Ravin has a newby question.

Featured Replies

I have a 74 260 with an 83 L28 engine, triple phh44 mikunis, automatic and air. It's an old man's car and I have it close to running but I need to take it to a mechanic to do a little fine tuning on the mikunis. It's about a five mile trip with a tow bar. My question is: Do I have to drop the drive shaft for this distance? I'll be back with more questions later.

You risk damage to the transmission towing it....BUT if you're only going five miles and you don't go over 20-25 MPH, it'll probably handle that.

Much luck,

Chris

I though I read somewhere that the towing speed for autos was even less than 20 mph and only for a few as in 2-3 miles but I can;t find that info now.

Whatever you do, don't forget to take it out of park......:stupid:
