I have to tweak the y-pipe- somehow it got in contact with the oil drain plug. Other than a few odds and ends, I should be able to fire it when the MAP sensor shows up...
Well, the MAP sensor came in. I got the mid pipe cut off, muffler out, and readjusted the y-pipe. Also got the ground strap to the starter on. I decided to throw another coat of resin over the dick patch on the heaterbox, so I can't start it until that cures enough for paint.
Ain't it funny how you come up with excuses when you're skeered? At least I dropped the return to Summit off at the Post Office. Hopefully, it runs and I can put gears in next weekend. I'll drop the mid-pipe off tomorrow on the way home from work. That's getting bent out of 2.5" for the F-body muffler, so I can have the duals behind the rear wheels some of you hate so much. 😛 (I like'em!)

Time for hair dryers!
I think he wants to make sure it will hold together first. I hope the gearing makes a big difference, it should. I am trying to keep the 2.78 gears in my 70S, hard with the way it is performing. I just added a TH350C to drop another 300 RPM on the highway. Well does it suck with the stock stall, just a dog off the line. With the better first gear and 2300 flash stall converter in the 2004R, it would roast the tires with ease. I think a Hughes 2500 stall lock up converter will go in a some point. What does the factory 4L60E converter stall at behind the mighty 3800?
That's an interesting question, so I stuck it in the Google machine. The only thing I found was a Transmaxx on Rock that lists "medium stall speed", WETF that means.
It's the same converter for 3.08 or 3.42 gears on the AC part number.I'm not saying put it on or anything but perhaps give it just a little bit of no2.......just to see if it likes it lol
