Hey guys, I ordered a bunch of stuff from phil at fair born but its been cold and rainy so I haven't gotten around to working on it but I had some questions that I will eventually need answered.
The second question will be my next post regarding rust in the trunk.
I have a 57 hawk 289 with a flight o matic. My dad purchased it about 30 years ago from his uncle but sat in a garage ever since. A few years ago I got it out and in running condition.
The transmission has always started in 1st. From what I read they should start in second. Is it possible that my dad did some tranny work 30 years ago that would change this. Do the 57's always start in first? the shift is very firm clunk so im wondering if I can put it back or do I just have to deal with it.
Thanks
