Yea it does have a 8.25, I have a 79 cordoba with a "k" 360 2bbl, its a DOG off of the line but does pretty well on the highway.

Bump

the A500 is from an 318 88 van I have supporting paper work saying it was rebuilt in 2000, it now sits with 56000 miles. I have a 79 doba with a rebuilt 360 short block, Im assuming it was rebuilt stock. I have added a summit cam 6901, performer intake and thermoquad I plan to add 302...

really? good to know, im working on a b body by the way well i guess its just a coincidence that it started acting up after the intake swap.... OH i also changed my brake booster which was a B***H, but it did require me to roughly handle wires sometimes.. do you thing i could have messed up...

Hello all, im finally ready to get my car back on the road I noticed my gas guage stays at empty no matter what when in fact it worked for sure before the the intake swap i also had problems getting my temp gauge working but i eventually hooked up the right doo-dad to the golden stud to the...

cool so full rebuild it is, im kinda tired of trying to diagnose it im just about to go through with the build, now i need a nice kit, so trans go is the one to go with?

sooooo i should go with a full rebuild kit, i recently talked to someone and they're input was, the fact that the car sat so long before being active the internal seals are leaking....so should i just grab a seal replacement kit? honestly it does make a little sense seeing as how it drives...

I guess 600 isn't that bad but I seen a kit with new gear for around 150 to 200...add that plus a weekend or 2 and we have a bargain!...so what's a good kit since I have a garage to work in now

Ok I decided I'm ging to rebuild it...now wit the symptoms ihave what would be the best rebuild kit? I found some as low as $38 but those only include seals, but do I need new gears if they work? I just drove the car 3 blocks back and forth and was able to park it, though on the first 3 block...

.......this might be dumb and I know its all mechanical but do you think some kind of wiring problem coul be a cause.....after te engine rebuild my gas gauge has been on E all the damn time! It was fine before

Well I guess it has to produce some flow on start up because it shifts properly but later it doesn't.....what does that mean?

sorry about the delay i checked the fluid level while the car was off and cool, the level was above the line, and i KNOW for a fact that while its running that it just right so i guess the pump is working

ok i will post back in about an hour, hopefully i can get pics of the fluid level

no it doesent hesitate to move on cold start up, it also has no problem when engine is warmed up after it sits Never have to rev it on cold start up, and once the trans starts acting stupid its kind of hit and miss, it may seems like rev engages it but it really doesnt fluid levels look just...

i have never taken the pan off the trans, i always thought the trans was untouched but i just heard from the previous driver that the trans has had a "rebuild" in the last 2-4 years before it was in my possession, i know for a fact that the trans hasnt been touched in 2 years....also i think the...

so would a rebuild for those parts be more expensive than a finding a replacement? or maybe something with O/D .....probably not lol i need this thing up asap!

Hmm? where is the pump located. i believe i have a 904, originally the engine is a 360 2bll now a 4bll with edelbrock intake,

ok so i posted a while back about carb problems after a light rebiuld when i got the engine up and running i drove the car for about 2 weeks, I had ZERO problems while driving other than running a little rich up until one day i stopped at a stop sign on the way to class and when i hit the gas...

ok i will try and get a gauge...will any of you guy be at the Dream cruise this weekend ? just wondering because i actually stay off of Woodward would be great if someone with experience could go over this stuff

Sorry about the delay guys, well I set the timing in neutral at 15 degrees before. Now I'm messing with the carb , I noticed that when I drop it in gear it doesn't bog and cut completely but when I snap the throttle it cuts off

Hey guys.. it was out of gas LOL But after gas and a battery jump it was up and running I think there is TOO much advance because it still "kicks back" on start up If I read my timing light right the advance is like 45.4 And on top of it all it still stalls in gear

okay what i did first was unplug the vac advance line and blocked it off at the carb after i started the car i rotated the dist. to bump up the rpms, i ended up having to rotate the wires for the range i needed. SO after i rotated the Dist. right before the point the rpms fell off i locked it...

ok thank you ALL. i will check back with you all later tomorrow and tell you how it goes. Although im so excited about the new info im tempted to try now lol

okay so i should watch out for how much i advance it? oh and should i ever take a hex and change the advance? because i never did that even from day one i just adjusted the air gap and slapped it on

The carb gasket i have is the right one for the edelbrock, it was just the wrong one for the thermoquad and i dont have new plugs yet because i was planning to drive to the store with the car once it was running and then get the plugs lol :banghead: i know it ran well before with the same plugs...

i have no clue what my vacuum is at idle i don't have a gauge though i do have a advance timing light cracked back that second suggestion is so genius it just might work!!!! lol ok so that should take care of the idle And spitting problem?

ok so i should plug the ported vacuum port turn the distibutor until its +10 degrees? then start messing with the carb... soooooo i shouldnt touch the distributor when trying to get the idle right AND i want the idle to be anywhere from 750 to 800 ? :newb:

the rockers are stock even the one i replaced is stock, and what do you mean in time????

:blob: thanks for the reply!! let talk about idle...how do i get the correct idle speed? i got mine by rotating the distrubutor until its 0 advance.... i was always under the impression that 750-800 is high and any where from 500 to 650 was the sweet spot.:oops: lol i guess im not used to my...

oh and i forgot to mention that this is my first rebuild ever
