I always remember as a kid looking in and seeing the push button shifter. Last registered in 1991 and sat for 20 some years on my little brother’s back 40, moved from house to house several times, but hung onto and inquiries to buy it fended off. Then one Christmas he says come get it, he will never do anything with it. My first Mopar project so it has been a learning experience. Fetched it from 300 miles away with a U-haul car trailer Aug 2012, and drove it the first time just 1 month and 8 days later. One exhaust valve promptly stuck open so had the heads done hoping that would be enough (89,000 miles on her at that point). First experience setting solid lifters too. Drove it several years meanwhile rebuilding the suspension etc, but she did have a lot of blow-by. Got in line for the new 4 bbl manifold as soon as I heard about it. Had the engine rebuilt the same time as receiving the manifold and valve covers this spring. Had not gone thru an engine since the early ‘80’s. Really happy with how grandpa’s Poly runs. It’s a blast to kick her down to passing gear when merging on the freeway. That’s when you can really hear the exhaust. Had FlowMaster 40’s on her with the 2 bbl, but with the manifold, 4 bbl and cam she was just too loud. Much mellower now with 50’s at idle and cruising – but loud when she needs to be. = ) The kick-down cable adjustment most def affects how the tranny shifts at all times, not just when kicking down to “passing gear”.. Shifts more positive when adjusted with less play. This is not your grandpa’s Dodge...........
