Thanks Healingbear thats sums it up. I still got to find out why there is a loud bang sound at times. Also got to get my speedometer working so i can be more specific when that occurs. Would i need a special speedometer cable for the hydramatic? And also, what would be a good rear end swap with 6 lug for freeway gears. Right now i believe it tops off at 55mph. thanks in advance.
