    Interior insulation part 2

    Been reading posts about interior insulation (heat and sound) and find there are options. Didn't see anything on spray on products such as Lizard Skin. Seeing my 78 doesn't have A/C and anything over 85 sucks, I need to do some major interior upgrades. Any opinions on the spray on stuff?

    Rebuilt 700R4

    Push button ignition

    Hope all is well with everyone and y'all are prepped for all that white stuff coming soon. I have a question on installing a push button ignition (hidden) and have seen these installs using a relay and also without a relay. If one was to connect the push button between the solenoid and the...

    instrument cluster

    Picked up a decent original instrument cluster and bezel for my 78 gmc k15 as what came with the truck was an aftermarket cluster that doesn't look right. And really doesn't fit right either. The original cluster is missing several lights and the main connector that plugs into the circuit...

    Glad I found this post....now my whining/questions... I am working on a 78 GMC k15. 350 with 700rh. Here's my dilemma. I cannot for the life of me get the flex plate and started to line up and mesh correctly. It produces a horrific grinding sound. I've shimmed several different times but...
