Thank you all again. I am hoping to try it out next week when I get back and see what the mystery transmission does. Seems odd with about 61k original miles that it would be wore out. I am sure sitting for 20 years and off the road for 3 has dried everything out causing it to leak. I am doing all new gaskets on the engine now because they have shrunk and dried. Have seen a few drips on the water pump gasket as well as the thermostat. Carb needs to be rebuilt gaskets leak on that to. I might bite the bullet and just pull and store the 2 barrel manifold and go for the 4 barrel. For the little extra cost I think I will be happier with the higher HP. Cheers!
