    Well burned up the tranny in the Belvedere, That is why I didn't show. After that I did not feel like talking cars. Looks like the vette for a while

    Was a Mopar adapter that Holley sells for Mopar kick down. What I am hearing from a couple tranny shops is there is a pressure by pass, they think that might be the problem or the pump went out. The fluid is still red and it didn't go out slowly ( slipping ) it just quit moving forward and backward. Now does anybody have any good feedback on automatic transmission experts on 7th ave, I have heard good and would like to know more. Is the U bracket the one you are talking about Chip.

    I don't know what the problem could be, but we use Denny's down on south Central for our slush-box needs. Everything from my truck, Dave's new Dodge, and even the Super Stock car. John Craft had an AOD I sold him done over there too.

    A mans hand I'd definitely be proud to shake. Now I've got the theme song stuck in my head.

    Nah, I'm fine. Remember when Judy's Honda got nailed by a drunk in April? Ya, well the same thing only no diplomatic immunity... still hit and run and destroyed though. Fortunately, I'm a pretty good gumshoe and found the humble remains of the P.T. cruiser that hit it exactly where I thought I would... The underground parking at the Regency House!

    As you guys get to know me better you'll realize two things about me. First, I have the worst possible luck in the world, and I'll probably be killed someday by a grand piano falling from the sky. Second, P.T. Cruisers hate me too! It must have been the frequent thrashing they received as rental cars from me back in the corporate days...
