You want the ported vacuum to go to the dizzy for the vac advance. Ported meaning, at idle it shoud not be pulling vacuum. The instant you come off idle is should have vacuum. Trans gets manifold vacuum. It can go to the intake manifold of all time vacuum from the carb. Either one is find for...

You buy the converter to match the trans. T350 and T400 use the same converters. How about this idea? Since you got a 2500 for the Monza and didn't get 2500 likley due to the lightweight, why don't you use the 2500 out of the Monza in the truck and should get the 2500 as advertised and get a...

I'll get it done. Its just been the problems of getting a good case or it would have been done already. I think we got a good one now, so after tommorow I should be able to get to it. OTS will be open Tuesday I'd think so I can get the bands and spiral snap ring. After that I have all I need...

I did clean up some parts Christmas morning and got some prep work done, but that was about it, didn't make any real progress to speak of. Just about got the solvent bath ready to go.

I got your text. No, haven't had a chance to hit it yet. OTS was closed Christmas Eve, so I didn't get the bands or spiral snap ring. Then went to see my dad Christmas evening. Today, getting ready for my son to be here, then tomorrow I drive to Ft Worth pick him up, and about the time I get...

Big thing to remember on stall, especially on a big block since they don't like high rpms, is to not get to high of stall, so that you don't have to wind the motor up so tight, that when you shift to 2nd gear, your RPM's drop below your power band range then you have to make up ground before you...

I think I'd go with a 2500 or 3000 stall. 2 big reasons. #1 the weight of the truck, you're going to get some stall right there alone, or at least going to get actual stall on whatever you get. Where as sometimes you get a 3000 stall and if a light car you only get 2700 or so, but the truck...

I got the case all stipped down. This came apart nicely. It had been rebuilt before. I noticed it had Raysbestos clutches in it, and those aren't factory, so I know it had been gone thru. Bands must not have been replaced though. They look worn and burnt a bit. Everything else looked good. The...

Probably after Noon o Clock would be good. I am supposed to have some guys come pick up those printers out of my shop between 10am and Noon. Hopefully they'll be gone by Noon. Then I need to get out to my dads in the afternoon to stock his firewood if he needs it, feed his dogs, and maybe take...

No, its shot. I loaded the motor into the bed of my truck with a forklift, then put the engine hoist behind it. Got to my bro's and the 350 engine is just a long block without intake etc. It just lightened the truck a bit cuz I see the truck lift up a bit, but it woudln't even lift it off the...

Thanks Allen, yeah mega going on, and several projects lined up after yours too. Falling way behind. But yours is on the bench and partially tore apart, so nothing else is getting done until yours is, since I won't open up more than one model at a time on bench and get parts mixed up. After your...

Don't feel so bad 66Nova, I go to the other job and say I have 3 tranny jobs lined up, and you oughta hear all the hell I get with a comment line that. I actually wish it were those kind of tranny jobs. I sure wouldn't have to be building transmisisons if I was skilled enough to add hooters and...

I'll be working on it all I can. Just getting home tonight, 1am after working all day, then gonig to my bro's to pull a motor. Then I remembered you said my hoist don't work. So we have to rent a hoist in the morning and I work tommorow afternoon. Just tied up trying to get him some...

Craiglist that dude. Looks like a $50 hood to me. Very very common problem for them to fold, so they are always beeing looked for. If one guy won't give you $50 for it, another will. Or settle for a quick $40 offer, but I think you'll get your $50 for it. Fits 73-80 Chevy and GMC. Sounds to...

Hey, I hope to Allen. I know its gonna be a great one now. Things happen for a reason, and you are right, with the combo of advantages from both cores, you're gonna have the best of all features in this one. The modern benefits along with the old benefits that GM changed to save money and made...

ANd if you get one, better keep it locked up tight. They are easily and commonly stolen around here.

Nope, thats why Tow dollys were invented. Also noway to pull a driveshaft on a FWD car, so you must get the front wheels off the ground to tow without doing damage to the auto trans. If manual trans, or 4x4 with transfer case in Neutral, you're fine to tow. But auto transmissions don't have a...

You oughta be able to get a quick $50 out of that hood even if it has a couple dings in it. Maybe even more if you wanted to sit on it for a bit and lower the price as necessary if its not selling. I don't know if you can or not. I bought this thing close to 25 years ago brand new and have...

Those hoods for the 73-80 model trucks are known for bending and folding in half. If its not folded yet, you might get a good price out of it for a used hood. That won't fit any of my 81-86 projects since in 81 they went to a 2 piece hood and cowl, where the 80 and earlier the hood is part of...

Cool !!! I bought another Square Body a couple weeks ago. 85 GMC K1500. Has a Goodwrench Crate 350 motor in it with less than 10K mles on it. A 700r4 (NO 3rd & 4th) 3.73 fromt and rear axle ratios. The guy had put an Eddy Performer EPS intake on it, an Eddy Carb, headers and new exhaust. 2 weeks...

I didn't even see your above post, but as explained, all my 400 cores are BPO bellhousings. No Chebby. But anyway, I got that other funky azz trans all boxed up in parts, the rebuild table cleaned off tonight. I also decided to go ahead and move the new core to the table, remove the pan and take...

I could sure use it now, but I don't like getting paid til I'm done, so go ahead and pay a bill. We can settle up when you pick it up.

I still got the 2 bands, the spiral snap ring and the shift kit to get. The parts have not showed up yet either. Still hoping for today, but its no rush now since my guys at the trans shop I used to take cases to get cleaned, they are no longer there and they no longer build transmssions there...

Hey Allen, just an update. You remember that servo pin that was stuck in the case for the rear band??? I finally got it out today just before I left the house. I ended up cutting the band out of the case, then hammering the pin all the way thru into the case. You should have seen that thing. It...

I know I have to many projects in the works at the moment. Way to many things going on and burning candles at ends I didn't know they had. Yours is on the priority list though. Its in the way now, and I have a complete trans ready for rebuild sitting on the bench now too, and I don't wanna tear...
