    Carb sprays gas into the air?

    Just a quick question. I'm finally getting back to the carb, I was having issues with the tranny so the carb became less of an issue. I'm running a wire to the electric choke coil. Just wondering what gauge of wire I ought to use?

    TH400 issues

    Perfect Thanks for the info! I guess the modulator is the only more urgent one, I think the kickdown isn't as urgent because I never really need to floor it. Do I need to find where to put the thrust washer back? And I have a port right into the manifold that i can use for the modular do that...

    TH400 issues

    Also other question, The fluid looks great except a small film of darker sludge at the bottom of the pan, is that ok Also while dropping the filter these two pieces fell down, one piece looks like part of an old dipstick, but any idea for the other? also the filter was kinda loose on the bolt...

    TH400 issues

    So I'm changing the fluid and everything today. I found this sensor and the wire connected to it runs towards the torque converter and then is broken. I can't see where it should be going. I also found what looks like a vacuum sensor that doesn't have anything connected to it. Anyone know where...

    TH400 issues

    Yeah I'm wondering about rusty brakes. I did replace the calipers, shoes, and master cylinder for the front and the back ones don't seem too bad because they still turn no problem. I'll want to check the transmission fluid for sure, I saw where it leaked a little bit so I probably need to pull...

    TH400 issues

    So update on my truck. I went out there today, I loosened the bleeders on the front brakes and there was still resistance but with a little bit of rocking a was able to get it to start moving, and after a bit it seemed to have almost no resistance. (Maybe as more fluid leaked out?) So I pulled...

    TH400 issues

    So I don't see any obvious messed up lines. the fluid level is good. I'll climb under the truck to take a better look. Right now it is just in my field. Could I loosen the bleeders and then drive back slowly would that completely release any braking that is happening? obviously before I take it...

    TH400 issues

    Ok. I'll try to do that test. I tried to drive it yesterday just in my field because I don't want to get stuck on the main road with no reverse, but I'm experiencing another issue to. it seems like the front brakes are slightly stuck engaged. The field is mostly matted down grass a little wet...

    TH400 issues

    Sorry for the long delay. The truck was stuck in the mud and without reverse its tougher to get out. I'm going to see if I can test that, the transmission fluid is kinda a darker red. I'm thinking back, before doing some engine work the reverse did work, so a few months ago. The engine wasn't...

    Carb sprays gas into the air?

    I'm still working on getting the electric choke figured out. I can't find the spring or where the spring goes to keep the choke shut when not engaged. But good news! The truck is 100% running on its own (after fixing fuel pump issues, and timing, it been a journey) Today I started it and once I...
