So, I have an engine angle of zero° and a rear end angle of 4°. I understand between zero and 3° is ideal for drive shaft angle. I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the trans end since there is no play in the motor mounts, but I can add an angled shim to the rear end under the...

Some info I should have included. It has an Edelbrock 4 barrel and a Mummert intake on it. The car is a cruiser. Lowered 3", continental kit, etc. Just looking for the most efficient set up which is why I was curious. I know they had 3 sizes for V8, one I6 and a 2-speed or a 3-speed...

Thanks.

So, I did the AOD swap in my 59 Edsel with 15" wheels and a 292 and stock rear end with 3.10:1 now. The trans was for an 88 thunderbird with a 302. What rear gear ratio would be a better set up for this vehicle now? Interested in your thoughts.

Sold Sold

My computer illiterate friend is selling his 1940 Mercury Eight 2 Door project car. He lost his lease for his place and has to move out of the garage, sold his lift, all his flathead parts, tools and other cars but still has this left. Trim and misc. parts included. Mercury V8. New Running...

Thanks all. He got what he needed.

That looks like the same bracket minus that strange flat piece on top of mine that has two holes to mount who knows what. I was going to pretty much cutaway all the excess which will end up close to that and keep the stock pedal if it clears the T.V. cable. I will use that diagram as a guide...

Yeah, I have the Lokar AOD selector on the way. Just got the T.V. cable and an Edelbrock cable bracket and looking at the stock Intake mounted throttle set up. I am hoping I can dx the shifter rod and most of the bracket and the T.V. cable will work without either getting in the others way...

I already got one good answer prior, then another. Seemed like the run of the mill "you should take that someplace else" or similar comment like take out the SBC that has little or nothing to do with the OP. c'est la vie

Well, I am glad you came on the post to make your opinion know rather than answer the question asked or ignore it and move along. I bet it made you feel good about yourself. And that is really all that matters.

Tubman, And yet I got two answers to my very question without having to join another forum site so...

Sorry, I am not tracking. The TV cable and gas pedal are one issue. And the column shifter another. The TV mounts to a bracket off the carb and it looks like that will not be in the way of the OEM throttle rod off a bracket on the intake so I might be able to use both. Fingers crossed. The...

So far, I got the Bendtsens AOD adapter to attach the Trans with. Got the Lokar TV cable but cannot use their throttle cable as it will not work with a OEM gas pedal. I am hoping I can somehow use the stock gas pedal and the Lokar TV cable together. Lokar has no idea and wants me to use their...

Oh, I know a Fairlane and an Edsel are the same car with a different hat and tie but I did not want to state that out loud as the Edsel mafia is always watching.
