I got a quote from that website guy "Keith".
His price is exactly the same as direct from GV. So...no deals currently around.. looks like I'm buying a new one.... and an additional 700 for A833 adapter if I swap to a 4 speed.
This hobby was more fun when lazy jerks (aka scammers) weren't...

I don't really mind grinding on a $100 set of swapmeet pipes!.lol
Just another fly in the ointment.
And I couldn't believe I was the only one who this has happen to.
Its just a little more geometry to consider when the block is decked and heads are shaved.
So I've been planing to use the Hedmans I got at a swap meet a few years back for my Eddy headed 383.
I made the "mistake" of using ARP studs. And guess what!
Studs stick up far enough to require grinding about .25" off the bottom of each flange. Still playing with if the studs will clear the...

So I just stabbed the cam...was going to pop the chain on and I got that sinking feeling..
Shouldn't there be a plug in this hole?

Between Tom's book and the FSM...I'm not finding a good answer as to determine # of springs.
I do see 1969 trans (hp varient) used 10 springs, 12 in the hemi..but the 71 and
on...only 9. This is a 62-70 unit.
So a trans I acquired years ago is being pressed into service.
It was allegedly rebuilt..(I agree) and with Hemi parts (mostly disagree).
So I found 4 new waffle cut clutches per drum..ok..not hemi..but not 3 either.
4 pinion planets, 9 springs in the front drum, and a sad little 3.2 lever...
