YEAH! FedEx finally found my address and delivered my camshaft! I went with a Crane Powermax Hydraulic cam. *BIG SMILE* Rick, I am taking your advice and have soaked the engine bay and front wheel wells with oven cleaner. Bet that Sodium Hydroxide will cut some of it off. Nice cleaning tip - thanks! Brien, thank you for posting all the transmission info. I am going out to the shed after I type this and get the numbers off the bell housing to check it, although mine is probably the routine 727 trans since it came out of a 77 Matador Brougham II. -Lu-
