Thanks Rick and DV,
I will give Mike Forte a call. Also Bret Lykins had some good info for me at another site. My main question is about the external slave set up and was hoping you guys or someone familiar with CR's might have already invented something to work already.

About my car though, 390fe, I currently have a close ratio 4 speed toploader (works fantastic), rear end ratio is a 3.70 9", w/ Tru Track, mild cam, hot oil pressure (10/30 VR1) is normally 55psi cruising and only drops slightly at lower RPM's but at idle will drop to 20psi. Not a race car (yet) but a little overkill for a street cruiser. What happens is at freeway speed I am taching 3800rpms and would really like to drop that into the low to mid 2's. I have checked the ratios from the TKO600 and the .64 od seems to be the best fit.

If anyone needs a well sorted that has been rebuilt toploader RUG-AJ from a 1969 428 Torino, let me know. Located in So Cal.
Thanks,
John
