Which wires Gaba? My swap didn't involve any wiring.

So....you have no back-up lights and the car will start in any gear?  Hmmmm, remind me to not park ahead or behind you on the way to the Bash, Bob.

Thanks for grabbing this, Barry.

If he doesn't find that leak he'll have a gravel truck following him to take advantage of the free road-oil.

If you know anyone over there who might have an interest in that 57, shoot me a note.

See ya in about 2.5 months.

I guess it's cause you didn't have a C4 or C6 with the box mounted switch.

Yep,  mine came with that light weight FMX.

The red-blue pair of wires.

The other pair were back-up light wires.

I cut the adjuster rod and shortened it. But, I also got custom cables for the rear discs.

When I first did my AOD I just cut the cable loop back one side from the adjuster and double clamped it back together.

Please explain I didn’t quite get that

If using the 65 two cable system, like I am, cut both sides the same amount and reswage some ends back on them.

Gaba, you can use a wire rope clamp. Most hardware stores should carry them. They are sized by the cable that goes through them. Should look the same as the link.

Here's a video on hand swaging. You can pick the tool and fittings up at Home Depot.

If you use the loop and slip through coupling, try to leave the cut end of the cable up inside the fitting. It prevents the sharp ends of the cut cable from scratching you when you are working near the cables.

And, those cables should be tough to cut. Use a good pair of diagonal cutters, I called them dikes for years, to nibble through the cable.  Klein brand was my tool of choice.

I HAVE GOOD NEWS!!

finally got the nerve to, and finished enough small projects to start the mustang! And no weird noises!!! Put the car in gear, and It took it!!! Reverse worked, Drive worked... all still on the jackstands but it all worked!!!

One leak at where I have the external filter installed by the radiator. that rubber hose and clamp weretn fully correct I think , but apart from that NO leaks. no chirps. or squeals and squalls! I have a video of the car running, cant see me, but I am screaming and heck YEAH-ing and dancing!! LOL  hahah if you want to hear me scream I will upload it!! LOL

The car is still on jackstands, needs that hose fixed, TV cable tightened a bit as it wants to not move with the throttle very well (got some excess slack) .. Nuetral safety switch hooked up,

The H pipe had to be cut open to get the old exhaust pipes on, as the crossmember is in the way. It is  loud for sure with all the exhaust leaks and the open H section.. but should be drive-able to the exhaust shop

Does it shift out of 1st.. no clue.. but I know the valve body is working enough to take the Reverse, and Drive commands :D :D I am a happy camper :D


 

Very happy to hear all that, Gaba.  I nude you could du it.  Anybody that can build and fly heliochoppers can sure as heck bulid an auto box.
As Bob says, run it thru the gears on the stands,  then check and top off the fluid when warm and running in park.  Then tighten up the TV cable and get 'er off the stand and on the street.

Ok... very good news!!
Adjusted TV cable by the book (as much as possible), with a pressure gauge and everything . Dialed it in at 35psi , in nuetral, hot and idling , with that TV cable spacer pulling the cable in.

Ran the car through it’s gears multiple times . I don’t know if I felt the 2-3 shift much, but I sure do know it went to OD as it was 60+ mph and doing 1500 rpm.

Car is off the jacks finally!! Waiting for exhaust shop to open ..
Here is a video of the car making a lot of ruckus, and settings TV cable .

Btw did some digging and reading up on TV cable ... and here is my trying to need out on it

https://youtu.be/ogpRFgAH85I

The leak is saw in this video was from the Oil pressure tap port that had the gauge on it

Resolved when plug was back on
