Yes it’s sad. Disgusting actually

Not sure if everyone heard about the 3 slain officers and 2 critically injured yesterday in York County. My daughter is an officer at this department and fortunately is ok. It really hit close to home. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Please pass it along. https://gofund.me/e5a3bb134

Gave her a bath. Ready to reapply the rubber to the quarters….

Check the distributor for the noise, it rotates. Vacuum leak at the base of the carburetor. also, I’ve had great success locating noises with one of them stethoscopes https://a.co/d/eS0t4tT the funnel looking part is used to pick up noises like you have

The last video it gets pretty loud when you hold the camera at the front of the carb. Possibly a vacuum leak? did you check the distributor?

I do not recall the pressure for tuned port.

Flow of the tbi heads nothing worth talking about. If you look down the runners, you will see the casting has, let’s call it a “swirl generator “ in it that takes up a tone of space and is a huge obstruction as far as airflow goes. the tbi unit is only rated at ~500 cfm. You have them big injectors hanging in the way. as far as fuel delivery, you can switch over to a carburetor and keep the stock tank and pump. Just put a fuel pressure regulator before the carb. The tbi system only uses 15 psi or so if I recall correctly (the pump can generate around 45psi) . The steel lines can be rebent or replaced or spliced the same way you do brake lines with the exception the ends that connect to the fuel filter. Also, not all of the tbi engines have the hole drilled for a fuel pump push rod but that shouldn’t matter if you use the in tank pump. if you keep the tbi heads, the center bolts on each side are at a different angle than the classic small block so you need an intake for tbi heads. these engines were the first to be injected and meet emissions. They were meant to be fuel efficient and produce torque. And they failed at both lol.

The electric only version did as cbolt stated. As soon as the transmission shifted into 4th gear, the converter would lock up. It was a simple power into the switch that closed to send power to the lock up solenoid when it picked up 4th gear pressure in the valve body. Many people would put a switch in the circuit so they could manually lock the converter

I ve massaged mine with an air hammer. Many of the aftermarket pumps don’t fit…

I “built” my 8.2. axles, carrier, c clip eliminators and gears, I could have bought a moser muscle pack and been done…

Dtret got it. drill the heads. use the head gasket as a template. if you ever decide to use the heads on a block without steam holes, just slap them on. No problem

IMHO, the 700r4 is not the best choice if it’s just a stock rebuild. If the transmission shop knows what they are doing it can be done. Your driving style at your power level will have a huge impact on this as well. You could always go with a well built 200r4. They can be built much stronger and are much better than the 700 as far as gears for the speedometer, I’ll look in my notes for the guy I use when I get to my shop today. I also think tci has the information on their website, some sort of calculator. gears in the rear will depend on the transmission and what your using the car for. So decide on that after you pick a transmission

I would remove the sensor that is showing high. Put in a mechanical gauge and see what happens the sensor itself could be faulty
