I subscribed, after seeing yer 1st video.. Loved this ride along... I cannot help, but think, 🤔 the worst case scenario you described in the 1st video, could be prevented, perhaps, with wiring some relays, to create an "interlock" circuit protection for the trans? If the aftermarket hasn't already beat me to the 👊 punch ? Keep at it brother...
My ratchet shifter has 2 micro safety switches: one for park and one for neutral. I thought about adapting the one for neutral to instead use for 3rd gear. If the switch isn’t engaged, it wouldn’t allow you to go into OD or lock the converter. Or, if you are in OD or have the converter locked, and you downshift, it would drop out the switch, thus disengaging OD and unlocking the converter.
I like the way you think, on the shifter switches. I would be so bummed, if I smoked a trans because I was having a near senior moment, and forgot manipulate the dash switches ! @@dihlonbecker3965
Do you have rack n pinion steering? If so which one - I’m looking at doing a conversion on my 68. Also love the steering wheel- what’s it’s called? Love your build
I’m running the Steeroids power rack and pinion. www.speeddirect.com/shop/product/1964-1-2-1970-mustang-steeroids-rack-pinion-conversion-kit-with-column-power-steering-7578?category=1#attr=132,123,126,129 The Hooker 6208’s did not fit on the driver’s side. I had do beat the crap out of one of the primaries to get it to fit around the steering linkage. It would have fit with manual steering.
The steering wheel is similar to this one. I’m not sure of the exact model though. www.speedwaymotors.com/Grant-440-Challenger-GT-Steering-Wheel-13-1-2-Inch-Chrome,6023.html?CSEGoogle&CSE&CSEGOOGLE&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5cOwBhCiARIsAJ5njuYfWY1a3R6vvuk7Z0r0OPRdorGWusim_bYO8JYVBhcb1jFyNxgHi20aAvuwEALw_wcB
I bought it new in the box from a buddy of mine for $500. If I remember correctly, at the time he bought it, the one with the trans brake was not an option.
Noticed when you turned on overdrive the slightest rev-up. I had a C4 years ago that revved like that on the 2-3 shift. Never went bad just a little annoying. Lol. Love your car.
Nice

How much did the manual valve body cost you? Would have been sweet if you got one with a trans brake.

Love the ride a long. I am still foggy on the Torque converter lock up botton and why do you use it??? Thank Much!
This video explains TC lockup pretty well:
