Ok, be back in a while.

Brother...I aint ingoring anyone's advice. And i didnt take this guy's advice over yours. I was just quoting what he said and I even quoted him incorrectly. Ive been advised by several here on different topics. I cant remember all of them and i didnt print each lesson. No familiar with navigating this page like a veteran.



I only moved from Austin to San Antonio. Austin isnt considered Texas anymore by us.


Ok, I'm back from Autozone. I have the compression tester and bought a timing light. Like plumkrazee70, I'd like to take one step at a time, so as not to lose instructions in the thread. Gonna eat my late lunch while the comments come in.

I would have told you to get the dial back version that you can adjust to the desired number and just adjust the distributor to where timing mark is at 0. Easier to see n no guessing or timing tape needed.
Try and address one problem at a time. The guys mentioned you're kickdown cable AKA throttle valve pressure to your transmission may not be adjusted properly and that's true ...it will not act right because it has a speed sensor at the tail of the transmission telling it how fast it's going but the throttle valve pressure is nowhere appropriate for that speed and things get crummy from there till it eats itself. So fix that and I'd probably just buy a stock replacement one or get one off of a Dodge truck or something similar
