Re: broken bellhousing th350

My memory isn't great on this, but it seems to me his first problem was a broken tailhousing, maybe two of them, then he broke a bell housing. I believe he did the driveshaft change, added pinion snubber and put a different transmission in it all at the same time and problem went away. Hard to tell...

Re: broken bellhousing th350

One of my buddies broke a number of bellhousings, including a Ultra bell in his G-body. He did a shot gun approach, putting in a pinion snubber and changed the drive shaft length at the same time and it fixed it. Most likely at some point it's bottoming out the driveshaft. Thanks John I took the la...

Re: carb for automatic

I have a 87 monte 383 I went from a 3310 vac to a 4779 and the car went a 10th. The 60 stayed the same 1.61. I only switched to see if it would run closer to the number and it did.

Re: weak and hesitant under load

Try a vacuum gauge. I had the same problem and turned out that my intake gasket was leaking. My 041 heads were cut down and the bottom of my intake was was pulling air.
