I rebuilded the transmission, 1st to 2nd is too early at D, others are good. Checked everything multiple times, its a real mystery. I'm thinking that I'm just going to drive the car for a while now, see how it performs.

you probably have the red governor, try the green one and that should help.

The transmission works great now. I had the wrong spring on the MTV UP valve. That caused all of the problems on the transmission.

Hah! Summer hasn't actually started yet! Rains almost every day 😀

Changed the rear control arms, made a huge difference! Rearend acts way better than it used to.

Tomorrow going to change rear end oils and we try to fit new yoke to rearend. Old one leaks, so we try to get that sorted out with a "new" yoke.

Brother got his Capri on the road, so we went and took some photos 🙂

Nice pair of cars. For posterity, can you take that picture again with maybe a nice lake but no power pole in the background...

Haha, maybe the background isn't ideal 😀

The stance and NASCAR wheels / tires sure look right on your Olds. 😎
