When I go to the junkyard and mention a 1960's vehicle, they laugh at me. This yard has vehicles all the way back to the teens. (as in 1918) Saw a ton of 30's and '40's too. Pretty cool stuff. Lot's of '60's Mustangs. Only saw one first gen 'Maro. Saw a pretty nice 1972 firebird. Pea green with a green interior. Looked pretty much complete, without much rust. What does a 68 Th400 kickdown switch look like? All I have is a vac line from the carb to the Th400. It kickdowns fine (floor it) but when I just cruise it drops back to 2nd. Wrong vac line source?
