Everything that I have read says that the center wire on the switch is for the trans to only start in park or neutral which it does. According to the ron francis instructions I ran a keyed 12v source to on...

Dug out my instructions to try to figure it out and a day later I'm here asking for help. Instructions...

Re: jeep engine in my 69

Been driving my truck for a few days now and it seems to run high in rpm's when out on the road. I'm thinking about swapping the trans to one with od. My question is is there an exact swap with minimal fab work. And what else would have to be changed. I have searched on here and could not find exact...

Re: jeep engine in my 69

Re: jeep engine in my 69

idle was fine. I could rev and it was fine. I never tried to hold rpm's up. The only time I noticed it wanting to die out was while out driving. Almost like it was out of gas. Sometimes I could pump the gas and keep it running but other times it would die. I would let it sit for a minute or two and ...

Rewired the entire truck with a kit from Ron Francis. New mech. fuel pump. All new brake lines and shoes with cylinders...
