-
yes you can inter change 71 and 72 extensions and other front end parts but it requires modification many never done it tho
-
Funny i have all the steel to finish my chevelle floors but what has it done the past 5 years ummm sit

-
You cant put 1971 fender extensions on a 70 core support 70 is all on its own
-

Well if the fuel bowls leak then it will be hard to start because it will have to pump gas out of the tank till the bowls fill back up,and i don't think you have a q-jet if it has fuel bowls,if its off a 74 vett you have the Have the Holley quadrajet replacement carb its the Holley version of the quadrajet i have one of them and there easy to tune carbs there is no float adjustment there pre set its pretty much jets and A/F screws witch are easy to adjust if you have a vacuum gauge

My body guy made them fit perfectly on my 70 Monte

oh wow i had a brain fart there shift cable not kick down my bad no i feel stupid lol
-
A TH400 actually has an electric switch for the kickdown. It is sometimes mounted on the carb linkage (in several different places) or can be mounted under the gas pedal (most common)
The modulator controls shift points on the 400 til WOT then the detent system takes over and actuates the electric kickdown.
The reason for this is because there isn't enough vacuum at WOT to operate the heavier 400 components.
WOT shifts without the kickdown hooked up will cause the clutches to slip and they will wear out before you want them to.
If I remember right there are aftermarket kits that replace the GM electric switch.

You could unhook the hose at the booster and put a big vacuum cap on it and hop in it fire it up and put it in drive and hold the brake if the problem is one its the booster
-
try a gauge a different gauge like a under hood one with a small lead maybe.
-
Is it loud or grinding
-
Ya sounds like a weak starter or bad connections on the starter
-
you can tell with out taking the apart 8.5s have the ears and the 8.2s don't, its pretty cut and run
-
the 8.5 10 bolt will have 2 ears on the bottom of the center section the 8.2 is rounded
-
Leaving the cable off or unhooked won't do any damage to a th-350. It only controlls the 3 to 2 kickdown.
Now on trannys that uses a TV (throttle valve) cable like the 700R4 and 200 4R, the cable controlls line pressure and kickdown, so it MUST be hooked up and adjusted right
You will just have to manually downshift it i dont run the kick down on my th350 but my motor is a well built 383 and i like to manually shift a lot
-
You can try to retorque and use sealer and it may work but the question is how long will it work, retorqueing and sealer are a short term fix to a long term problem id plan on doing head gaskets soon
-
Are you running SYNTHETIC oil?
It takes a long time for rings to seat it took my chevelle at least 500 miles to seat the moly rings,Cast rings should seat faster then moly rings
-
I run them same springs (z28 springs) and my cam is the comp 268h with.454/.454 lift and the cam calls for 110-115 and the Z28 springs 110# @1.700" so you may need a bit more seat pressure
-
More metal form china lol
-
What kind of car is it i can look out back at work to see if there's any cars with OK looking axles the set up your car has looks to be the same as the 1980-1987 buick regals and Rivieras
-
If i was you i would look around the junk yards for a 8.5 10 bolt posi rear end all you need is a posi unit out of it then you can pull out the summit catalog and ordered a ring gear kit
This will work for you
