Got the new 2400 stall converter in and man what a difference. I did a little power brake test and it will smoke the tires by barely touching the gas. I can now get the truck to idle properly in gear. Everything seems to be great with this swap, other than a small oil leak at the lower timing cover.
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...
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:

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...
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...
