Re: cuda colors & pushbutton woes

[Robert <r.lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob

Havent you ever seen a 71 cuda with those big decals on the rear quarters, with 
the engine c.i.d. in big numbers at the leading edge? Well theyre known 
as billboards. Not that we get many round here, 71's are quite rare in these 
parts, and they were only an option on 71's.

As for our 727, the guy that rebuilt it for us fitted a Trans Go shift-kit, 
but I'm not sure which one. I'd imagine it would be the no.2 from what you 
say, as it's mainly for street use. I must say thought, that the shifts 
from 1-2 and 2-3 arent anywhere as firm as those in our 69 Sport Satellite's 
727, which also has a Trans Go kit. We get a chirp of the tires in that 
car, even a moderate throttle. No hint of tires being chirped in the 63. 
Not yet, anyway.
The only firm part is when you do get it into drive from neutral, it does 
make the car jump forward quite a bit, even with your foot hard on the brake.

I'll have a look at the Moparts.com tech pages, thanks for the 'heads up'!

And good luck with yours!

Robert
