Re: Speed channel 10 a.m. sunday
-------You are correct, Joe. Red Alert did have a manual valve body and a 5000rpm converter specially designed for it by a guy named Dick Gazan out of the San Dimas area in Cal. Dick had a shop that specialized in Mid-sized "stock" suspension GM cars. Converter got me a tenth or two and his rear suspension got me down in the low 1.40s on the 60. Any who saw it run at its best know that it launched HARD! Also had a trans brake but it never really helped the ET so I rarely used it. Dick sort of disappeared several years ago. I think he had some kind of legal problems. Would like to track him down as he always treated me great...........Bill S
