Thanks guys. I appreciate the info.

Its been a while since I've had any chrome plating done but now I'm looking for a good place in the Great Lakes area. Someone suggested B and R Custom Chrome. Does anyone know these guys?

We went with New Vintage in Detroit and they did a great job. Thanks for all your help.

A friend of mine is building a 55 1st generation GMC truck and is looking for  gauges. He wants a gauge set that looks close to original and electric. Any ideas who might have something.

So I did something I have never done before. I bought a set of cheap mechanical gauges for my 327. The temperature gauge works just fine when cruising around town but when I hit the highway the gauge jumps to 225 and then down to 210 (when the thermostat opens) even though the engine is actually about 185 when checked with a heat gun. I don't think their is any fix short of replacing it with quality gauge but I wonder if anyone else has experienced this?

Well guys the fluid and filter were fine. I added a quart of Lucas trans fix and put an adjustable vacuum modulator in. I'm not sure where the modulator was set at but it really shifts better now. When its cold it still shifts slower but not nearly as much. I think the Lucas stuff worked its magic.

I just picked up a car with a 327 and a power glide trans. I've noticed that the trans up shifts quite a bit later when the car first starts up in the morning. After it warms up it shifts where you would expect it to. The car wasn't driven much during the last six years and now I'm driving it every day. I'm told the seals may have hardened and it will only get worse. What do you guys think.

I'm not sure why they work but they do. Thanks for all your help guys!

Got um. Thanks guys.

I got my relays today but there was no wiring diagram included. They five leads: black, yellow. blue, red and black. How do I know where they go:
        87a
        30    
        87
        86
        85
 Thanks for any help.

I ordered the 5 pack on Ebay now I hope I can figure out how to wire them when they show up. Thanks for all the help guys.

Thanks for all your help guys. Here is what I found at Summit. Would two of these do the job?

So what brand/part number 5 pole relay do I need?

I have a LAD 6. I saw those directions but the grounds to the relays will still not get a ground to the motor in the linear actuator.

I bought a new Auto Loc unit from Summit to replace one that failed. The old one grounded through the housing/mounting bracket so I thought the new one would to. It has two hot/power leads coming (one for in and one for out) but the housing isn't ground. I'm not sure if it's a defective unit or I'm missing something. Summit's tech line didn't know and Auto Loc will not return my calls or emails. Can anybody help me with this. Thanks,
