Just curious, Has anyone done this conversion? Quote from Allpar. tmm

The A-500 and A-518 truck transmissions were 727s and 904s with an overdrive added. A Canadian transmission builder (Doug Miller of Fireball Performance Automatics in Williamsburg, Ontario) has successfully converted these to shift via cable linkage as was the practice through 1965, thereby allowing owners of older MoPars to use this newer transmission and keep their pushbuttons.
 
I've never used them but Imperial Services has been offering this conversion for years.
 
Good to know. Thanks Jim.
 
It's been awhile and maybe things have changed, but you had to send in your pushbutton assembly to Imperial Services for the modifications.This could take awhile before the assembly is returned. It is best to find a unit to send in so you won't have months of down time. Just a thought.
