  1. I'm tempted except for the 2,000 miles. I have access to a press that is twice what is needed for that transmission. I'm good at making tool (machine lathe) and a synchro isn't that big a deal to one off. All it takes is insanity to buy a car with a transmission nobody can fix reasonably in the hopes of fixing it yourself. At the worst I would have to install a 555 from a turbo daytona.

  2. About the caddies. I almost tried to open one with my key one day when I wasn't paying attention. At the last minute I thought "My TC needs to go on a diet". If imitation is flattery, GM paid Iacocca a big compliment. Check out the Daimler double six flashing ad on the left of these pages. Great read. Provenance back to the factory in 1929?

  3. don't give up yet!!!! somebody is selling a Rampage in Ca I think. He calls it the Ramarati. Yes!!!the Masi engine in a Rampage. there is another link about a Shelby? Rampage in a jy out there. It's illegal to buy a junker and a perfect jy car and switch the vins though. (Don't get caught) check td.com and Tm.com for the Rampages.

    there is a nice 450 SL in a Pick N Pull in Ca also. I think they still have a good title on that.

  4. Half correct answer. Loose nut behind the steering wheel installed a NEW hep 3 years ago and forgot to apply dielectric grease. The hep socket plugs had a nice uniform coat of verdigree.

    Anmd WELCOME to TIMMAY 2!!!!!!! of Turbododge. This is the Looneytuner.

  5. Well, you also have next year. He just unloaded an extra 413 with the extra clutches about a month ago for 650. Or get AAA and you can enjoy the tow truck ride home when it goes completely.

    I look at my cars as works in progress.

  6. Fact. The 89 TII auto TC started cutting out when I hit bumps in the road. The tach would jump when the engine cut out. Temp was 95 Degrees. Speed 70-80. The engine would catch again if I floored it. It finally died when I went down the off ramp for the house.

    Hemi can send me an email to save me grief. I think I know what it is.

    Post your guesses. Winner gets to pay my expenses to next year's nationals. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

  7. Get a cheap boost gauge to check the boost in higher rpm's. I assume you can hear the turbo spooling when you wind out the engine. The Mitsu turbo runs out of spunk at higher rpms also. It is quicker spooling but what can you say?

    If you had new rings and bearings done, that would have been the time for the better turbo.

  8. I thought I should post a warning. The shippers stand the fenders on end. Look at the front and rear conrners of the fender. VERY fragile. If you are shipping or receiving one, use very heavy cardboard longer than the fenderlength and duct tape it to the fender securely. the first one i bought was destroyed at the rear corner. The second was bent at the front over the headlight. The second was wrapped in an entire roll of bubble wrap and took half an hour to remove.

  9. Just a nice drive from you in Ct.

    There is an easy inexpensive way to ship the transmission. I think it is a 35 gallon Rubbermaid container. They strap pack styrofoam around it, and use four straps though holes in lid and sides to keep the lid on. Cliff can give the details. His email is on the site.

  10. You might have 2 problems.

    For the staying full out, I had that many years ago. It was a cracked cruise housing. Not much fun when it goes to full boost while making a right turn pulling into traffic. Until you figure that part out, diconnect the vac line to the cruise and plug the line with a dowel or bolt. Or try tapping the brake next time.

    My cruise would only work with HIGH moisture in the air. It would seal the hairline crack.

    As you can see by his pic on his homepage, he loves the cars more than money. the best in the country for the 413. He was also one of the first in the country to do the Quaife differential comversion in the A413. His son is also qualified on transmissions and adding power. If you can drive it there, that would be the cheapest probably, but any shop can install the transmission. I have done it myself. His standard rebuild is much more than you get at any regular shop.
