I posted some time ago about the work I'm doing on my '86 GMC 1500 pickup (305 "H" motor/700R4) .
Background : I loaned my son my truck , and he f***ed it up . Blew a trans because he couldn't be bothered to check the oil . Damaged an oil pressure sensor while replacing the trans . Sensor dumps all the oil resulting in a near-seizure of the motor .
Now : The motor has been bored .060 over , flat top pistons for ~9.7:1 compression . Elgin E922P cam (.443/214°@ .050 int , .466/224° @ .050) with an Edelbrock Performer on top and a set of small/long tube headers . There's a 600 Holley vac secondary settin' on top of it all ... and I've been a quadrajet man all my life . It's been a learning curve , I've been fighting idle problems , ended up with a 3/32" hole in the primary throttle valves and opened the secondaries up so the tiniest bit of the transition slot is showing . Finally , a stable idle , and now I can move on the the tach install and other interior/under-dash repairs . And then on to the rear axle ... replacing the stock 2.73's with a set of 3.42's . Had the correct speedo gears installed when the trans was rebuilt .
