ya, thats the main reason why I'm worried about it. I dont have the $$ to fix the tranny if I screw it up. So my nicely rebuilt motor will be sitting and my truck just wasting away again. I have the TV set now and its all the way out with me pulling WOT. I wired it up with some saftey wire so I could start it, I'm getting WOT that way, but no way I will trust it for long, plus it just looks bad. I drove it up the street yesterday (thats how I found out it dosent have brakes). It didnt shift out of first, but I didnt get over 20, and I forgot to hook up the vac. advance so it wasnt pulling good under load anyways. I got to excited and took off without thinking. I hope to get the brakes bled tomorrow and get it back to my house, I know my mom is tired of looking at it.
