    Which kit is best for adapting the SM420 to a D18?

    Novak is a board member.
    See if there is an interest in a order he has in the past given a discount for large orders.

    my business partner used Novak's kit. I believe he told me it was a little shorter than Advance Adapters plate.

    I personally used Novak for a SM465 conversion. The company is great to deal with, very knowledgeable and extremely patient with questions. I had a small issue with the adapter and they fixed it immediately.
    Just my opinion but I would definitely use them again.

    I agree with everything Jeff said. I bought their 4L60E/D300 adapter.

    Been using Novak since (here it is) my 1977 Catalogue. I only use AA when Novak doesn't have it.

    Hey Pat, I know where you're at. I spend alot of time down in Carpinertia, let me know if you get over that way. Go with Novak... Not related to trans. adaptors. But about A.A. anyway. I am just about finished with finalizing a complete A.A. Hydr. clutch assembly(disc and pressure plate included) with swing pedals and master cyl. My bitch is for $800 they should have swing pedals with a mount for a brake light switch and their R&D guys should have come up with a master cylinder that was more than a single juice jar. Also hydru. pressure line that wasn't 2' longer than needed and a pedal assembly that "does work" with stock steering. I had to reshape the brake pedal to the left side of the steering column. They are way to far off the mark for the price. Hope you have better luck with after market suppliers than I did. My A.A. experience sucked and it is the last item from them. I don't care how much they apoligize.
