how do you go about adjusting the reverse band on these ok,,, reverse band ,,the proper adj. is loosen the lock nut on the rear of the trans,, tighten the stud to 10 foot lbs,,, than back off 1 and 1/2 turns,,,, for a derby trans,,, i would loosen the nut,,, tighten the stud 1/8 turn,, and lock it there,,

It looked like it had been that way for a while, chain was so loose it was about falling off. One bad rev and I would have been done. Drained the oil and a new filter just to be sure though. Set her 4° advanced and with the new HEI she runs pretty sweet

Thats what I use also. I have always used the flat powervalve cover, without the external vacume line. With that and a thick ford base gasket you can clear the powervalve and linkage without trimming the spacer, in my experence. ok,, the thick gasket,,,, I used the thin one under the spacer,,,ya think 2 thick gaskets with the carb and spacer will fit on the stock studs ? ..............lenny Just got this in the mail today! Curious about trimming it? Or would u reccomend the thick gasket? Is there a specific rebuild kit to get the thick gasket?
