I ordered the B&M Tork Master 2400 stall converter and new flexplate, which I will be installing tomorrow morning. The flexplate and converter I have now is a 4 pad and does not match the new 3 pad converter I ordered. Who really knows what converter is in the truck now... I will post some...

Well I got the transmission shifting at the right point by adjusting the screw inside the vacuum modulator.

So do I need to get one of these kits with the weights? B&M 20248 - B&M Governor Recalibration Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com Or get a different Vacuum Modulator like this one: B&M 20234 - B&M Vacuum Modulators - Overview - SummitRacing.com The new Vacuum Modulator that I put in...

Where can I buy one built like the original? Another reason for taking the original one out is because the vacuum nipple was sort of bent and crushed so I threw it away. Also where can I buy different weights or a governor? No one has been in the distributor. I bought a new one thinking the...

I will be installing a converter this weekend and I will report back. I ordered a transmission vacuum governor (red stripe) for a gas engine and it didn't really help with the shifting. With the diesel engine the shifts were firm and on point. Now they are soft and I am in 3rd gear around...

Valve lash is good. I installed a timing chain/gear set and everything was in time. I am unsure of the engine builder. I went by the shop today and had someone look at the carb. He said everything checked out good. Fuel pressure and flow was also good. He went through the ignition timing and...

The carb is used, fairly new, but in unknown condition. I know all ignition is good. I will know the condition of the carb tomorrow.

Sorry for the confusion, but I meant stock converter for a 350. It's defiantly not the 6.2 converter. I don't see how it could be the converter when a stock 350 has more power than my 383. I could understand if it had a crazy cam that needed a higher stall for its power band. According to comp...

I got a little black smoke under a load. It goes down the road just fine, have pulled anything with it yet. Transmission shifts points are normal from 1-2, then goes into 3 really soon. I used a electric pump and got most if not all of the diesel out. As far as I know the torque converter is...

A little history about the truck. I bought it a year ago with 18k miles in great running condition. I got tired of driving 45mph in the truck and needed an engine that could handle more revs with out changing rear end gears. I got the engine from a friend that used it in a mud truck powered by...

I called many part stores and dealers trying to get that hose and no one had it. I went to my local hydraulic supply store and bought their strongest hose so that it wouldn't kink. I originally tried a regular fuel hose and it seemed to kink real bad and collapse under suction. I also cut the...

Mom: Thinks its a regular truck. Dad: Loves it because of the look and how it can take about any abuse. Girlfriend/Friends: They think I should put it to rest and buy something new. People on the road used to hate me because I never went over 45mph. Now I have a 383 stroker and they just stare...

I haven't seen a seat belt light on my m08.

Nice.

I have been having the same problem. I thought it was my glow plug relay or module, but I seem to be getting air in the lines. The area under the fuel filter is wet. I plan on changing to a screw on filter.

I found it easy to use a hand held vacuum pump hooked up to line coming from the pump to the filter. Once fuel reached the vacuum pump, I then connected the line and it started right up. Now a few hundred miles later after replacing the pump, suction line, and filter, I see that the filter...

I really like the black door panels and seat. Engine is really clean too!

I have an 86 m08 and I dont have any rubber weather strip on the door. Should I? I have one that goes on the cab where the door meets.

I just replaced my pump and filter. I took line off going from the filter to the IP and used a hand-held brake vacuum pump and sucked all the air out. Once I got fuel in the vacuum pump reservoir I put the line back on and cranked it. It started right up, hick-uped for a second, then I was good...

What kind of black paint did you use and what size tires are on the truck? I really want to paint my truck like this.
