Re: 904 vs 727

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an article in our Club newsletter for April 2001 regarding
buiilding 904 series Torque Flites You can kind this at
http://clubs.hemmings.com/classicamx.

Then scroll down for the links to the Newsletters and April 2001 issue.
There are some decent articles in the other newsletters as well if anyone is
interested.  These are HTML formatted articles for your viewing pleasure...
(as opposed to PDF files...

It may be that the 727 you have is better choice and it may be adjustable or
set up to make for less drag... Jim Mantle and Chris Morrison are probably
the guys to ask about this.
