Well, I got my PG buttoned up last night,gettin' ready for Bowling Green. Then miss- fortune showed up(Damn her!!) The tiny E clip on the governer decides to let loose,the gov. weight slings off, destroys itself, and knocks a 3" hole in my tailshaft to boot!! Does anyone in the house have a spare gov, assembely,and tailshaft for an alum. powerglide?? Close to Nashville,but I can drive,or will pay for overnite shipping. Please help me! I WILL be at HRR!!!Thank you. Sparky
BTTT for ya Sparky... hope ya find what ya need if i had it it'd be in a box an on a fedex truck in the mornin to ya,,, worry about the details later and getcha back on the pavement
j43 i've got a complete aluminum pg you can have if you can get it from here (columbia, missouri; on I-70 half way between kansas city and saint louis) to there. came out of my son-in-law's '72 nova a few months ago. it was behind a 6 cylinder engine; probably the original engine/tranny from '72. he pulled it to put in a crate 350 and 5-sp manual. the car was running (it was his daily driver) when he pulled it. anyone able to do a hamb relay REAL SOON? if you're interested call me on my cell 573-864-4007. i'm about to walk out the door and won't be home 'til tonight.
Thats awfull nice of you Mike! I wonder If anyone out your way is comming to Bowling Green?? Thank you!! On a addendum to this story,I followed the trail of tranny fluid this morning,and FOUND the small gov. valve,and two pieces of the trans case,beetween my 500' GRAVEL driveway,and about 1/4 mile of road!!! The gov. pin is still bent 180 deg. I May be able to straighten it. Then JB weld the pieces to the tailshaft,and Still make the HRR!! If anyone can get that trans to HRR,I WILL supply a weekend's worth of cold brew!! Thanks again Mike!! VIVA LA HAMB!! Sparkles
BTT I'll ask Greazy Mark, I think I had seen a PG over in his shop. He's in Maryville. I was in Nashville yesterday, damn!
Hamb relay??? From Atche's to bowlin' Green?? I temporarily fixed mine, but would like parts to fix it'right' thanks. sparky
