Looks like they raised the price. Still only $12.44 though. www.amazon.com/Universal-Changeover-Positions-Terminals-Generators/dp/B0972MBPZP/ref=sr_1_25?crid=1T69D1L13R11L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CJOPFPuyh_7L3xZRKZ6jgEnzkfuWUf5TiZY62wbQB77asX7Ru9wKXWTHmP8OIpZGX7m98gYeJTNa-glPud9NLtxr2_S7VOeYjDuavOOR6ijtXCJkvcxk0Cu-X297XUQ6De2CeXg8IullsAtfCI787WFqRexwQ7_jePD--RkU13rIyD2v5KJvnH0EeO3v-n21hAyXpy4ybvtMKWhb8v_79yQg6IRHpW0letEdkzHhWWg.Db2ES6PFPi9RU2flT2YoVHbVMXFJ7wRo_I9cMNkxqEg&dib_tag=se&keywords=4%2Bposition%2Brotary%2Bswitch%2B16%2Bterminals&qid=1736379881&sprefix=4%2Bposition%2Brotary%2Bswitch%2B16%2Bterminals%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-25&xpid=VOLAO2HVKRArR&th=1

Surprisingly good.

👍

Yes, D is what i think of as "forward" mode, when the gear shifter is in "D" we can select a forward gear by activating solenoids. Lack of input (both solenoids off) and the 4l60e defaults to 3rd gear, the 4l80e defaults to 2nd gear.

I don't have it in a vehicle yet, just prepping. The expectation is that there won't be any kickdown or automatic shifting, and that it would stall if put in OD lockup when stopped.

!! That's a really good idea !! Better than my 4 plus a switch. Pretty sure I'm going to use that idea. Thank you. I'm working on an idea for a paddle shifter, it might get interesting.

@@mykle196 I hope you use it. A paddle setup sounds interesting. The term de-bounce comes to mind to avoid a downshifting a few at a time.. Happy New Year

@@victorthecarguy3126 You are way ahead of me lol. But that's the direction I'm going. Happy New Year to you as well. Thank you.

Thanks Duane, it really does just boil down to that. Need to save the ones that can be saved.

The normal gear selector will be the same for P, R, and N. D will put it in forward mode and the switch will choose from there.

@ ok I understand

Ha, easier he says, the converter lockup on a relay part is kicking my butt, I can't find a way to make it latch with the load being before the relay. The rotary switch for gear selection is cake though.

@ once you figure it out it’s gonna be awesome.Less switches is always better. Anyways, this is over my head.😂

Thanks JD

Thanks. It was a good day. Saw you've started on the rear quarter on your Firebird, you're making progress there, looking good.

True. Thanks JD

It's a big project for sure. Just keep chipping away at it. I wouldn't set a timeline, just get it done when you get it done.

@@barefootpedaldude7755 Good advice for sure. Thanks.

The more time that passes the more I appreciate all of the 60's and early 70's stuff.

Honestly I’d fix the roof clear coat it drive it with the patina

@@philh9238 I like the concept, but that's a LOT of patina. LOL

Thanks. Gotta admit I'm a little nervous, it will be a big job for my first time fiber glassing, but what the heck, I'm going for it.

Thanks. I'm thinking of going with a summit 1301

Nice! I wish this sight was more interactive. I'd love to see pics of that.

Thanks. Your channel looks really interesting. I subbed and will be checking it out.

@@mykle196 Thank you so much for saying that. That really means a lot to me. Please feel free to share the link and Happy Thanksgiving!

True, good point. Easier to replace tires than it is transmissions.

@@mykle196 Yeah let them spin a little. Easier on everything.

You deserve the shout out. It's hard to see any old car with any cool factor end up at the scrap yard.

@ I think what you’re doing with the roof might actually work. I’m committed to this one. I want to see the end product.

Thanks JD. Appreciate it.

Thanks. We will find out I guess.

LOL, I know right. It feels like it has to happen. But man, that's gonna pull on a thread that keeps unraveling. Looking forward to your next update on your firebird.

It's a dual action sander from harbor freight.

Thanks JD

I honestly don't know yet. A few options.. 1. Do nothing, I bought it as a parts car, just keep it that way. 2. Do it right, put a new roof on it. It really needs a new quarter also and is missing the front bumper, grill is cracked etc Probably more $ than it would be worth. 3. Fiberglass it where the vinyl top used to be. If the fiberglass depth is in the ballpark of what the vinyl was the trim will hide it 4. Fiberglass but with a top layer of carbon fiber 5. Kevlar it instead of fiberglass, just seems like it would be cool to say it had a Kevlar roof and I happen to have a bunch of it I picked up for free, but it's in 7" wide rolls, and is pretty thick so would be harder to work with than fiberglass. I'm open to ideas / opinions.

Opgi has Buick stuff here in CALIFORNIA SoCal. They are in Seal Beach ​@@mykle196

Bauer drum sander with stripping drum takes care of that in no time.

Thanks JD. That's a good new video on your channel. Looking good.

@@mykle196 I’ve just never seen anyone do this and I actually work is this a normal thing or did you come up with it?

@@JDFirebird I didn't come up with the idea, just a simpler and cheaper version made with stuff that's easy to get.

Thank you Allen, I appreciate you saying that.

LOL, it would have helped me too, that's why I had to do the follow up. You're putting in work on that Firebird, it's fun following along.

@@mykle196 thanks man I’m gonna try some full length videos. I’ll see if those get any attention.

@@JDFirebird Looking forward to checking them out. I'm gonna try a short.

Thanks JD

Thanks JD, appreciate it. And anyone who reads this should check out JD's channel it's entertaining and informative.

I didn't even know those existed until about a month ago. Mechanic at work showed me his. I need one.

Yes it's a custom, the green one in the garage is a plain jane one with 350 badges. Kid down the block from me had one when we were in school, I always liked it so when i saw these I went for it.

@@mykle196 I paid $150 for it at a poker game. Good old car.

@@johnchaffin5494 LOL Nice! The good old days. I sold my Challenger when I joined the Army for $500. Wish I had that back.

​@mykle196 Mom had a 70 Challenger new here in CALIFORNIA, SoCal. We both have Challenger's now. Not very great on gas here in SoCal at 13 city and around 15 freeways.

It's kind of a fun thing to give a try. Thanks for watching

Good job!!! What type of primer are you using? You may want to use epoxy primer if that thing is sitting outside.

@@JDFirebird It is outside for now, but I have a cover on it when I'm not working on it. I know I'm going to get criticized, but I'm using rustoleum etching primer on the first layer. Availability was the main thing, the auto parts stores didn't have any etching in stock, the price was a bonus.

@@JDFirebird Checked out your channel. Nice combination of funny and informative.

@@mykle196 the self etching will be just fine. The acid in the paint will help with any missed rust. cool vids i love seeing the old school style videos hard to find anymore. Everything is big production fake videos

Thank you.

Checked out your channel JD. Nice combination of humor and information.

@@mykle196 thank you! i try to be different from everyone else

Check out weaponsguild. There is a build thread on this that is 8 or 9 pages long, from concept, through lots of "I'm stuck" moments to finally what you see. There is also a 2020 contest thread on it that is more of a summary. If you like this build you are gonna love that site.

LMAO. Cold hard facts. Appreciate it.

Thanks. Still having some issues getting a title on this one so not throwing any $ at it yet. But you're probably right, if I do build it a new quarter and roof are probably the way to go.

@@mykle196 Yeah, sometimes it is a hassle trying to get a title,,, I have turned down a lot of good deals because of no title, it can be done, but a lot of work and headaches

Yeah, it's going to be a project for sure
