Part #17999 3/31/04 Page #6
STEP #25: Remove all kickdown linkage from carburetor down to the transmission.
STEP #26: Connect a #16 wire to the #17389 wire snap plug connector and connect it to
case connector. Run the other end of the wire to delay box or direct to a quality
momentary switch such as the Turbo Action #00774 switch on a special stretch
cord for mounting on the steering wheel. Now run a 12 Volt supply to the switch.
Check at transmission to be sure you have 12 Volts. NOTE: Sometimes you cannot
hear solenoid so check with a test light or volt meter. (Fig. #1A)
STEP #27: Refill transmission with a good type “F” ATF or Dexron Mercon fluid. It will usually
take about 5 quarts of oil. DO NOT OVERFILL! Warm transmission up, select all
gears, and then recheck oil level. Always check level of transmission fluid when
in neutral, but put parking brake on as a safety measure or have someone hold
foot brake while checking. Shift Pattern is PRN123.
STEP #28: In an area where you can safely check Tranz Brake, apply switch while in low
gear.
When switch is applied, car should not move at any RPM.
CAUTION: When vehicle is staged and Tranz Brake applied, always be alert and ready
in case the brake should release accidentally.
Staging Procedures and Other Information:
Staging can be done many ways. You can bump in with Tranz Brake Switch or with foot brake.
If foot brake is used, we find coming in at about 1800-2000 RPM works best, but each individual
and race car is different so you be the judge. It is suggested that you use your brake at 3000-
3500 RPM for maximum life of your drive train. However, our valve body has been tested to
6200 RPM behind a 440 cu.in. engine. The choice is yours. Be sure your converter is tranz
brake ready.
CAUTION: First gear dry burnouts with or without tranz brake should be A
VOIDED
! Light
chirps may be okay, but you still are playing a risky game with a Torqueflite. We
suggest burning the tires to the staging line in high gear, pre-stage, clean out
engine and then stage as instructed above.
Do Not neutral car in the traps.
For your own safety and others be sure to run a transmission blanket or transmission shield
per IHRA and NHRA rules.
