After about 200 miles of dirving on my new TKX, I'm pretty happy with the results. I've yet to "lean" on it though. Break in reccomendations say to put 500 mules on the trans and 1200 - 1500 cycles on the clutch / pressure plate combo. The one thing I have noticed is that I can feel what seems...

Mopar Performance vs Hayden 2947 (on the right)

Different cars will have different shifter locations. What car do you have? In regards to the neutral switch, you are correct that the forward mount does not have one, but that's easy to overcome. I just mounted a brake light switch to the clutch pedal. If you have an early B body, the rear...

Nice project you have. See the following link - https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/can-of-rusty-worms.104526/ - there are posts on what you are doing.

Refer to pic - looks like front mount. SST shipped this to me with shifter in this location after I told them the intended use / vehicle install.

Do some research on driveshaft critical speed. You will find some interesting reading.

Borgeson is NOT complex at all. I installed a complete kit from Bergman, which includes his custom coulper (no cut), and it fit like a glove. Installed in a 64 Dodge, 426W, Dougs headers, mini starter. You're gunna like it!

It's my understanding that if a car is not sold on BAT, they will forward interested parties contact info to the owner - a call to BAT should confirm or not.

Ok, in regards to wet weather traction. I do understand that sticky tires and water don't mix, I guess what I'm NOT looking for are tires that have bare minimum tread - almost like slicks.

I currently have Mickey Thompson 275 / 60 / 15 Sportsman S/T tires on my car. They need to be replaced due to side wall cracking. They drove ok, but they broke loose very easily under moderate load. I'm looking for something with a bit more traction capable, a little more "sticky". Perhaps a...

Only took her out on the back roads. Have yet to get to 70 mph, but when I do, likely next week, I'll post results.

I was finally able to take my maiden drive today after I received and installed my driveshaft. Didn't go very far - just in case. Only went about 5 miles, but everything seemed OK. There are still some small details to work out, but overall I'm satisfied. In the comming days, I'll post a little...

A little more clear now, but what confuses me is when I turn the adjuster past 1/2 turn, it pushes on the spring / valve tip and the valve begins to open - in my mind, this is not good.

I am for sure on the base circle. I did all the others without issues.
