Thats some funky *** shifter handle on there as well. HUGE

That's what an 86-88 A/T shifter handle looks like.[/quote]

I have never seen one before, rather large[/quote]

On a side note: My friend is running my T-78 now. He dynoed at 499 RWHP at about 20-22 PSI, but he still needs to do more tuning.

It's still a shitty auto, at least the FD had twin turbos and a better auto tranny.
