Tech Question
Dan Michalek, White Pigeon, MI 1989 Dodge Caravan 360
Dr. E-berg, I have a TorqueFlite question for ya, I have an A-727 out of a '78 Lil Red Express in my Caravan(!) It has the MP shift kit, plus the 5.0 lever, a Transpack kit, all the good MP clutches and bands, etc. The problem is, no matter where I set the TPV, The darn thing shifts out of low at 4200 in drive,W.O.T. and my new 360 wants way more than that. 2-3 happens about 5200, which is ok.
Is this a heavy govenor problem, or should I switch to the full comp valve in the valve body?
P.S.- YOU THE MAN! I used to disagree with your single plane theory, but after running this motor with a torker 340, You made a believer out of me! My only problem now is, trying to figure out what to do with all the dual planes I have laying around!
Dan-
There used to be several high-upshift (i.e., lighter) governor weight sets available for the later (large-dia.) governor setups such as yours - from apps. as diverse at RWD Colts to 4-cyl. Jeeps! Unfortunatley, most, if not all, of 'em have gone NS1. However, most of the larger tranny shops that specialize in T'Flies can hook you up. One guy who knows this setup inside out is Rick Allison, proprietor of A&A Transmission in Camby, IN.
