What a great day at Carlisle today. It's going to be hard to top the FCBO member turnout we enjoyed today.
I spent an interesting evening swapping transmissions in the Admiral. I found a used 904 in the swap area that had been cleaned up and resealed, with 48K miles.
I snuck the Admiral out of bldg Y where it was on display, rolled it onto my vendor neighbor's trailer and, with some help from Jeff, (can't flip), and some others, swapped it into the car.
It goes into gear nicely but I'll test drive it in the am before seeking it back into bldg Y.

That is some crazy Hogan's Heroes type stuff right there! Sneaking the Admiral out under Shultz's nose and getting Carter,Newkirk and LeBeau to help....nice!! Who was Kolonel Klink?
Thanks for giving me credit Will, but I really just handed tools and was the parts runner. Will and the fellas helping him have all swapped more transmissions than me in the last decade... there is a time to stand back and know things are in good hands.
I took a couple quick pictures before going to help. I had to, as soon as I found out Will had taken this on in the middle of the swap area I knew I had found a C-body role model. Love her, take care of her and just deal with the little setbacks as they happen. For most of us, this would have all been devastating. Will never stopped smiling.
What a great show!
I'm even starting to remember names. LOL!
I'm glad the FCBO Team was there in force this year!
Just amazing!!!!

In the age of knowing how to get things done, there's no room for a sick tranny

Way to go Will! Wish I could have been there to lend a hand.

The Admiral drove out fine this morning. The lockout converter feels a little odd to me, (it's an 82 trans).
I was able to sneek him back into bldg Y and the C body display before 8am.
The fellow who offered up his trailer to use as a work rack also offered to haul the original trans to his place in SC and keep it there until I can pick it up. it will not go back in as long as I am caretaker but needs to stay with the car, IMO.

Did you put Type F in it Will?

If you're gonna change a transmission during a car show, it might as well be when you have all these great guys around. Maybe next year somebody will do an engine swap...

Hopefully as an upgrade and not because of necessity. LOL!
