    Hey Randy, when you are tightening those blower bets they don't get tightened to near as much as something like a serpentine belt you want to leave it a little loose so it doesn't put extra strain on the snout of the blower

    Depending on how big the stall converter is, the higher gears could seem like they don’t exist because you might not be in the RPM range for them to kick in.

      The way it pulls out, I don't think it's more than 1800-2000 stall. It doesn't seem to be revving hard at all before it shifts (or DID shift)..😜

  • @topher8634
    @topher8634 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The way GM factory service manuals detail the adjustment of detent cable is with engine off, depress button and bottom out cable, then rotate throttle to full open and the cable will ratchet out. It is then supposed to be properly adjusted, but you could play with it a little in each direction while monitoring the line pressure. I don't know if all that applies to a built tranny or not. You could contact the builder and ask what the design line pressure should be and attach a gauge while adjusting it.

  • @Rastapirate1
    @Rastapirate1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I know that car has a stall converter and then the TV cable so adjustments for that cable may have to be done with pressure gauge. I have to replace one in a 91 Caprice and it had 1st and 2 but nothing else in forward gears but adjusted it several times and then finally with advice of my neighbor I got all gears again so maybe you had to hit higher RPMs for it to shift with the stall?? Or more cable adjustments. Find a trans shop with a"guru" and they could get it in this lifetime unlike many people that don't work on transmissions like they do.

      Thomas B. Jeffery founded the Thomas B. Jeffery Company in 1878. The Thomas B Jeffery Company built the Rambler bicycle. In 1897, the Thomas B. Jeffery Company started experimenting with an automobile that became the Rambler. In 1902, the Thomas B. Jeffery Company developed an assembly line. The Rambler was the 2nd mass-produced vehicle. Oldsmobile had the 1st mass-produced vehicle, and Ford had the 3rd.
      Charles Nash bought the Thomas B Jeffery Co. in 1916 and renamed it Nash Motors. Nash Motors reintroduced the Rambler in 1950 and produced it until 1954.
      Nash Motors merged with Hudson Motor Car Co. in 1954 to form American Motors Corporaton (AMC) and continued the Rambler in the US until 1969 and until 1968 in international markets.
      In 1967, AMC replaced the Rambler marque with the Rebel.

    Did Monster do the transmission for the Rambler ? It's a cool car but some of the work is pretty crude.
    Once you get the trans fixed and start hammering on it, who knows how much the engine will take before
    it has problems or grenades. Blowers put a lot of pressure on internal parts, and who knows what kind
    of parts they used when they built it, or how many hard runs it has on it. I can see it easily being a money pit.
    On the other hand, you could drive it and run the crap out of it, and not have any problems.

    That transmission should probably have a manual valve body, considering it's got a blown big block in front of it. (and a decent shifter!) That shifter looks like a major P.I.T.A. to deal with. A B&M Pro Ratchet would probably be a good choice in this case. Unless you're planning to actually race it, I don't think it would be wise to keep it, as it will be a constant money pit. Also not a good choice for any kind of drive n' drag trip with the blower since you'll probably only get 6 or 7 mpg. tops, and you'll need to find stations with good high octane fuel (or carry your own in a trailer). It's a neat car for sure, but it needs a lot of cleaning up, and of course the transmission issue.😉
