Sharp car and nice trailer. Hmm your description makes it sound more like a three speed with a lock up converter switch rather than an overdrive. I understand if you have someone else do the build it becomes difficult to keep all that stuff straight.
"But I do know that sitting in second gear doing about 35mph and jumping the gas to a little more than half way down was enough to put the rear end sideways! I haven't done that before with an automatic."
Thats why I was talking to you about the drag radials. What size are those rims?
The transmission is a 3 speed with electric overdrive. It has a non lockup. I know what you are referring to but the transmission in this car was custom built by freddy brown in Long Island New York. Its based off a Ford AOD transmission with a GM housing and custom internals. Definitely not a Lock up switch. The transmission was just custom built because I wanted to keep the lightinig rods functional, but have the performance of a 3 speed manual valve body, but add the convenience of an overdrive. Tust me, I would never put a lock uo in this car! haha Thanks again for the feedback!
