Re: P-N-D-L in 67 232 American

["Mark Price" <mprice@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is a very easy swap to put the vacuum line in, just get it with the trans. Electric kickdown is really not that big a deal for a car guy, just pull it down into second. Also if the parts car is a 67, just get the swtch setup from it. IIRC the 67 is still shaft linkage on the throttle. The 67 linkage should bolt right into the 65. The cable on the older car is getting hard to find. I would try to move up to the vacuum system if possible for a driver car.

>Frank's correct, there never was a 2 speed BW in an AMC but if you go back a few years, the early cast iron BW 8's only had D and L.
>Back to the 65 American, the 67 trans is not a direct bolt in. It would have had a cable for the throttle valve where the 67 would have a vacuum modulator and electric kickdown.
