There's a million other little jobs that went into this.
In addition to this I also installed new trim around the grill, Painted the center trim on my grill and installed new headlight aiming hardware.

And then to top off all that work, on my first real drive my 700r4 burned up.
I am assuming that my tv cable was not adjusted properly, even though I spent a lot of time setting it up.
I studied the fsm, I watched youtube videos. I asked questions on forums. I did everything right.
It still burned up.
When I got it home and pulled the pan there didn't appear to be any slack in the cable. The actuator and the piston looked good.
It still is burned up.
After all that time and money spent my truck is back parked in the driveway.
I'm out of money for a while.  :P

Wow man! Awesome progress!

Q: what is the gauge on the carb?

I like your fuel tank setup for the Holley sniper. Neat idea to mount the fuel regulator right on tank. Is that additional item on top the fuel pump installation?

You can double check your TV cable adjustment by putting a pressure gauge on the transmission. Years ago I had a long hydraulic hose made and put a gauge on the end. Would plug it into the transmission and drive with the gauge poking out under the hood so I could verify pressures. I dont remember what they were supposed to be anymore but DuckDuckGo has the answer.

Diesel...the main item with the black and red electrical lead is the fuel pump. The extra item mounted is a float type of fuel level indicator. Then the black bolted on thing is just the fill neck.

It's a fuel pressure gauge.
I'm guessing my tv cable was not adjusted correctly but when I pulled the pan there doesn't appear to be any slack in the actuator.
Lot's of clutch debris in the pan along with some metal flakes.
The symptoms were slipping bad in all gears and the smell of burning fluid.
I barely made it home.
