Well, this 5 year project is finally coming to a close. I have driven the car 30-35 miles now. I will continue to rack up some local mileage on it before my 500 mile round trip to Norwalk in a couple weeks. I finally have the transmission where I am happy with it. I received the new detent switch and installed it. Instantly it transformed the trans to shifting properly in all situations. I failed to realize that detent pressure combines with both modulator and governor pressure once activated and really changes the timing and feel of the shifts. Learned something new. Look forward to seeing some people that have followed this thread for years at Norwalk. I am not a show car guy, so not planning to put it in the car show. I will have it parked in or near the Arnie Beswick display area on the "car show" side of the track. Arnie Beswick is generally set up near the grandstands at the starting line end of the track. Arnie likes to use my cars as a backdrop for pictures with his many fans. Here are a few pics in running condition.
