So I talked to my buddy today. So you’ll have to keep in mind he’s got 37 or 38 inch tall tires and somewhat has a heavy foot 🦶. He said he did notice about a 2.3 mpg gain after the install.
I'd say you did everything right before it started, except I'm pretty sure you flooded it out. Luckily it wasn't real bad or else those plugs would be shot. Noticed the engine was missing some but did manage to pull out of it. And yeah, never start a engine with tranny lines off, soon as it starts tranny fluid is all over in a matter of seconds. The fluid flows thru those lines even in park.
Glad to see the work moving forward again! And just to confirm, there was no leak on that driver side line; that was penetrating oil around the connection between the hose and solid line?
Yes I am very happy to finally start working on it again. you are probably not aware but the reason there was a dip in videos is because I was hit by a DUI driver, so I was pretty banged up for a few months. So I am finally healthy enough to get back to work
Ha well thanks but I don't mind the good type of trolling. Maybe I can get a follow and like for my other videos? It's been a while we just put out another video
Can I ask you a question? Is it possible to put a flex plate on backwards? And if it is backwards will it cause any damage to the transmission or engine?
@@sharmasteeltv8494 yes it’s possible to put it on backwards it probably wouldn’t line up good with the starter and it’s probably it could damage the pump in the transmission if the converter is not in its proper location
@@willierebuildz9182 well damn! That’s what I was afraid of. I’m gona have to take the trans back out and flip the damn flex plate. Thanks for the info you probably saved me a bigger headache 🤕 in the future.
That cable next to your transmission is your speedometer cable -the wire with the plug is for your lockup converter in the transmission the brackets are for your shifter that flat bracket bolts to the pan like you were thinking and the others go to the shifter nub on the side of the transmission. You should have a this nut to bolt that on and a small clip to attach the shift cable to those brackets that bolt on with that thin nut. Check your wires on the distributor cap make sure the tach wire is plugged in- if it’s not that may be why the tachometer isn’t working
Well thanks for clearing that up, appreciate it! The Tac appears to be working fine. Only thing I saw on the instrument panel not working was the Temp gauge. I’ll have to diagnose that next time I work on the car.
Hey I have a question to ask you about this car. I have a picture to send you about something that is broken, but I dont know who its called to even try to replace it...... anyway I can send you a picture of it? It vacuum lines going into it near the Distributor one of the lines go into the intake
