Weird thing I never noticed before.

I got the truck on 6-25-2006

I got my Camaro on 6-25-2016

That's weird as can be.  never noticed that until yesterday.


Truck pic is first day I got it out of grandad's garage.

Camaro Pic is it in Florida when I went down there to go get it and bring it back to GA.

Funny Vile 


Curious are you using (assuming) Terminator (not X Max) and you are wanting to lockup the converter on the 700R4?

Engine/Drivetrain / Motor mount brackets wrong?

« Last post by JaredD on June 27, 2026, 11:35:57 pm »

I am installing a sbc in a 83 C10 and I noticed the top clamshell tabs appear to not rest on the supports since the motor mount brackets flair at the top; does this look correct?  On one side the tab is barely under the bracket but as you can see the other is within it.  I bought the motor mount brackets off of eBay but I’m wondering if I got the wrong parts?  See part number in pic below.

Always refer to your specific model year but this was the basic horn wiring method used.

The answer is a 4 barrel 

So what do you have on there now? The same bracket for the detent cable will work.

haha, guess I just have to tell my wife I need to upgrade

Right now I have a 2 barrel M2ME dualjet

Electrical / Re: TH350C orange test connector use?

« Last post by Scaryfastatx on June 25, 2026, 11:18:01 am »

You're reading it wrong. Key on 12v to the solenoid. The brake switch or low vacuum switch can interrupt the circuit open. The pressure switch in the valve body grounds the solenoid when the appropriate pressure is met and applies the torque converter clutch. If you have a test light bulb installed on the test connector you can hit the go pedal and see it go out, let off see it come on, hit the brakes, see it go out, let off the brakes, on and so forth. 

AH ok perfect

I thought the circuits inside the transmission would also play into the test light turning on or off, but its solely checking the:

• Vacuum is within range
• Brake are not pressed

Do the same thing, check your connections at the valve and switch it, see what happens.

Thx VZ.

I did unplug it and cleaned it with DeoxIT. No change.

Common for the valve switch to go bad internally?
