Default Just Bought Munice 4 Speed Book.

Noticed this book on Muncie 4speeds by Paul Cangialosi. He goes into detail about rebuilding and modifying the 4spd.He notes problems that some experience not shifting properly, falling out of gear,there is more. About 22 bucks. I had bought his book on factory 4spds before. Thought it might be worth a look.

I ask because I need one to hold my hand while I build a muncie - and this was the one I had decided to get.

I have his first book. He has a lot of good videos on YouTube also. His parts are also much higher quality than what you will find elsewhere.I just finished my M22 using his parts,now I have to convince myself to lay on my back and benchpress it back into the car.
