It'll be a bit, I'm going to try ditching the factory proportioning valve. Hooking the front lines straight through, then using a universal adjustable prop valve for the rear line. Dunno if it'll work or not, but the valve was only $40 and I had to redo the lines anyway.



Hopefully I can get it together this week sometime, but the weekend is much more likely.

They're directly above the steering column, pedals and wires all over the place around them. :(

Seriously though, after building my own twin turbo kit and fabbing a blower up, it really never hit me to try a ratchet. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. :grin:

Apparently I kept every single piece besides the TV cable and one section of shift linkage. I can bend up another linkage rod, but I'm not sure what to do about the cable yet. I ditched the setup it used to mount to.

I might still have one or two hydro boost units left over from SOP, they are GM units.

It's not permanent, Pete. Just to throw down a couple times to shut some buddies up.

IF it makes it a little easier to mess with people on the street, it may stick around some, but I never drive anything with an auto too long. I hate them.




Cmann, that's the factory flex plate AFAIK. Dad never had the trans out when he had it and I only had it out for the TC and to swap to a 'rag.

Hmmm... All the factory flex plates I've had had were like this:

I'll look in the shed Levi because I may have a kickdown cable.

If Andy doesn't have one, I have one that you may be able to rig. It has the slot cut off of it.

I'm looking into that actually, I may just put it on a pull cable in the cab or something. Leave it at 1/2 travel while I'm driving around and yank it to full bore for racing. I'll have to look into how they work. I saw a thread here somewhere.
