    Autometer gauges

    they are 3 and 3/8 inch. To be honest it was super easy to do this. all i did was ground the existing hole to the right size and removed what ever needed to get the gauges to sit in right. and i still have the printed circuit working the oem stuff.

    700r4 shift point change

    it will make the shift firmer by HOLDING the gear better. how hard it shifts is controlled by the accumulators. if the valve body isn't set up right you'll get mushy shifts were ever the valve body was weak in your case 3-4. if the tv cable isn't right you'll get weak "searching" gears were it...

    700r4 shift point change

    Throttle valve cable controls line pressure. if it was off it would slip every gear. not a weak shift in one. shift feel is controlled by the valve body springs.

    700r4 shift point change

    if you set up the valve body right it will. i built two others exactly like mine and they both go into 4th WOT. 4th isn't a cruising gear its a gear OD is for cruising thats why the engine has to be stable. got 4 gears why not use them? :mrgreen:

    700r4 shift point change

    have you but an update kit in the valve body? and the bigger boost valve? 700r4s are designed not to shift into 4th vary good at WOT until you do some valve body work.

    '86 Elky 305 Hi Temp issue, any ideas?

    do a coolant flush and replace the thermostat. if the old one isn't opening like it should its holding hot coolant in the block. witch would lead to higher temps. Also when the cooling system has a leak it loses pressure. When it loses pressure the boiling point drops. so also check your cap...
