Hi guys. I am working an putting together the 445 for my 66LTD and have two transmission questions. Car has a C6. One is if I need to find a different kick down rod going from the stock 4v intake to a CJ intake? And two, does anyone know of a transmission shop in the twin citys Minnesota area? She still shifted good but it leaks from every conceivable opening in the trans.

Depends on which 390 intake you are replacing. The C4 and T manifolds have a carb height of 4.06". The S manifold is 4.75", while the CJ is 5.06". Carb setback is identical on all four of these manifolds. You might be able to use the same rod if you currently have the S, but if you have one of the others, chances are you might need a new one. You can contact Kickdown Rods Galore and More and they can tell you. He can custom-make one for you, too. Their customer service is top-notch, highly recommend them.
