    Justa so you know - I've met Heywood. He is justa insane in person as he is on Bob and Tom! And he lives in Michigan (which makes him twice as insane I suppose).

    I did a service call for him last friday! he is awesome! super nice guy. shot the breeze for an hour and a half. He has an old jaguar hes restoring. justa funny in person as he is on the radio.
