I almost have my 78 Trailduster Sport back together now.Yours looks killer.I am swapping in a 82 727 trans and 205 case in a few months.How did you "slightly tweak" your tranny?

I bumped up the line pressure and added a B&M shift kit to it. Firmed up the shifts.

I am putting in thicker clutch pack snap rings,removing every other piston spring,boosting line pressure,and adding in boost valves and a home shift kit.It will shift hard enough to bark a 36 in second when I am done

Mine would bark 36's in low range when shifting to second.

Leach - Look in the general forum for your pics

This picture is from the PA Rally that Adam and I ran a couple years ago.

I think that this may have been about the most beat up my truck has ever been. At this point in the rally, the passenger side door has seen more trees than most lumberjacks, and will no longer open.
