Auto Trans for 292 ?
OK Here is what I found out.
A company makes a AOD to Y adapter. Possibly named Croan. Don't know yet if it is a car or truck mount.
I was confusing the AOD with the AODE which requires computer controls.
THe AOD requires throttle cable adjustment but it is not too difficult.
I received this information from PegLegRice and it is very dependable. He has a AOD in a Ranger that ran 12.22 in the 1/4 so that should dispell any breakage concerns.

Thanks Darkman.
Throttle cable adjustment. The truck has a rod from the gas pedal that pushes on another rod I had to make for the 4bbl edelbrock carb. There is no throttle cable in this old truck. Actually made the second rod out of a hanging file folder piece. It was the right length and had holes in each end. I will try to search for croan. If you find out please let me know.
Thanks

New stuff is cable Andy, not linkage rods. And it requires very careful adjustment or you WILL fry the tranny. Same holds with the 700R4.
Your tranny guy will set it up Im sure; once set leave it alone.
I'll be waiting for a fullblown tech post on the conversion! Ive got a 312 planned for another project and was going to use the C4 but an AOD will be a great help with a 3.50 9" on the Interstates.
Ask your tranny guy what he thinks about putting the AOD on a flathead.
