    HELP. 350 abc starter binding.

    Just had to give her some more juice! 120 ML (60 in each) of gasoline manually inserted into the fuel bowl vents got her going. Now I’m working on the fuel blockage I’ve got. Not getting any gas to the carb :/

    HELP. 350 abc starter binding.

    We almost got her running guys! Sorry for the long wait, but I got me some corona I had to take care of. Had to quarantine and I’m just feeling better now. Basically I just pulled off the starter and re checked the clearance (I do have the right bolts for it) I gave the battery a good charge...

    HELP. 350 abc starter binding.

    I’ve tested the battery, it’s at 12 so I think it’s okay. And the starter was bench tested at the auto store. Both the starter and the battery seem to be fine which makes this pretty weird to me.

    Starter Support Bracket

    Does anyone know the size/thread type of the bolt for the starter bracket to engine block on an 88 350? Just realized my bracket is mia and there’s no bolt in the block.

    Time to replace the flexplate

    She’s out! What I mistook for cracks appears to be a little oil splatter. So my flexplate is NOT cracked. I did notice a wiring harnesses was pinched between the engine and trans near the top of the bell housing. I believe the flexplate was hitting that causing the noise I was hearing.

    Transmission removal/install

    Thanks! I’ll make sure to double check this time around. Should be pulling her today.

    Transmission removal/install

    if you're removing the entire unit as whole, is this still relevant? is it possible for the torque converter to become unseated on its own during removal? last time i pulled my th400 out i kept the converter in and just bolted everything right back up.

    Time to replace the flexplate

    Main concern right now is step 1. Last time I did this it was in a level area so I didn’t have to worry about the truck moving when I yanked out the rear driveshaft. Now I’m on a bit of an incline. I’ve got the parking break set and I’m gonna chock the wheels. Feeling confident.

    Time to replace the flexplate

    All set up and ready to go...again. Replaced the flexplate about 30 miles ago but my ******* never torqued the bolts to specs and surprise, it cracked! Starting up again today, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Noise Coming From TC/Flexplate
