Bernie Casey (aka koolstuff0099) [ View ] [ koolstuff0099@comcast.net ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] Newburyport, Massachusetts (978) 337-0099  Koolstuff

28 degees this morning. Took my coupe out for first time w/new 700R trans. Wow, I'm all smiles. When that shifted into OD the RPMs dropped as it should and everything got whisper quiet. I hope there's no "break-in period" cuz I gave that new lower first gear a real test! Now I need to work on wind noise from around doors and vent glass. I've replaced all the rubbers/seals with OEM type but still have annoying noise. Any suggestion how to pin point the culprit? New wheel color....Whatta-u-think?

I was thinking of doing that tape deal and remove little at a time. Cant drag dollar thru at top but rear edge of door seems to be a problem. Also even with good quality rubbers the vent windows just dont seal correctly?

Do you have correct TV cable radius on carb linkage? Jim [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Huntingtown, Maryland   Posted by lenbeal  -  03/25/2008 10:54 AM I put a 700R in my 46 last july, the 2 days before louisville. Wow what a difference. I am now getting about 18.6 mpg on the road. I usually run abou 65 mph. As for the wind noise in a rag top it just part of the ride. But I do have a good sound system... flyingb [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] harrogate, Tennessee
