I have been running a Jerico for three seasons behind a 418"Windsor,car runs easy 10.30s-10.40s in a 3200lb 65 Comet on 29.5X13X15 slicks.I just broke the 3/4 shift arm back in September,I had an engineer look at it,he stated it was cast and just case hardened not through hardened.I ordered new shift arms from Jerico,they are beefier and seem to be through hardened.I use a Long shifter with no stops,as everyone I have seen do not have stops! I do third gear burnouts but stick in the clutch just as the tires start to bite.When I installed the new arms I checked the movement of the shifter,rods,and arms,they seem to be moving in a straight plain,no twisting or side loading,and I did not notice the shifter trying to move the arms beyond the engagement point. I will be paying more attention to this issue after reading everyones posts,some great points of concern!! ROY.
