727 'late-shifting', MEK, and Willy's finds

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

Bob,

        I hate to be the nay-sayer, but the kickdown may need to be adjusted.  
If the transmission came out, then for sure the kick-down is adjusted 
differently.  You can make them shift whever you want, but, often it depends on 
throttle setting.  Try playing with the length of the kickdown, and your 
'late-shifting' will most likely subside.

Subject: 727 shift points

When should a 727 shift?

I just had mine rebuilt and it shifts later than before,
but it still seems early to me:

1-2 shift      2800 RPM
2-3 shift      3100 RPM

The IHC manual gives the shift points in MPH; that's
useless info given my 4.56:1 gears & 33" tires.

        Steve, 

        Were they talking about MEK, Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone?  Last I remember I 
used some sort of Gel type paint remover, and it pulled labels off and scraped 
clean off with a putty knife.

Be careful trying to remove glue residue with methylene chloride.  That 
is the main ingredient in the best paint removers.

        Willy,

        Let us know about these trucks!  I would really REALLY like to get a 
WagonMaster!  Let us know about the Midas also.  BTW, I know Midas did the 
Traveler, with the sun roof, and upholstery everywhere, but what did they do 
inside a SSII with basically nothing left to upholster?  Thanks for any info.  I
think the Terra seat doesn't have the dents for the fenders right?  Could you 
put the Terra seat in as a third, BEHIND, the second seat, thus seating for 8 in
a Scout II.  Hmmm, GVW now comes into play.

        Tom Harais, needs the Terra/Traveler rear seat, but will prolly have to 
go to the RMIHR next year to get it!

Subject: SS II Midas

I have located a 1979 SS II Midas all original w/ restored paint, new =
soft top/door skins, 345.
I plan on looking at it this afternoon.
The owner claims its one of four remaining, anyone know if that's right?
He is asking $7500.00 but will negotiate (needs a family car) he also has =
a Wagon Master and some other IHC which may or may not be for sale.
I will post my findings if anyone is interested.

PS. Whoever e-mailed me at home about the Terra Seat, it will not fit in =
a 80 or 800. Lost your original message, sorry
