    518 Screech in neutral

    AJ, you certainly have a knack for thinking things through! Many have benefitted here. Took some time tonight to see what I could find out. All seemed normal driving around the neighborhood. What I did find is that my switches only activate the OD and lock-up when in drive, and have no...

    518 Screech in neutral

    Thanks again, AJ, that gives me some things to work with. I've sorta regretted not building the trans myself, as I've done everything else (engine, carb, headers, wiring, suspension, etc.) from front to rear myself. The trans the only thing I didn't, so that remains somewhat of a mystery...

    518 Screech in neutral

    Yeah, I've never done that one again!!! I'm running 4:11's and mostly drive around town, or runs on back country roads, only use the overdrive when on road trips on the highways. But what a blessing that is when I'm on the Interstate, to be able to drop the revs to 2700-2800 or so! (Maybe it...

    518 Screech in neutral

    Thanks AJ, good info, and as often, a bit beyond my knowledge, but thanks for the logical assessment. I am now recalling (best of my memory..) that I may have briefly heard something similar coming down from OD/lock-up cruise to near stop and switching (toggles) out of OD/lock-up when I forgot...

    518 Screech in neutral

    Couldn't get my phone to edit, but wanted to add that the 11" converter is a lockup unit.

    518 Screech in neutral

    Yesterday while running around town, when I put my 518 in neutral it (or converter?) responded with a very loud screech. (I had a similar quite disturbing sound once in the past, but it turned out the flex plate bolts were rubbing on my dust cover, removed it and left it off.) I pulled off to...

    340 fuel/ignition issue?

    With my 6322 I'm starting to wonder if I simply had too much spring in the rod piston with the fairly big cam I have in the 340. (Solid lifter with .235/.243 @ .050) This might be the reason the 6322 had the inconsistent idle A/F #'s, going way rich at times at idle.

    340 fuel/ignition issue?

    As I first said, I've been working with two carbs. My original 6518 was working well until a brass float sank, and the fact that the throttle shaft was getting fairly worn. So I decided to build a 6322 that I had. I re-bushed the throttle shaft on that one, did a rebuild kit, new nitrophyl...
