Sounds like something for the street? Someone in Salina had one for the street. You may know who it was, it slips my memory right now.

There were several people who built those powerglides, Carl Wyatt & Jack Walker made a closed drive adaptor for them, if I remember right Carl casted them out of aluminum. I know Jack's still alive and living in Tuttle OK, has a machine shop there with Bobby & Ricky. In OKC Mike Allison at Allison's transmission 405-681-5618 might be able to help you out, I know Mike is still alive but I don't know if he still works in the shop everyday but his son still run's the shop so he should be able to help you. I'm curious about the Jelly car you have is it spring front with stacked rear tubes? There was alot of guys who ran those P/G's back in the day some ran them with open drinelines some with the closed adaptor, the were quick on the throttle with that hog's head it was like running a button. Thinking about it Jim or Ernie Messimer should also be able to help you out, they still race here in OKC. Their dad Steve used to build those P/G's for the #8 Southwest Automotive School car driven by David Brotherton.

Thanks for the reply, It has the alum. casting A-1 racing products. The car is A. J. Littles, built in 1974 spring front & lay down bars. It was built with a 3 speed but those Nance Trans are hard to find. It was later switched to a PG.

A-1 was the adaptor built by Carl Wyatt & Jack Walker, Carl did the molds and casting and Jack machined them. They were a nice piece, any of the guys named should be able to help on rebuild.
