And explained it runs off the carb back to the tranny and control preassure in the tranny and some other things? Not really familiar with this so if you know more please feel free to school me! At any rate the 440 im putting in wasnt original to the car but was paired with this tranny I got as part of the deal and Im not sure if I have the piece he is asking about - anywhere I can get it? ----- 1973 Plymouth Road Runner

I had assumed that all of em did. You'll have your answer in minutes live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
