Neil,
I have not "plumbed" the pushbuttons that way but I have heard that you can
and the result is full auto operation in "D"rive and the "1" button
operating "2"nd gear.

Gary, when you connect a T/Flite trannie to a Plymouth P/Flite pushbutton
console, can't you just
continue to use the P/Flite's pushbuttons' D and the '1' buttons, with the
'1' button (now-) controlling
the T/Flite's '2' button's operation---and, just, not using the T/flite's
'1' gear-button?

The '56 Ply with 277 is a good combo and can take any rpm up to 5200
easily. Your rpm preference should be the noise factor on a highway
cruise and not a concern of durability. 3100rpm at 70mph is about what
the average person should expect with 3.54 rear gears; and with stock
mufflers it is just fine. I ran my '56 Ply (which I still have since
1968) ran nicely through the desert at 80mph constant speed with the
stock engine and 3.54's w/Powerflite.
My suggestion is to switch from a 6cyl. to a 62-66 Poly 318 for stock
OEM look but tons more power and less expense/hassle of finding early
Poly trans/certain engine parts.
I have set my '56 Ply up so it looks 100% stock with the alum. case
Torqueflite utilizing the original pushbutton dash pod location; I can
give you all the specifics later as I need to get to work; e-mail me
off-line if you like.
Thank you,
Gary Pavlovich

Yup, I've got a '56 Plymouth Belvedere with 277. Don't have a
tach, but it' not "screaming." [Sometimes the wife,
She-From-Whom-The-Receipts-Must-Be-Hidden, old Indian name, does
scream.] There are several of us '56 Plym owners here on the list.
The 277/301/318, erroneously called the "wide block," is a very
good engine. Last installed in 1966, but you should be able to
find one. The newer ones will be set up for aluminum TorqueFlite.
It could be a challenge to set up pushbutton for a TorqueFlite in
a '56 Plymouth. IIRC the '62 Chrysler T-F is sought after because
it has the aluminum casing with tailshaft parking brake and
pushbuttons. Finding a pushbutton unit that will fit your dash
pod will be a challenge. Some Dodge trucks used a T-F pod that
will fit exactly in a '56 Dodge, but Plymouth is a different housing.
You didn't mention what transmission you have in the car now. If
it's a three-speed you might consider adding overdrive.
What you do depends a lot on how stock appearing you want the car
to be.

Anyone on the list running a 56 plym with a v/8. Wondering
what kind of rpm's your turning on the highway.
And if the motor is screaming going down the road. Debating my
next step in my car, whether to replace the 6 cyl with an oem
277 v/8 or a later model small block and a torqueflite trans.

Sorry, I won't open anything like this, especially if there is
no explanation at all.
This is the second time I've seen this sort of thing this week
on the Forwardlook listserver.
Too many computer viruses and other spyware out there.
