it was fun, but i guess that is what i get for not checking the tranny before i ran the buggy, i got it and a black tube team car for really cheap and guess i should of checked it out before i put electronics in and ran it.. oh well now i will have an excuse to restore it.

Guess you didn't see all of the threads that urge against using a BL system in a 6-speed. That or you felt like grendading a vintage 6-speed rather than shelfing it and installing an MIP or Stealth. I hope it was a fun three minutes! Get a MIP off eBay.

That's par for the course. It's kinda like dropping a 502 cu in motor into a T Bucket
