    Hot starting issues

    When you turn the key does it do nothing but click or does it just turn the motor over real slow? Or does it turn over fine and just not start?

    Removing smog pump and tubes 84 305

    Yep. If I remember right, the smog pump has it own belt connected to the crank pulley. Just yank it off it will NOT effect the other belts.

    Battery to Alternator Bracket Ground

    Thanks for all the replys. I ran the ground to the block successfully. So far so good, but is it common for the idle to jump up when the brakes are applied while parked? Is that a sign of a potential leaky brake booster?

    Battery to Alternator Bracket Ground

    I replaced the stock alternator bracket with a chrome bracket for looks. The new chrome bracket does NOT have a hole for the ground from the battery. Where is the next best place for the ground? The Frame?

    Thanks for the helpful information.. I understand that the single stage may not last as long. But summit does offer a single stage clear and Im hoping that will atleast help protect the paint from UV and other elements for a little longer and I do plan on using it.

    do i need this wires and what are they for?

    The wires to the left of the motor are to your ECM, it is located usually behind you glove box. Are you running an HEI distributor? if so you definetly do NOT need them wires. They are for the ESC style dist. computer controlled.

    Also, the transgo reprogramming kit came with the option of 2 springs for the pressure regulater valve, red or orange. It says the red is for street and heavy duty towing, and the orange is for competition. So has anybody ever used the orange? is it to hard of shifts? and will it cause long term...

    Stalls in Reverse

    Ya I should have taken a better pic. Its a really old transmission and converter. I picked up a used TH350 to replace the TH350-C for now. Hopefully it will give me a chance to open that 350-C and learn a little. Gonna do some how-to research and find a good rebuild kit, and the special tools...

    Wont start, but has power

    I will definetly check the cables, but the pos. and neg. are new. I will put the ground strap back on. I have not had the ground strap on there for the few days it been driving and starting great, could I have damaged something running it without the ground strap to the firewall?

    Wont start, but has power

    Also before I got it running again, it did have the esc computer under the dash above the glove box. The wires went thru the firewall to the dist. and grounded to the passenger head, then the passenger head was grounded to the firewall. I removed the esc and all the wires thru the firewall, and...
