Gents,
Now that I got it fired up and carbs adjusted, a new problem has come up. I have a 350 SBC, with a powerglide and 3.38 gears. Just sitting as you rev the engine in park not bad, in neutral the car almost learches (maybe learch is strong....but you can tell it wants to move) forward. Secondly, when I shift into gear RPMs drop to the point of stalling the engine. I did replace the trans pan and found nothing wrong with the fluid and no material in the pan. My assumption after doing some reading is the torque converter is bad or locked up when it shouldn't be. So, now I am looking to replace the torque converter but, am unsure of what type to get. When I assembled it I did not see any markings or numbers on my current converter so, not sure what it has. I don't need something with a high stall, but, wondering what others maybe running. Or if the problem that I described may lead to some other problem??
