Re: Ratchet's Blazer - 1970 2wd with Original paint

It took me a while but I got it all together. Since the bracket moved back towards the firewall and inch or so, I had to cut an inch out of the outer cable, which it needed, in order for the inner cable to be able to reach all the way to the carb linkage. It was not fun getting the frayed cable back into the pieces that it needed to go through, I don't want to have to do that again. I hooked up the TV cable and set it, then took if for a test drive... That 700-R4 must have heard me talking about throwing it away in favor of a TKO, because that SOB is shifting like it's supposed to now.

Next weekend I'll get the VSS in and wired so that I can have a speedometer again, see what I need to install the rear sway bar that I got from Wynne, clean it up and polish the damn wheels again. Then I'll be ready for our meet in St. Francisville!
