PLEASE NOTE: we occasionally close our eBay Store the first 7 calendar days of the month to prepare Torqueflite parts for sale, prepare merchandise, restock and perform maintenance. You will still be able to contact us during the closure via eBay’s messaging system or via e-mail to us. Thanks, Pat


If you don’t see a Torqueflite part you need on our eBay Store, contact us with questions as we stock virtually all parts, particularly for the 1960-1965 types.


This bolt-on valve body sub-assembly enables “part-throttle kickdown” (passing gear, DRIVE back to SECOND) without having to depress the gas pedal all the way to the floor; 3-2 kickdown will occur at aprox. ¾ throttle (instead of full-throttle). There is no effect on 2-1 kickdown. Nice feature to have particularly with multiple-carburetor applications, i.e. Six-Packs, dual four barrels, etc. as it allows kickdown (to second gear) without fully opening the carburetors. Chrysler used 2 types of part-throttle valve bodies; this is the more universal type and will mate to any 1967 or later valve body which has the fluid feed passage for this accessory (most 1967 with upper casting number 2538956, 1968 upper casting number 2801856 and 1969-1970 upper casting number 2892348). If you are unsure whether your 1967 valve body has the necessary fluid passage, e-mail us for a picture to I.D. the presence of the passage; eBay's new policy restricts e-mail addresses between buyers and sellers; contact us for technical information or pictures by substituting the "@" symbol for the "at" in the following: tflitepatty"at"comcast.net. A special button-head screw is supplied to address clearance issues when installing on the 1960-1970 valve bodies or later model “simple” style of valve body; also included is installation information. This can also be installed on 1960-1965 valve bodies by mating a late 1966-1968 valve body upper half to a cable-shift 1960-1965 transfer plate (lower half) to effect the part-throttle kickdown on a 1960-1965 cable-shift unit. Shipping via Priority Mail is $ 7.55; we ship purchases twice weekly, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Contact us for shipping costs to foreign countries. We also carry most Torqueflite 727 & 904 “soft” parts in “open stock”, available by the piece (gaskets, seals, bushings, ‘O’ rings, clutch discs, steel plates, lip seals, bands, thrust washers, filters, metal sealing rings, etc.) or in “sub-kits” for single-function repair; e-mail us with your needs or requests. See a selection of other Mopar parts at our eBay store site: T’Flite Patty’s Shop Mart. Prefer PayPal; contact us if you experience difficulty signing up with PayPal.                     

RETURNS: new or used parts received back from purchaser must be in “as-originally-shipped” condition, having not been installed, modified, damaged or changed from original configuration in any way. Purchaser is responsible for insurance coverage for any damage occurring during transit either direction. Refund will be made in the same form as original payment within 7 days after we receive the returned parts.

Cross-country in a Corvette Stingray: Day Two

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Day two of our cross-country Corvette run is in the books and the new Stingray continues to impress. We're still realizing solid fuel-economy -- mid-20s to low 30s -- and the car is among the most comfortable road-trippers we've spent serious seat time in.
