    carburators

    Have you tried turning the fuel pressure up? It sounds like it's not getting enough of a pump shot from the accellerator and mabe running out of fuel at higher rpms. Has it had this problem every since you rebuilt it? I have a 750 Holley running 6 1/2 lbs on the regulator. 355 sb...

    What pressure do you have the regulator set at? Why did you need the regulator? Is this a modified engine?

    carburators

    What kind of distributor do you have in it. That being a 402 and the last year they made it was 72 it would have points if it's still the original. I had a 72 402 that had a simular problem and ended up changing the dizzy(HEI) to get it to run right.

    Welcome to the forum RJ. It sounds fuel related. Might try a fuel pump. Do you get any backfires from the engine?

    Exhaust Exit

    Here's a vid of my truck in the cab. I have 2- 40 series Flowmasters that exit right before the rear axle. You can tell more about it with headphones on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UswaVHqvX8 There are a couple more vids on the same page. 92 Silverado 355 I wanted to add that both my pipes...

    700r4 revs too high before shifting.

    I think the brake switch unlocks the converter when depressed.

    What was your first Vehicle?

    I had a 66 Ford Fairlane that was a very nice car. 2 door 289 back in 1978. Wisk I still had it.

    700r4 revs too high before shifting.

    This is a very informative link. I have mine set up according to the way it shifts and down shifts. I have been running it this way for 7 yrs. I think I will hook a gauge to it in the near future and see how well I've guessed at the set up.

    700R4 TV (Throttle Valve) Cable Adjustment

    http://www.tvmadeez.com/article/index.php Read all 3 parts of the link. This was new to me but seems these guys know their stuff when it comes to the tv adjustment.

    1977 C10 not getting fuel

    Glad you got it running. Do you think the selector valve was stopped up, stuck between the tanks, or sucking air??

    dads cammed tbi need computer tuning?

    It will probably be cheaper to put the carb back on it. I hope that's a 4l60 trans. If it's a 4l60e, as mentioned, you will need a controller for it. If it's a 4l60 you will only need a tv cable.

    Sounds like the tv cable needs to be adjusted.

    Pushrod length madness

    Sounds like a good plan. Let me know how it comes out. My next project will probably be a big block. I'd like try my luck at a 540. Got to gather up some cash, parts, and do some research. Hopefully in a year or so. I've got a pretty strong little 355 that I put together about 7 or 8 years ago...

    Pushrod length madness

    Did you end up checking the length with the lifters installed? I think the best way to get the length would be to install the new lifters on one cyl (int & ext). From here you would have to experiment with different settings of the push rod to give you the best valve geometry with the valve lash...

    Air conditioner removal.

    Yeah, I've noticed, any shop that speacializes in one certain field think they are the only shop that you can take it to. Then they think they can charge you what they want or put parts on that it doesn't need. As mentioned, there is not a lot to the systems. I've always done my own AC work...

    1986 Chevy K10 - sucks for power :(

    I think I would check the alt. output and go from there on the elec. issues. Sounds like it may be time for some carb work on the bogging issue. Maybe a kit and good cleaning would fix it up. One thing I forgot to mention here. You might experiment with the timing by bumping it up a couple of...
