Default 67 427 maiden voyage today

Well the trans shop got the trans back in the car and shifting into drive as well as fixing the leaks. All I got to say we only have a few minor things to fix before driving it again. All and all besides the bias tires the car drove very well. First time I ever drove a powerglide so that took some getting use too. so the check list to fix is small. Adjust timing to get rid of a small heastation, adjust the exhaust to stop a rattle, fix ac, and fix the fuel gauge. But the biggest thing is to remove the bias tires

True Dennis. It was the first time driving where the trans shifted into drive.
