Burned valve from cracked header maybe? Run a compression test on all cylinders and get back to us with the results. Could also be a bad injecter or injector wiring.

I put a "faster steering" box on my hurst/olds 30 some years back and it wouldn't turn in a 3 acre field. Some boxes have more travel.

I hate spell check. Try Cloyes.

Closes makes a find replacement chain which I used when I built a 242 for my son's eliminator. Don't have the part number but Google will probably know about it.

The kit I got from wittrans.com was complete except for the band which I ordered seperately. Had all the thrust washers and many sets of gaskets for all the different versions of this Trans.

I did this several years ago. You need to acquire some special tools and get a case of brake cleaner. Got the raybestos kit from a supplier in Charlotte, NC. I have been working on cars or managing those that do almost my entire life but this was my first AT. Don't use rags to wipe parts off as...

Usually when ps goes out at idle it is a weak tired pump.
