Just about done removing the old wiring. While looking under the dash I did see something I am really glad is there. Since there is no brake light switch the pedal could come up high enough to drop the pushrod out of the master cylinder. Mike has a piece of angle bolted on to the pedal mount to keep that from happening. A positive stop is a must for any car without the brake light switch.

My trans fluid of choice today. Why? you may ask when the light bulb salesman recommends something else?

Well, here's why.

1. The main purpose of trans fluid in an automatic transmission is to make the series of wet clutches and bands engage and disengage at the proper times by hydraulic action. So what? Well, you really don't want super slickery high zoot stuff in your wet clutches because it will make them slip. Slipping is not good for clutches.

2. Cooling is the second most importantest function of the fluid. All it needs to do is carry heat away from you non slipping clutches and bands and all will be well.

3. Lubrication is 3rd on the list because it is not a high priority in an automatic transmission. If the trans is built correctly there will not be much wearing going on anyway. If it's not built correctly no fluid in the world will save it no matter how much it costs.
