Nice addition yes Ken im on a crash A4LD course. love my auto so.......away we go so far daves 2.9 box is good, its the right year 1985, so has just wire for lockup. and of course (missing though) kickdown solenoid, but the Granada 2.0 has the kickdown servo (as car is complete and driving..., lovely drive on private roads) the granada should give me the bellhosuing i need, looking at it it looks like pinto spacing even though its DOHC spacing is same as pinto so just need to sort flex plate situation, will the DOHC flex plate fit the crank on pinto...i dont know then decide which of the 2 lock up tc's to use, shaft sizes etc ill prob bang a little toy on the car in form of a lockup overide swithc, ill see. oh and the grandad should give me a kickdown delay relay as well as the kickdown solenoid i need not sure on vac connection to a pinto though box needs a vac hook up on DOHC its picking up right by the throttle inlet into plenum chamber/inlet ill work it out love it.

cortina-city 141 Posted October 1, 2016 Nice vid with a bonus footage of the show. That rs2000 looked nice on those 15 4spoke reps. Thanks Rich ok well I got the box out of the grananda so that I can see if an 2.0 DOHC AL4D gearbox box will fit a pinto. It does. However flex plate to crank bolt spacing is slightly different. It almost lines up with a pinto crank but not quite. Im not sure waht to do now. Perhaps I coulkd weld the flex plate to fit on a pinto crank. or im wondering if the pinto engine was every mated up with an A4LD, if so i could find the right flex plate. well at least im moving forward. and fast in case anyone is wondering what im up to, im making the gxl an Auto using an A4LD box which has 4th (overdrive) and TC lock up becuase i love autos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
