    Formed fuel pump hoses?

    Tried that before I used the brass elbows, worked but played to hard on my OCD. Just hoping to find some specific for my truck. Thanks!

    Formed fuel pump hoses?

    Been looking for the 2 preformed fuel hoses at the fuel pump for my K20. Fuel feed inlet into pump and fuel return from pump back to tank. Seems like an easy thing to find?? Found them for a 79 Vette(see image) but the bends look a little different. Any ideas? I made them using brass elbows to...

    TH 400 won't go into gear after sitting.

    Thanks for the info on the pressure regulator and link! I think you have defiantly hit on the most likely cause of my problem. When I installed the shift kilt the regulator spring was replaced but I didn't remove the valve itself. It stayed up in the bore so I figured leave it be. Guess I...

    TH 400 won't go into gear after sitting.

    Not really a warm up thing. Only takes 1-3 min for the fluid to drop down to the correct level and then slow bump into gear. Does like my first car a 69 Charger when the converter drained back. been told TH 400's don't drain back or at least they have never seen it happen??

    TH 400 won't go into gear after sitting.

    That's a good suggestion, might be leaking down past the seals. Bought it cheap because of the tranny problem guess it's time for a rebuild.

    TH 400 won't go into gear after sitting.

    I used 2 O rings when I changed the filter so that's not it. I also checked the O rigs a second time when thew shift kit was installed. Thanks

    TH 400 won't go into gear after sitting.

    After sitting overnight it won't go into gear at all. No noise or anything. Can take anywhere from 1-3 min to go into gear(engage). Reverse or drive it doesn't matter. Happens too after coming out of the store to go home. This is an every day thing not just once in a while. Longer it sits the...

    Ex full time mechanic of 31 years. Bought a 79 K20 Camper Special about 6 months ago. 5.7 TH 400. Crate motor with a few modest mods. Been dumping big $ into it. Seems to fall apart on a daily basis. I found my new hobby and passion! It runs great but just looks OKish. My kind of truck is...
