HP books Powerglide Handbook

Just picked up the above book tonight. Anybody have it?,comments?

Looks like a good book.

I'm not sure if that's the same one JW sells, but, I think it is. Pretty well covers it, in my opinion. Money well spent.

everytime i try to go to the book store and find it ...... its never in stock

Hey Al after you read let me know if it is good. I have been thinking adout getting it.

IT IS!!
I cant put it down!

I had a little hard time myself finding it Nick.
Go www.barnes&noble.com Go to the search, and type HP automotive books.then narrow it down to powerglide handbook. You can search all their branches and order it. Norm is 4 days. While serching, check affilated vendors that are on the website. Their inventory is listed also. One in my state had it, but I didnt want to bother with shipping. (CHEAP-AZZ).

Also, the author carl munros shop www.tsr-racing.com has it in stock.

cool deal ill have to go over the hill and go pick one up.

Yeah, just call your nearest store and order it. That way, no shipping charges.

To make it easier on your bookstore.Just give them the ISBN #978-1-55788-355-1

Regards.
Al

or just go to JW trans sight and order one they got the rights from TSR. it is a great book....



Randy

yep thats the one Randy told me to get months ago ......... i did try looking for one Randy

Bruno it walks you thru and explains every aspect of a Power Glide. and gives you trouble shooting tips... very handy...


Randy

Yeh, Al....That's the book I had. I went online and looked at the cover.....Yup. It's the one I loaned to a Chevy buddy. I don't have it anymore.

I got that one and the JW one and a DVD from Ideal productions "High Performance Powerglide" The Hp and the DVD have allot of info. I ordered both On-line

thxs guys i need to order one

Summit and Jegs have them in stock, it is a very detailed book. I'm sure you can buy it straight from Carl thru his transmission business also. Carl Monroe is great to do business with, I had a problem with my 1.80 straight cut planetary set, and he shipped me another new set overnight air, before I even sent back the bad one.

Good book i was up to 1am reading it good info.

i ordered The High Performance Big Block from Ideal Productions and it was very helpful so i would think the powerglide would be to he goes step by step in the dvd

I read it every time I'm on the hopper...

Just ordered one... now I'll be diving into another new adventure, hopefully I can do this .
Yesterday I picked up a PG for $75. It came out of a 67 283 Chevelle.
Coug I'll probly take you up on your offer too .

Has anyone used this book to build their own "glide". I ordered the book and my wife is sending it over here to me. I'll read it in my down time. I have never done an automatic transmission, but what the hell, I can fix a helicopter, right. OK, OK, only sometimes I can fix these darn helicopters.

Being realistic, is the book that detailed, can anyone that is somewhat competent do this? It would save me a bunch of $$$ to do it myself.

Kevin it is pretty detailed, and yes you can do it. I have one of the originals before TSR sold it to JW


Randy

Hey Coug,
Did you build your own powerglide?

yes mine any many more.... when you build a Glide I think it is only 75 pieces in it that you use for a race Trans.....
