Special Note 9: When tranny is being moved around or being installed, be aware of the problem that can be caused if the No3 (lower) Shift Fork Shaft gets moved. The shaft sticks out the front of the tranny and has the 5th gear Shift Fork attached to it. If the tranny is in neutral or reverse the sh...

Thank you so much for this write up. I used this method to get a 1/4" gap so I could lay a bead of RTV and re-seal the tranny. But, I now can't get the transmission to shift out of gear. It literally won't budge and I'm afraid that forcing it wouldn't be a good idea. I removed the transmission ...

Got it whoop whoop! and now I have to leave for work.
I tightened down some vacuum lines and did a second once over on the routing and now it's all good.
The aap is indeed ruptured, so i capped it off. I'll get back to everyone tonight when I'm not running out the door.

I could see that. Okay. I'll pull the cover.
Found gas in one of the vacuum lines coming from that little black vacuum port on the first tunel on the manifold.

So I just got the dizy put on and..................... Nothing. Darn but thanks a lot for letting me borrow it, and you're right about it helping me to isolate the problem. gottolovem. Can My issue be fuel related? I just don't want to think about it being the case that the engine is bad, because it...

dlb- It's actually not that heavy, which was on of my concerns. It's a little heavier than the stock bumper, plus the weight of the winch. Next time I have it off, i'll be sure to check the weight. Petros- I'm way with you on that. Big bumpers are are just too impractical. tear drop formed tubing so...

Here's the finished product!

I welded on six tabs to secure the bumper skin two, and then made the two 90 degree brackets

I'll get a hold of you later in the week gottolovem if your free.

Thanks alot guys. I really appreciate the amount of time spent in typing these replies. I probably should cut this topic, it is kind of getting too long. So far I have put in new plug wires and plugs,and torqued the manifold bolts to specifications when I installed the motor. I'm sure the new motor ...

compression with my friends tester showed 145 all across. except cylinder two, which was 150.
Spark plug works.

I'm racking my brain.
maybe my spark plug is no good???? everything else seems okay.

Cylinders #1 145 #2 150 #3 145 #4 145 All checked with the motor warmed and throttle open. So it looks like the compressions are all pretty much the same. keep in mind all gauges read differently. Now check out the plugs! In order from 1-4 http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z64/banesterloren/DSCN094...

Well compression reading will have to wait. I left my tools at my friends house and I have to leave for church. I do need to redo my valve cover anyways so good idea.
It leaks a little bit towards the front. I didnt use any RTV???? not sure if I should or shouldn't.

Welp, I'm with my car right now letting it warm up..... cylider 4's exaust manifold is hot, cylinder 1's is cold. definitely not running.
I'm about to shut it off and then check compression. darn.

Thanks alot guys. This is one of the main things that i need to do still. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z64/banesterloren/support_zps899b204d.jpg This bracket will utilize the stock mounting points on the uni-body rail with a 2" piece of angle iron, that corners up against the wheel well a...
