More transmission questions

Thanks, for the input. From the start, i have been trying to stay
mechanical vs electronic (as with efi type control system).

I haven't settled on any one unit yet. There are some other pressing
issues to take care of first... like get the audio-video system
installed the way I want it. (it all works, it's just the running the
wiring etc.)

I just copied down the info you provided, and it's a case of getting
the pieces parts together no matter which way I go. I'd just like to
have it done before I drive back east. Around town I can live with....
for now.... : )
