[Damnittsteve]

We worked out those details last night so it will be coming . He is looking for a pedal assembly , bell housing & quadrant now .

ahem

Could also be the initial timing not being enough. I'll try 15-16 tomorrow. I'm wondering if the dizzy is able to keep up(?) it's a stock ford fox dizzy with vacuum secondary (good diaphragm).

You do know to pull the SPOUT connector, right?

The hardest part to find will be the pedals. a T-5 is cake, the cable, quadrant, and clutch are easy. You will get better MPG, and like the car 10x better. I have told Clint before. Auto's are fun if its just a track car, but if you DD it, a T-5 is where it is at. I personally do not like auto's even as track cars. I would rather bang gears.

There are a few little things to know that really help with that swap. The pedals are a bitch, to find AND install.

Not all pre -86 AOD's had carb'd engines. CFI injection started in 1984 on V8 & V6 cars with the only transmission choice behind it an AOD. These early AOD's used a TV rod (TV cable was introduced in 1986) and were weaker than the later AOD's.

I know Steve but he installed it, raced it, rebuilt it. Figured he would know. Just a thought.

[Damnittsteve]
