What did you do to your G-Body today 2024

Made it home. Thankfully by surface streets i only live about 10 miles from work, but it's more of the same. I can manually shift gears and it'll behave but if i give it any throttle at all it will fall back into 2nd and i can usually get third back by going back and forth between 3rd and 2nd and feathering the throttle.
That screams modulator to me, as it generally behaves the same whenever the line falls off, but the part that scares me is the sudden free revving while driving.

i ran out of gas in the front yard so i'll run to the parts store in the morning, get a modulator and some gas, blow the line out for giggles, and see what happens.
 
Got the double din kit yesterday so jumped into that last night, gonna have to do some modding to push it out to clear the gauge housing. Would have to push it out some anyways because the lower metal piece keeps it from seating the way it was intended. I had some wood in there I used for the last setup, gonna try metal this time I believe. Once I had it hooked up I tested. and for some reason there was no sound coming out. So pulled out the amp and crossovers, everything looks to be in order still but feel like the amp had a light that would turn on when it was working so not seeing that makes me think there is something wrong. Decided to wait to try to get the metal piece fabbed up before jumping further into the sound

Yep, transmission is toast.

Anyone have a working BOP th350 they'd trade for a set of regal fenders near Iowa?
:/

Went ahead and extended the original wiring for the Turn Signal Flasher from behind the radio, over to the open unused space on the Fuse Block. I don't know when or why they moved the Turn Flasher out of the fuse block and just hanging off the dash harness but I like it better in fuse panel for easier access. To be honest, it's not like flashers go bad all that much so it was probably a waste of time, lol.

I'm guessing the metal retaining clip on the metal frame of the dash maybe made it sound a little more tickety ticky, and louder but I never cared how loud or quiet the flasher was.

If and when I get to that point, I will need help figuring out wiring up a modern Radio, I hope you be one of them.

After the car show I got back into adapting the new head unit in and moving the other up, got the metal cut out for the support and measurements for what to offset the head unit out.
