'66 with a 2.73 in the rear?

[C10Slim]

Rich: I have been through the linkage several times. Its tight and smooth. I can just place a finger on the cable between the bracket and the linkage and notice the RPMs come up. This was part of setting up the TV cable. You put a gauge on the trans and are supposed to see a pressure change just by putting your fingers on the throttle cable. No kick down because of the 700r4.

I am convinced it is in timming because the only thing changed was the port used. Fixed one problem but created another. Once I get my light back I am going tog to re-time everything. I am also going to try and re-adjust the a/f mixture screws.

St8: yeah in taking the choke off(pushing the cable in). The motor was cold. Really only gave it half choke and it fired right up(first time ever!). Like I said before changing to manifold vac, even ice cold you couldn't give it any choke and get it to start.

I am pleased with the progress we are making. I really want to go drive it I am sure it hase helped the low end I originally started this thread with. I think with just a little fine tuning it will be perfect. Funny how this went from a gear question to engine tunning 101, but thanks again everyone for the input and helping me think through this problem. The input has been invaluable. That's why I love this forum!

I will get my time light back this week and keep everyone posted of the progress.
