Rodder's Roundtable / Newbie... here...
February 27, 2004, 12:39:26 AM
Just wanted to say Hi so I don't get my butt chewed off by the teeming horde.  Name is Travis... soon to be 39... have a 3 year old son and a gorgeous wife whose age is unmentionable.  I'm in Roseville, California... just outside of Sacramento.

Now to the important stuff...

My daily driver is a 3x2 348 powered 59 Impala convertible.  It's pretty much a rolling piece of crap because I never park it long enough to fix it like it deserves to be.  Also there's all these other damned distractions (besides the wife)...  A 60 El Camino and a 55 Chevy 1/2 ton big back window truck.  That's all of my rides... at the moment...  you know how it is.  

I can't think much of what else to say, other than it's nice to be here and it allows me to peek outside of my little HAMB world...

Rodder's Roundtable / Powerglide TV linkage question

I have a stack of these things on a shelf in my garage.  With the throttle closed, you want the rod pushing on the lever of the transmission ever so slightly.   Yes, it pulls on the carb, pushes on the transmission lever.   I've been told that if you run it without the rod setup, you burn up the PG.  Anyway if you need rods, the pivots, etc let me know.  I know I am getting thin in the rod department but I have about 6 or 8 of the pivot pieces that bolt up to the transmission bellhousing area.

Let me know.

I'm definitely a new Newbie.  Some of you might recognize me from elsewhere.  Just checkin' this place out... Is it customary to post an intro here, too?
