So yes ive seen ads for manifolds and some of them tell you if you can fit holleys on there or not, so that would be the manifold i would get,and yes there is linkage available for most every carb setup on a tunnel ram, if not i will make a linkage of some sort. A longer throttle cable? If i...

Nice! This is exactly what i was hoping to find out, thank you for the info

yes i agree, an 850 seems to work well now so 2 450 carbs seems about right to me as well. Also yes it is definitely a mild combination. I had a 500 inch stroker from muscle motors in it for a while but it would spin the tires way too easily and it made the car not as fun to drive. So i put this...

since i am running an 850 cfm carb now with good results then 2 450 cfm carbs sounds about right. Thank you for the helpful information.

No dude the question THAT I ASKED was not why, I know why and you dont NEED to know WHY. i asked about recommendations for carbs as well as any possible problems that i may have not forseen. Also saying "just my opinion of course" does not make your often times strange comments any less...

I really want to run a tunnel ram with dual quads on my street driven car. Anybody here have any experience with running one on the street? Ive seen only two people that i know with them and they both ran very well with few or no driveability problems. I would like to hear from members here if...

Yes i have been told this often. Tell me what makes you say that it was a lousy part? I have been told this by some very smart racers and transmission guys too so i do plan on getting rid of it, i just am curious as to what your experience was with the ger converter?

As for my converter, i did state that i was using a GER converter and i have heard mostly bad things about them. Even Herb Mcandless told me not to use those, and he had no idea that i was running one when he said it. So yes thank you for the recommendation and i will contact him when i can...

i am going to probably leave the sensor right where it is, which is the rear cooler line. I am told that this is fluid after it has passed thru the cooler and thats what i want to see.

i wanted to ask you what is wrong with the old style of trans coolers? Ive had mine for many years and it seems to work, but i just acquired a brand new hayden trans cooler and maybe i will installl that one and retire the old one i have.

i might do that sometime but probably not. I mean where would i shoot the temperature gun? At the trans cooler line? Or the pan? I figure thats why i have the trans temp gauge, and now that the numbers on the gauge sort of match up with the other facts that i have observed,( non burnt cherry red...

yes upgrade the cam. Get one of those cams described as rv and towing cam, they usually idle smoothly but make more power than a stock cam and it can be a big improvement. Two or three of my friends bought these types of cam/lifters/springs like i described and all had said they were excellent...

ok everyone, this is solved. My trans temp gauge was reading wrong due to a mix up of senders and i had the wrong sender in there, I swapped it out with the other one i had and now my gauge reads around 160 at the very most. I was driving around for at least twenty minutes and i was on the...

actually mick has a good point be cause the car WAS ice cold

Mick- i was thinking this as well- my transmission has been fine for about 20 years and only a week ago did i hook up the temp gauge and see the high temperature, but if truly it waqs that hot id think id have burnt fluid and a slipping transmission right? Thats why now im going to swap sendimng...

ok well its pretty simple, since there is no cooler built into the radiator my trans line goes out to the cooler then the other one goes back to the trans. Is that what you wanted to know? I used 3/8 copper tubing for trans lines and they are routed carefully away from headers and stuff like...

you know something? i once had another brand of trans temp gauge in this car so i wonder if i used an incorrect sending unit? Maybe a mis matched gauge/sender combo? Ill swap senders and let you all know what it did. I cant find information on ohm readings from autometer,

as i looked into the instructions online, it says to weld a bung into the pan and it has no mention of cooler lines at all!! So weird,

i think it may7be due to the ger brand torque converter. everyone says they are junk and i think they are correct
