That angled place to the left of your magnet would make a great home for a drain plug. I used a Chevy small block plug and a 1/2" N.F. nut which I spot welded inside my pan. No welder? Maybe your local muffler guy would weld it for a few dollars.

speedo info Check out the speedometer gear reference section at TCI - Performance Transmissions and Torque Converters under technical information.

TV cable setup You will find the info you need here: Bowtie Overdrives | TV Made EZ Click on: Part 1- stock tv cable system

How far does the pin for the TV cable (on the throttle body) move from idle to full throttle position? It should be about 1-1/8" as on the LG4's Quadrajet. From your text it seems like the travel on the TBI is a lot less.

Were you able to assemble and set the end play of the output shaft assembly while it was on your bench? Are you using a NEW hardened sun gear shell? Are there any signs of wear on the sun gear splines or snap ring or groove which would make the fit seem loose?

Pressure check cooler in radiator if you are using it. It doesn't take much water to steam the lining from clutch plates. Pressure washing engine and trans at a carwash could also introduce water into the transmission. You can use Plastigage to check rotor and slide clearances, but ALL traces...

servo cover tool I use a Bessey Tradesman 4" x 16" bar clamp. Works great and was under $25.00.

TV system 101 I recommend this site: Bowtie Overdrives | TV Made EZ A lot of info there.

I have had good luck with 5/16" brake lines and double flare tubing couplers. They cost a little more, but not everyone can master the art of double flaring steel tubing.:(

Did you check the operation of the solenoid? When 12v. is applied, the solenoid should block the flow of fluid (or air) through it. When no voltage is present, the fluid (or air) should be released.

I'd put the Chevy internals into a BOP case if money is an issue. Very easy if you can find one. BTW, is your Chevy case a lockup or non-lockup?

I think your dipstick and tube are mismatched. Most dipsticks extend about 3/4" past the end of the tube when seated, but you would have to remove the pan to check that. :frown: How long is your dipstick from the tip to the seat of the cap? How far from the end of the tube to the seat of...

Why the comment about 115psi being too high? Is it starting in second gear? Your numbers look like you are not pulling the TV cable as Chris718 instructed, or boost system is not working.:confused:

Pump parts GM has several thicknesses of pump parts which makes clearancing the pump possible. With those aftermarket pump sets, the thickness is whatever they happen to be. I'm sure that you're more than qualified to rebuild the 200-4r, but if you need any advice send me an e-mail. Have you...

I swapped a 200-4r into my El Camino. I need your car's info to make suggestions. I used stock parts for a 1986 Monte Carlo SS for my conversion, BTW.
