my 302 has a whistle but its caused by the butterflys in the TB... missfire could be a dead plug or a dead wire... maybe a coil... could even be a spark plug tip mashed flat...

I think the johnson rods are worn. I would get a Chiltons and browse for johnson rod repairs, under the "engine" section. The whistling is a dead giveaway.

If you're wondering, a johnson rod is a device that is connected to a gazach via a knibbling pin. Probably what happened was the johnson rod fell from the gazach because the knibbling pin fell out.
It looks something like this...

My opinion . . .

I doubt it was the Johnson Rod. He said nothing about having no second gear in reverse.

Most likely the overdrive poppet under the transmogrifier valve ran out of lube. That's why I'm not fond of the Mod Motors.

That and the left handed threads on the spark plug boots.
