hmmm...so I have to hook up a speedo to the trans in order for the trans to work?



I was planning on just using an automoeter gauge...not sure which one yet though.

I had a mechanical speedo conversion done on my tailhousing. I did not want to run an electric speedo.
I used factory pedals, LT1 style hydraulics (GM# 12559912) with the Speedtech's pedal adapter and firewall mount.

I ditched the factory aluminum bellhousing and used a McLeod Scattershield (Sum# MCL-8760-00)
I also used McLeod on evrything else.
Flywheel (Sum# MCL-8760-00)
Clutch kit (Sum# MCL-75216)
Roller Pilot (Sum# MCL-8605)

Hurst Shifter (Sum# HUU-3915061) I had to get a white shifter ball for it...could not get used to the black one.

I also had to have my trans built, as it was bad to start with.

Works great now.

What was involved with that? Something you did or a trans shop had to do?

No, it doesn't affect the trans either way...but you'll need a VSS signal for the lockout solenoid linked above to work.

You can get it from the VSS signal to your autometer gauge as well I suppose, not sure what they use for a module to run it?

Looks like that flywheel is externally balanced. I don't know offhand whether your engine is balanced internally or not, but that flywheel may need to be rebalanced to suit.
