I have a TCI street fighter C6 in one of my cars.  It had a column-shift level in it when I purchased it, and I pulled the lever and replaced it with a C6 floor shift lever.  I'm using a Lokar kick down cable. 

The transmission works normally in D, but doesn't go into 2 or 1 when the floor shift lever is in that position, nor will it hold in the gear when selected from a stop.  The kickdown doesn't work either.

Suggestions on what I did wrong?

Thanks

Have a pair of 66/67 427 Fairlane 31-spline axles that I just swapped out of my street car for some aftermarket axles.  I've searched all the usual areas on-line and haven't found a recent benchmark for any FoMoCo factory HP axles.  Would seem to be in a similar range to Mustang/Torino CJ axles.

What have y'all been seeing out there recently for axle prices?

Thanks in advance

Have a new Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold, PN 71054. Same as the 7105, except with the chrome-like Endurashine finish.

Some port-matching was started on one side to LR (1246 gasket) size, but the ports are untouched on the other side.  You'd want to finish the port matching before installing this manifold.

Beautiful intake, wish I had another engine to install it on.  These are almost $700 at most outlets, I'm asking about what Summit gets for a new uncoated P-RPM.

SOLD - These headers appear to be Jardine or some other brand from the sixties/seventies.  They are for a FE engine and have GT/CJ bolt pattern.  Tubes 3 and 7 cross over under the oil pan.  Tubes 4 and 8 exit the engine compartment and rejoin the collector.  Makes starter access a breeze!  Primary tubes are 2", collector is 3-1/2".

While the outside of these headers is a bit dingy, the inside of the tubes have no carbon residue, only light surface rust, and there are no dents, leading me to believe that these headers have never been used.  They would look great with a fresh coat of header paint or ceramic coating. 

Byron Raceway announced that diapers are required for all cars running faster than 10.0 this year, and 11.0 next year.  Any consensus on best practice for attaching a diaper to a FE engine in a Fairlane chassis?

Have a blue thunder 1-4V intake, planning to run a Quick Fuel throttle body EFI, which requires a coolant temperature sensor to be mounted on the block side of the thermostat.  I also want to run the factory sensor for the idiot lights.  What's cleanest option for mounting the second sensor?

Would it make sense to add a port on the back of the manfold to measure the temp at the blocked off area of the water jacket?
