    '63 Chevy step side

    I hope you realize how wicked of a drive that's going to be in the that truck with a 454/400. And you better be looking for a rear end upgrade. If thats the rear end I am thinking of, I used to shatter a set of spiders about once a month with a modified 350/350. Then I put spacers in to tighten...

    '63 Chevy step side

    And bench bleeding only bleeds the master for a swap, you'd still have to bleed the wheels. What you might need for those bleeders if not late and you have stripped them, is an offset brake bleeder wrench that is boxed with a 6 pt instead of 12 pt. They work great for those old stuck bleeders...

    '63 Chevy step side

    Uhhh, I think not. If I understand this process right, you are sucking air back into the system from the bleeders. I'd do it the good old fashioned right way or not at all. This is brakes, not a performance tune where you try something, and go around the block and the come back and try something...

    '63 Chevy step side

    Yes, you do, just like any other brake system. Start at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder and work your way to the master. So, right rear, left rear, then right front, then left front. DONE !!! You oughta consder an upgrade to a dual master someday. Never know when your life might...

    Oil Filter Study

    I don't think anyone was consdering installing a USED filter on their vehicle. I think his intent was to show what the filter did and didn't do while it was installed. As far as these studies go, Anyone and everyone has cut open unsued filters. I would like to see someone and more of ones cut...

    Automatic Transmission - 88 C1500

    And what good is a 350 that slips gonna do you? Are you putting it in the same truck to get it rolling??? I wouldn't do it. The cost of driveline mods and getting the 350 rebuilt, just get the 700r4 rebuilt and be about the same or at least close to the same money. But, I thought you bought this...

    Automatic Transmission - 88 C1500

    I wish I was closer, I'd buy that core off of you. Keep in mind, the 88-92 cores are more preffered. Doesn't mean they are worth any more money, but it just means you are likely to sell it. Noone that knows transmisisons wants to buy 82-86 700r4 cores. I get those for free and don't even use...

    Automatic Transmission - 88 C1500

    yeah, tough to follow. An automatic will never go into gear with engine off. It won't do a thing cuz the front pump is not turning to pump pressure, so that is normal. With engine running if its not going into gear, then several things can be wrong. Like bad pump, direct clutch pack wore out...

    Oil Filter Study

    I'm thinking you might think a little differant if you used say a Mobil 1 or other better quality filter, then cut it open after a 3000 mile oil change and see what you trapped. Then see what a Fram traps after 3000 miles. I personally like to do oil changes at 5000 on conventional oil, and...

    Oil Filter Study

    Motorcraft is in there, and why I use Motorcraft now. The Motorcraft is the same Filter as the Purolater One Filter but isntead of the $8-$10 pricetag, its $3.50- $4, so I use Motorcraft Filters. Now the Ford nuts can get a nut off that I use a Motorcraft product on my Chevrolets. Of Course I...

    '63 Chevy step side

    You've lost me on contraction??? Women have those when giving birth, but never heard of one on a truck? One way to know for sure, is put a volt meter on your HEI hot wire. Start the truck and see what the voltage is while cranking, and after it has started and running with key in Run position.

    '63 Chevy step side

    2 things. #1, if you still have the ballast restistor hooked up to that truck, then you likely only have 6 volts to the coil WHEN RUNNING. Do not check it with key on. Of course you will have 12 volts then. Points igniton back in the day, would get 12volt to the dizzy while motor off and while...

    '68 TH400-need help

    FINALLY DONE !!! Woo Hoo its finally done and Joe has it now. How many weeks ago was it this got started and should have been a 2 day deal? A day to strip it and get it to the machine shop for cleaning, then next day pick it up from the machine shop and assemble. Between bad cores and damaged...

    '68 TH400-need help

    Hey 63 Joe, drag your feet coming over in the morning. Another problem. The manual valve linkage that goes to the outside of the case to connect to your shfiter, that piece is bent. I noticed it when you brought it over, and thought it was just the bracket. Nope, its the whole rod. So I went to...

    Truck doesn't want to shift from 1st to 2nd

    The MAF sensor should not have a thing to do with the transmission. Trans will read sensors like crank position for RPM, TPS for throttle position if you are on it, or just cruising and things of that nature only to decide shift points. The ECM for a transmission only takes place of things like...

    Truck doesn't want to shift from 1st to 2nd

    Yes, line pressure. But now that you mention you told them to make it shift hard and fast, I'd be even more certain the problem is in the tune. Now it can also be that the line pressure is not high enough to perform the tune they installed. Whats more important than having a hard fast shift, is...

    Truck doesn't want to shift from 1st to 2nd

    Yes, the corvette servos are for 4L60-E's and 700r4. At 4600 rpm, you shouldn't be starving for pump pressure, although its still not a bad idea to increase the pressure, not so much for the added horsepower but for the added torque. I agree, lets see what the tuner boys have to say, then go...

    Truck doesn't want to shift from 1st to 2nd

    For B454, What RPM is this happening? What is the condition of the trans as far as age and mileage. You mentioned you just spend your savings building this thing, are you reffering to the transmisison, the motor of the truck itself? Have any mods at all been done to the trans, like a Corvette...

    Truck doesn't want to shift from 1st to 2nd

    So what makes you think the transmission is bad Red??? I won't disagree with what is happening, but that wouldn't mean the trans needs an overhaul. We haven't been given much info to go on here so any suggestion is just based on an assumption. I'll also for certain agree, don't drive it creating...

    Truck doesn't want to shift from 1st to 2nd

    Has it ever worked properly since the tune and supercharger added? My first guess would also be a tune tweek since it doesn't have a TV Cable.
