This is a great break down. Much thanks. I am intending to try the big exhaust manifold off a 5.9 Jeep pretty soon.
I still need to swap K frames. Whoever owned the car before me cut out the spool mounts and welded in old school biscuit mounts. UGH, and I don't want to mess with the...
The linkage being messed up is the only thing that makes sense here. What I would do is get it up in the air on jack stands and disconnect the tranny linkage at the tranny. Then I would try going into reverse by just moving the shift lever at the tranny and see if it works correctly. Try all...
A while back I picked up an 80 Aspen 225 /6 car. The price was right to add to the backyard junkyard. Car was a survivor and was in pretty good shape in this case. It ran and drove and I followed my brother as he drove it to my place. He said it ran pretty good but the timing was messed up or...

Depending on what you want to learn there are a lot of us on here that can help you figure it out. That being said, first thing I always do on these cars (this is just me) is get an MSD 6a and better coil (Blaster 2 is fine, I have taken to using the ecoil from Pertronix) and loose the ballast...
I have seen a bunch of suggestion on this thread. But I have not seen anyone suggest adjusting the linkage at the tranny. With throttle at WOT the kick down lever should be all the way back. This is should be adjustable without having to redesign the whole system. If want me to I can try to...
