Did orginal exhaust. Guy did great job on crossover and done the line $1100.00 Good to go. Thanks again.

It your car shifting ok now?

Thanks for your input and opinion . Ill let you know what i decide.

I changed the complete clogged filter in P/S reservoir. Crossed over Baldwin number P186 to Napa 1430. steering is really good now. Reservoir still gets hot but the lines are a lot cooler than reservoir. I'm thinking the engine heat maybe heating up the reservoir. For now I'm going to leave it. If i am not satisfied ill install a cooler at some time. Now that i got the car road worthy its time for exhaust system. I'm thinking 2" dual exhaust if it can be done. Pipes on crossover are 2" then go to 2.5" for a short distance then back to 2" all the way back. With quiet mufflers. Do you have opinion on exhaust?

Thanks for your reply. I follow you on the restriction. I going ck reservoir valving etc. Thanks for the advice I'll let you know what I find Thanks Much

Hey Rusty. New to forum. Ill take over with what I know about this trans took me quit awhile to understand the trans shift system. Know anything about the power steering system on this car. The steering wheel had lot play in straight ahead position. Then the play went away. I said good it fixed it self. Not so. The fluid in the reservoir gets super super hot. Cant touch the reservoir too hot. Did not check anything yet. I hope I don't have to get into the box. Reading about its looks like a cluster mess. If you got any idea let me know. Thank you much for your time. John

If you are having a problem with no automatic shift 1st to second and 3rd to fourth make a reply I could probably help. John Old GUY

Hi read Your post. Have like car similar to yours The brain child I bought it from put 12v battery in it - ground. Had generator converted to 12v with regulator. Ans a bunch of other stuff. Drove it home 150 miles with the 12v system trans trans shifted ok. Had car for three years. took out yesterday no automatic shift to 2nd or fourth. Checking voltages at circuit breaker and resistor block mounted by coil. so far that's looks good. Will continue to check trans,soleniod,govener and interrupter switch. All in all put a ballast resistor from your 12v ignition lead to coil. The 12v going to burn out the points. All 12v cars with points have that ballast resistor. If you want I can keep you posted about trans diagnoses
