Took the Morris to Rialto 1/8 mile today and the new C4 worked great! Made 11 runs (5 practice and 6 eliminations)and the trans shifted good and had only a minor leak from being a little over filled.

I went 6 rounds in the trophy bracket and lost in the final. Got a nice runner-up trophy though.The best run was #3 when I lined up against a NHRA A/SA '69 Camaro with so many decals on it you could hardly see the red paint. I ran a 7.854 on a 7.85 dial with a perfect .500 light. It was really sweet seeing the look on that guys face after my 289 Morris beat him.I didn't do too bad with the new trans after-all.Good day at the track.

Well done Jim,It's good to see everything came together well..It sure would be interesting to see what that shift prob was though..

Hey BFX.I like the pics of that little Ranchero on your Rialto pics.There's something about primer grey that I love.

Thanks for the comments. I've always felt that bracket racing had a lot to do with luck. Next time I'll probably lose first round.

Greg,I tore into the old trans and found nothing obviously wrong except for the burnt-up forward clutches and intermediate band.It would be nice to figure out what caused this but I may never fiqure it out.
