My dad and I both run the Lofgren blanket. Fits great in both cars and there is no fricken way they would "aid" in heating a trans up. They cover the critical area of the torqueflight and they have been proven to work. I haven't talked to Chuck in a long time. It would be a bummer if he wasn't having the blankets made any longer.
Do you drive the cars on the street? Just curious because I plan on using one and am worried it'll keep too much heat in the trans.

I originally had a blanket but on the street it was a big pain keeping the straps off of the headers,you had to have the middle one just right so it did not interfere with the shifter arm (turbo action). I went to a CSR shield, you have to trim the transmission tabs but in my 67 Coronet there were no tunnel modifications needed.
