Hello all. I just started dabbling in the world of vintage sun tachs. I have a sst-709 with the eb-9a transmitter box. I modified it with a voltage regulator to run 2.7 volts exactly so you no longer need the mercury batteries. My question is why is my needle pegged at 9k? Is my meter movement...

Yes, it’s not original. I’ll just leave the 1/2 alone. Seems to shift just fine in that orientation. Good eye on the reverse rod!

That configuration did not work the adjustable end hits the reverse lever

How should the 1-2 shift rod be ?

Wow you’re absolutely right haha! Problem is fixed no more binding. Sometimes you just need an extra set of eyes.

It doesn’t fit in that orientation. The adjustment hits the 1-2 rod

Here are a couple of photos I snapped

Without the rod attached it goes in and out of reverse perfectly. But once the shifting rod is attached, that is when there is a bit of binding and trouble going into gear. I will check the rods but the revers rod is very distinctive from the others on this set up

Yes, turned out to be multiple issues as i mentioned above. The car shifts perfect now and down shifts just as well. If I do have issues in the future I will definitely open it up and check exactly what you mentioned! Reverse is still a bit sticky, I believe the rod is bent and pushing at a...

I will check for the spring and detent ball!

That’s a game changer, I had no idea they had these. I will put them in tonight. I found a pretty good deal on Amazon. Same day delivery https://a.co/d/bLqkcbm

I will send photos of my levers today. Maybe you guys will see something I don’t.

Thank you, I will do just that. This shifter seems to be a universal shifter. I purchased it from an older Mopar buddy of mine. When I go to adjust the linkage with the Allen wrench my rods do not reach my linkage. I have had to connect them normally and make adjustments to shift into each gear...
