    Choked exhaust = failed emissions???

    No, NOx is caused by internal engine conditions, ie lean a/f mix, inoperitive egr, etc. Your stock exhaust with cats won't have any negative effect on your emissions readings. Make sure any aftermarket mods have CARB #s on them.

    stumble

    I'm having a major hesitation on accel in the 1500-2000 rpm range, just off-idle. When I punch it, it seems to fall on its face, then picks up and moves after 2k. Carb is a rebuilt holley 600 w/vacuum secondaries... I would think accel pump, but could vacuum leak at the intake, or a combination...

    C4 no reverse

    I would check fluid level first. Fluid level is critical with automatics. If that's good, may be a band/servo problem. C4s are not really that hard to rebuild, make sure you have a good manual with good illustrations of the breakdown in parts. Also keep track of where all the little check balls...

    Finally got underneath the trans to look at the modulator. Sure enough... there's a peice of rubber hose that connects the modulator to the hardline. The hose had come off. Plugged it back in, made sure it was hooked up to the hardline... played around with the carb air/fuel mix, idle speed...

    Torque specs for weiand stealth intake

    Ahh, I never retorqued after initial run in. That could be why my vacuum sucks. (no pun intended) :D I remember the instructions saying to follow the factory intake tightening sequence, and also not to tighten the outside 4 bolts over 15/20 ft lbs, or you could crack the intake. So go...

    Rear Brakes Locking

    Are you sure that both long shoes and both short shoes aren't paired together? This will cause the rears to lock up, although mainly the side with the two long shoes. There was a 69 390 4v in my shop yesterday with that problem... the guy did the shoes himself... couldn't figure out why his...
