Well if weather permits I am having my PTC transmission and convertor installed. I have decided against putting it in myself. Which makes me kinda nervous lol. I am a perfectionist. Taking it over to one of my hot rod buddies shops down in Severville TN.

Not given up yet but my time and there money are a bit short...
Race next week......Going with what works....950 CARB.

Put the FI set up back on my 408C and it runs perfectly. Almost drives me insane..........

Lol just messing with you. Trust me I know the feeling of just wanting to get it running.

funkatation · 02-29-2016, 10:37 AM

Does your truck have a 3 or 4 speed auto now? I can't seem to get my column to go all the way down into first gear after my 4 speed swap.

3 speed. Is it binding at the column or the shift rod? From my understanding I could be wrong. Is you need a longer shift rod. Lmao. Idk have not messed with the four speed in these trucks.

funkatation · 02-29-2016, 11:18 AM

Once you get yours in let me know. I put in the lokar linkage but I just don't think the shifter goes down that far on the column. Just need to mess with it more I guess.

Hell I forgot to post I scratched the 4 speed idea and went with a race ready TH350 from PTC. Now if I remember correctly a old timer told me you will have to notch the column so it will do down into 4th gear or buy a column from a 4 speed truck.

RodsGreen10 · 03-01-2016, 04:47 PM

Did a lil video for everyone. New carb. Cold start no pedal pump! Just for the people who don't believe.

Sounds good, what mufflers are you running? Sounds like you may also be running an XPipe? What size exhaust?

Smart man. Yes I am running a X pipe. Borla XS mufflers. But just bought some Borla XR1 mufflers. It is a 3" from collector back. And thank you I like how it sounds myself.

Transam461 · 03-01-2016, 05:05 PM

Your welcome, and thanks for the info, that is a very nice truck!

RodsGreen10 · 03-01-2016, 05:12 PM

Forgot I want to apologize for the mess in the garage getting new wood looking tile laid downstairs for the wife. So that is why my garage is a mess.

RodsGreen10 · 03-04-2016, 10:52 AM
