The first was the gasket for the egr tube to back of the head, don't need due to heads. Second was the gasket for the oil plug.
I dropped the trans off at the trans shop yesterday but have not yet decided what to have done to it. My guy is going to open it up then give me a call but anyone have any recomendations? I'm planing to order a b&m 2400 stall converter but beyond that I have not given it any thought or reserch. It's a daily driver and will be used mostly by the wife. Probably spinning tires taking off and a donut once in a while. Don't think it will be raced out side of one grudge match with a co-worker at milan.
Thanks
If you put a stall converter in it she won't spin the tires because the power won't hit hard until a certain RPM. You'd spin more with the stock converter. A 2400 is fine for a DD. I had an Art Carr tranny in my 90LX with 2800rpm stall and it drove well as a DD. When you mashed the throttle it banged the gears pretty hard which was awesome and consistent.
Played around a little this weekend. Got the motor mostly assembled. Ran in to a little trouble with the balencer, seems the timing marks are 4* off. The motor was balanced with this one so I'll have to fix it with some timing tape. Other wise I'm pretty close to setting it back in the car. Hope the trans guy calls early this week with good news. Also decided on a 2800 rpm stall, if she wants to do a burn out she can just mash the gas...lol
Still waiting for the trans guy to get my trans built. He did call today with an update and of course it needs a complete rebuild as the clutches were burnt and reverse was scorched, guessing the PO like his reverse slams. Any how it's getting rebuilt and upgrading the OD band and the 3-4 servo. Decided to hold off on the trans go shift kit till a later date if we decide to do it. It won't be raced so it's probably not needed.
Since I didn't have parts I needed I have been cleaning up the engine bay. Removed all the vac lines for the egr/smog stuff. I also pulled as much stuff away as I could to clean/wash then scrub with a red scotch pad and paint. I'll get a couple pics up soon. I decided to go with black because I'm not sure what color the car will end up being. My vote is on ruby red metallic...

That is an IAC adjuster- it is to help with idle and also with the whistle that comes from some aftermarket TB. Keep it on.
Put the shift kit in... trust me... You will kick yourself if you don't. It's only $50 and you are spending all this money. It's not only for better shifts, but a shift kit actually is better for your trans. Also, you need to upgrade the OD drum for the 2" HD OD band. You should also replace the B servo with an A servo. You should also definitely get a trans cooler- plate style. If you are spending the money for a rebuilt trans, do it right the first time and your trans will last a lot longer.
The trans guy said it was a newer aod and it had been rebuild before so some things had already been updated and didn't need to be. The decision to hold off on the shift kit was at his advice to. He said if later I want it he will put it in for just the cost of the kit but if he does it and I don't like how hard it shifts it's not as simple to take it out. I know nothing about transmissions so I have to trust what he is telling me. He is a very honest and reputable guy.
It's back in the garage and moves under its own power. However it runs like poo in gear and has no power. No missing or poping it just has no power. Not sure what the problem is yet hope it is something simple. Seems like a bad vac leak to me but if it is its internal and that would Suck to diagnose.
