Can someone explain what the accumulator in a Torqueflite does?
When we change over to a manual valve body, we put a blocking rod behind the piston to stop it moving. If you were doing a case from scratch, could you just do away with the piston and bore in the case?
Unless I read the wrong sections, I didn't find much of an explanation in the Monroe book.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Here's a thread I started a few years ago trying to understand what the accumulator does: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...me-to-fluid-flow-schematics-for-727.html

If you were doing a case from scratch, could you just do away with the piston and bore in the case? Yes. Many current race VB's effectively eliminate the accumulator by blocking all of the fluid passages to it.

Please tell me you are making an SFI approved case! A friend has asked me to do a billet A727 case for him. I wish I had the time to, but I don't see it happening any time soon. If I was to do a case for myself, it would be a 904 or Proflite type case anyway. Rumour has it that A&A are doing a billet A727 SFI case, are they going to PRI this year? That should be pretty cool if it happens,
