What does spring loaded secondaries on AVS do?

“The Thunder Series AVS carburetors’ spring-loaded secondaries can be adjusted to compensate for having the carburetor mounted on a heavier or a lighter vehicle,” Smith said. “The secondaries can act like a timing feature to open up later to help acceleration.”

How is the Ford AOD different from other overdrive transmissions?

The Ford AOD is different from most automatic overdrive transmissions because it does not have a locking torque converter. Instead, it has a locking overdrive unit driven by the smaller secondary input shaft within the main input shaft.

What was the overdrive gear on a 4 speed transmission?

The Overdrive four speed was a regular A-833 with an overdriven gear set installed in place of the regular third gear. The shift lever on the side cover was flipped over to “fool” the shifter into shifting from second to fourth and then back into third, which was the overdrive gear.

Why are quick strut assemblies made from coil springs?

The installation procedure also becomes safer and easier because now the coil spring does not have to be compressed, which requires a special fixture. The strut assembly is made from high-quality materials to meet or exceed OE performance. For instance, coils springs used in Quick Struts are precisely calibrated to ensure correct ride height.

Where is the overdrive gear on a slant six transmission?

The shift lever on the side cover was flipped over to “fool” the shifter into shifting from second to fourth and then back into third, which was the overdrive gear. The overdrive gear is very small and as a result, the mainshaft journal and splined hub is smaller.

What’s the gear ratio on a NV4500 overdrive transmission?

In overdrive transmissions such as the NV4500, there is an extra gear (fifth) which drives the output shaft faster than the input. In fifth gear (overdrive) the NV4500 has a ratio of 0.73 to 1, that is, for a 0.73 revolution of the input shaft the output shaft will rotate one full turn.
