    305 wrong cam

    How would I know if the converter is locking up or not? So really the gears would make the combo much better? In your opinion what would be the most cost effective option to replace gears?

    305 wrong cam

    So I am just looking for some suggestions on what can be done cheaply to correct the issue. I have over cammed a 305 and it is dog in the low end. Would it be cheaper to buy rear gears another cam. Im looking for a daily driver not a hotrod so I would prefer not to replace it with a 350 unless...

    grinding

    So I drained and filled it and it seems OK. No grinding or weird noises. I now have a weird issue with the tranny. If I shift it into drive(not overdrive) it will go to 3rd and I can't drive it even though that's how I have driven it for over a year. It has also kinda bucked going from 3rd...

    grinding

    It seems to be just a drops. It doesnt look like it had chunks but the fluid looked like it had glitter in it. Do you know about what the capacity is? I drained all the fluid the other day that was in it. The fluid looked red like its supposed to it just sparkled. I have seen places that say...

    grinding

    So just draining the fluid it looks as though I have a leak from the front output shaft. So im sure it wasn't full of fluid. Also there seem to be metal shavings in the T-case fluid once I drained it. How hard it is to put new seals in the input and output shafts and should I do that before...

    grinding

    Would that make it do that? How many quarts go in? I just drained the fluid and it had a good amount in it. I took the rear output shaft housing off and only had about half a cup of trans fluid come out and only a few drips from the drive shaft when it was pulled out. Im pretty sure it wasnt...

    grinding

    I have an 85 k10 305 700r4 np208. There is a grinding noise under moderate acceleration. If i drive like a grandpa it will shift great and won't grind at all. When its grinding it feels like its hesitating you press the gas amd it just wont go. Any one have any ideas?

    flowtech 51525flt

    Yea I have had some trouble with mine. I have seen some good results and not heard to many bad things about it but I have both pipes on the headers and my drivers side and passengers side exhaust there is about a 6-8 inch height difference.

    So I just bought this exhaust system for my truck and does anybody have any pictures of there system installed? The install is a little confusing as some of the pipes are only slightly different.

    engine running funny

    I made sure I used a piston stop and marked the balancer.

    engine running funny

    it runs with the timing that low just not very well. Any ideas what would make it want way more timing like that? The balancer is confirmed 3-4 degrees off so for 18 my balancer is around 21-22 degrees.

    engine running funny

    Jim:The balancer hasnt slipped it was actually that my marks didnt line up so I am 3-4 degrees more advanced than what my balancer reads. I tore it down and started from scratch to make sure everything was lined up again. It wont overheat if I start it and let it idle. I left it idle without...

    engine running funny

    Another issue that I have had and it just started yesterday is overheating. It will idle fine as soon as it is started up but after it is driven and sits for longer than about 5 minutes it will start to slowly overheat. If the truck is turned off and then restarted it will not do it at idle or...

    engine running funny

    new stock replacement distributor, new plugs, new wires. I messed with it some today and it is still sluggish down low. I tried messing with the idle mixture screws some more. I started with it almost to lean and then i would adjust it some and the idle would raise so I would lower it and did...

    engine running funny

    I wish I had the money for one. I was thinking about getting just a universal O2 sensor and using a multimeter. But it wouldn't be very accurate. Are there any cheap a/f meters like maybe around or under $50? I think all the ones I have seen are at least $150 and up.

    engine running funny

    I have been trying to figure out if it is lean or rich but i really cant tell. Its not puffing black smoke that i can see. But stumbles when its accelerating until about 2000 rpms or so. I just dont know if its a lean stumble or a lean bog. I really dont know where to start with this issue.

    I know the quadrajets are like that but I have the summit 600 cfm Holley clone. I'm not to familiar with how the holleys meter air or fuel.

    engine running funny

    I have another quick question. From what I have found it with cfm formulas my carb even though a 600 cfm is way to big for my application. If the carb is too big how will that affect my a/f ratio if at all. The reason I ask is at idle it is very sluggish like its either lean or rich and seems...

    engine running funny

    Ok so I got it running and it runs much better. It still seems a little sluggish below about 2000 rpm but once its over it runs like great. It spun to about 4000 rpm before I let off the gas. Also my throttle cable doesn't open the blades all the way. It is about 80% open when the pedal is...

    79k10 yes I pulled the timing chain so that I could make sure it was all line up once again and correctly.

    Yes tdc on #6 is what I meant sorry. But either way it was retarded. I have not had a chance to start it up and drive it yet. When I drive it I will let you guys know how it goes.

    engine running funny

    So I hadn't put it back together yet but I took it down and somehow my cam was retarded. At TDC instead of the cam gear being in the 6 o'clock position the dot on the gear was at about 5 or 5:30. And the crank gear was pointed about 11 or 11:30. Not sure how that happened since I degreed it...

    Like I said I'm going to start from scratch and see what's going on. To make sure everything is correct just in case I missed something.

    So there is nothing wrong with it being off 3 degrees or so? I will tear it apart this weekend and let you guys know what I find. How many degrees does a double roller timing chain stretch after break-in?
