    700R4 went out while towing. Culprit?

    Why does the Raybestos site indicate that z pack "rzp-001" is for 1988+, but resellers list it as 1982+? Also, what constitutes a decent shift kit? Finally, would it be more economical to piece out the rebuild or to just get a kit (e.g., "Monster")? After all, if I'm tearing into the trans...

    700R4 went out while towing. Culprit?

    Stock tire size I think—can't remember off the top of my head and can't look 'cause I'm at work. Not sure about the final (OD) radio either. I agree that if it's got a custom high OD ratio, that could add to the issue.

    700R4 went out while towing. Culprit?

    LOL! Yes. Yes I have. There's the stock transmission lines running to and from the radiator. Because of the all the tweaks I had to make, it's got a somewhat upgraded cooling system (4-core rad, upgraded fan, etc.). I was planning to add an aftermarket trans cooler though.

    700R4 went out while towing. Culprit?

    I'm using the q-jet, bracket, etc. I believe it was all adjusted "correctly" but if this failure is indicative of an incorrectly installed cable then please let me know. That being said, it is a franken-truck so...yeah. And while the carb is kind-of stock (the stock carb was that weird m4med...

    700R4 went out while towing. Culprit?

    I'd like some help identifying three likely culprit (besides myself) to my transmission going out. I need more information before I make decisions about fixing/upgrading it. Here are the circumstances: It's an '85 C10 into which I've put a 400 SBC. I believe it was a stock 700R4. I was towing a...

    Something strange is afoot with my 700R4...

    Background story: I have a 1985 C10 Scottsdale P/U that I just finished equipping with a 400 SBC from a 1975 (or 76?) Caprice Classic Convertable. The original 305 hydro-locked after...yadda, yadda, yadda...long embarrassing story. Anyway, while putting in the 400 (it's a SBC; how hard could it...

    Thanks everyone! I'll post some photos this weekend. For better or worse, I'll err on the side of asking too many questions than too few.

    Introduction and Questions of Etiquette

    First off, I've been replacing the hydro-locked 305 in a 1985 C10 with a 400 from a 1975 Caprice Classic Convertible (maybe '76?). I'm in the process of cleaning all the external parts and will soon drop the new engine in. I was a lurker here for a while and figured I'd officially join. I have...
