transmission number

[blake at clockworm.com (Blake Irvin)]

sweet - sounds like my kind of engineering.

i'd like to keep this car fairly 80's in the tech department (by  
which i mean not too much electronic crap under the hood) - and i  
also want to find somebody to wrench with when is start tackling the  
big projects (CIS tuning, new transmission that i feel is needed,  
this peloquin/quaife thing) - who all is close to pittsburgh?

i'll buy the beer (and the parts) when the time comes...if you have a  
semi-heated garage it might even be this winter.

and thanks for the advice Dan
