225-235 cu.in. engine is usually around 100HP at the flywheel, stock. Add 2-bbl. and headers, figure 110-120 HP.

@@DeanMk1 I figure RWHp at around .73% of crank hp. Gross, the Super 6 was advertised as 155. My old 65 Barracuda slant with a Direct Connection mild cam and their aluminum 2bbl. Intake felt almost as strong as my 65 Dart with a 273 that was advertised at 180. I never had it on a dyno but thought it was probably around 125 net hp.

@@guylr7390 Wheel HP is 80% of flywheel HP through an auto tranny. 90% through a manual. The HP rating you gave is the old gross HP rating and often subject to a lot of optimism by manufacturers. The net HP rating for an engine in the 225-235 displacement range would be around 100 HP through a 1-bbl. carb. You're probably right about the HP rating of your Barracuda.

Sounds like your 3/4 plate in the shifter is backwards perhaps. On second thought, your lever on the trans is probably not installed correctly. Changing the orientation of the shifter lever at the trans allows you to change where gears are located, reverse included. You could make reverse left and down, rather than left and up by flipping the lever.

The overdrive A-833 was basically a gearset change to the existing A-833 transmission, which had been in production since 1964. By flipping the 3-4 shift lever 180 degrees, engineers were able to keep the direct-drive Fourth gear and substitute a set of 0.73:1 Overdrive gears in place of the normal Third gear, without changing the shifter pattern.
