A bit of friggin' around with the fuel pump and I ended up modifying the spring and got the pressure down 2-3 Lbs.... What a difference first time in traffic and it worked perfectly... except for just a couple of burbles. Opened the hood and the pressure was up to 6-9 lbs under those conditions. I ordered a bunch of different springs for the pump and will drop it another 2 lbs (sitting at 5.5-6lbs most of the time right now.
Fixed a few annoyances also before the test drive. Torque converter bolts were a bit loose. Who authorized no inspection plate in this cover? What a PIA to have to take this brace off to get it.... Retorqued and the accel/dec knock is gone.
Found the source of the transmission leak. Aftermarket.. What that stupid cupped washer is for I have no idea. It cut the o-ring as I tightened it and destroyed it. The aftermarket thing is not right from a sealing surface so you can't use the correct Mopar seal. I just found an o-ring, removed the washer and put on some of the Permatex sealer on it.. If it leaks time for a NOS part...
Cheap Standard brand oil pressure switched died already, NOS on the way for only $5 more than the new... should have done that to start with....
