The new engine

[David Williamson]

I got it back a little late.
After a few "issues" and "delays" I got it back a week and 2 days after my promised date.
But none the less I am satisfied with it, its running good other than a couple problems.
First the car will switch out of 1st gear but it takes a minute, and will make this whining noise while trying.
Never had that issue before.
Also they messed with my linkage cable because now it doesn't want to go into any gear by the shifter, I have to do it by the column, I paid another guy to fix that and he did but now since they touched it its completely broke.
I can fix these myself just saying in general that's what came of it all.
But again its whatever I am still happy about the engine and getting it back and it drives.

Here's the videos I took for you all.

Thank you all for the support in the past and in the future.
But anything you all want to know that I didn't mention feel free to ask.

It looks and sounds good, David.
I hope your exhaust isn't going to hang down like that. I would suggest running the pipes all the way to the rear, or just past the rear wheels.
What transmission is in your car now? If it's a TH350, make sure the vacuum line to the modulator is connected. If it's a 200-4R, make sure the TV cable is adjusted properly.

Thanks Joe,
I'm not always correct, as I've found on several topics...but in this case I do think a full exhaust system (with proper hangers) all the way back is the way to go.

*David, I hope you're finally able to get some enjoyment out of your car after all the setbacks and aggravation you've endured.
Good luck!

No way they will stay like that, I am going to just run them all the way back.
Just have to find someone who can do it for me.

But yeah its the TH350, I will try that.

Thanks.

David,
I'm glad that it's finally working out for you. I know you were on the verge of selling the car. Perhaps now you'll have a renewed interest and enthusiasm for it.
Keep it going.
