ME TOO.......:) BIG SMILE'"
Mark, Here is the story on my truck. I bought it 12 years ago, Up the road a piece from you, in Phoenix, Az. It was rust free, but engine and...
Thanks everyone on the HokeyAssMessageBoard for helping me troubleshoot my LeakyAssHousing. The solution ended up being installing one of these:...
Mark, My leak isn't happening when I drive the truck, no blow back. It only leaks when the truck is parked with the rear down hill. Also, the tail...
While we wait for our guest speaker to check in, let me go back to my original post. Should I be using this sleeve/bushing and O-ring in groove at...
Ok, Drivers Meeting: Tonight's guest Speaker, introducing Mark Yak...Yah, ...Deafening Applause;) When I popped the tail housing back about 1/2...
Saltflats, Thanks for responding,:( I have replaced the seal and used sealer twice, but the third time might end up being a charm.

Today's results: I wear a size 11 shoe, and would say my tranny didn't leak a huge amount overnight except that I drove around running reads and...
Extension housing lip seal and bushing were both replaced, and are good. I'll know better tomorrow, but, I think the dipstick is probably good....
Ok guys, I'm back in the saddle, but it looks like you've all left me at the starting line. I'll try to catch up with all of your great input....
Thanks ALL for the interesting conversation this fine night, but this ugly old man needs his beauty rest so I'll check back in sometime tomorrow....
Mark, I didn't mention earlier, but, I had Cincinnati Driveline replace the weep hole type output yoke with a new yoke without a weep hole because...
Thumb on one hand and pinky on the other hand, and the pissed off finger has a mind of its own :-)
Ok, maybe I exaggerate just a wee bit :-), I drained it into a gallon jug and wasn't sure about the exact amount, but was sure that it was too...
Mark, I removed the tail housing 3 times, after running and driving the truck, an each time the housing was filled with approximately 2 quarts of...
I haven't figured out why, but I have proven that large amounts of fluid (about 2 quarts) is making its way into the tail housing, so the reason...
I'm gonna check the vent tube tomorrow. The fluid is getting past the seal lip so maybe I'll find an issue with the vent. Potshot, if I get to a...
I recently posted about my ongoing issue with my TH350 leak, and for some reason my post disappeared, so trying again. I had the classic issue...
Thanks to ALL for your ideas. Weather has turned cold here in Northern KY and I've moved my 54 inside for the winter. I'm not 100% sure, but feel...
Jeff, What are your thoughts on this: https://www.jegs.com/i/Carter/180/P4070K/10002/-1 Should I also add a pressure regulator and guage, and if...
I'll check accelerator pump nozzle flow tomorrow. Any thoughts on going with an edelbrock electric fuel pump and pressure regulator?
just got back on this today, and followed Fairlane 62's suggestions. I found some loose intake manifold bolts, and when I sprayed carburetor...
Don't know yet, at this point I've replaced plugs, wires, distributor, added Turbo 108 Octane Boost, Heet, and fresh gas. I cleaned the harmonic...
Thanks Jeff, Doesn't look like I can go wrong with the Skip Wite unit as a diagnostic tool, or a replacement unit. I have one ordered and on its...
Probably opening a floodgates of opinions here, but to. 40cpe's suggestion to try another distributor (I don't have a spare), what would be a good...
Thanks 40cpe and 50sboy, I'll run through your suggestions tomorrow and report back.
Fuel filter checked out good, HEI coil connections look good and firing order is correct. I'm at my wits end.
I forgot to mention, I also had the ignition module tested at Autozone with no issues found. I replaced it anyway just in case.
Tested voltage at distributor, 12v. Ran jumper to battery. Tested coil, .5 ohms on low side, 7000 ohms, still running rough and stalling. I'm...
