Got it! After looking at more closely (my nose almost hitting the underside) I realized that I could take the pressure off the poly mount with a jack under the trans and move it over without needing to mess with the engine mounts. Yes I have a rather large nose lol! Thanks for helping see...

Ok thanks that sounds like a good plan.

Just clarifying. With the assembly as stated in the OP. What moves to align the assembly? My instinct was to try and move the trans tail over with a prybar. Then I thought nope its locked in to the motor which is locked in to the body on the motor mounts. Then I thought to loosen all 4...

Happy Thanksgiving guys. Looking for advice on the proper way to align the two bolts of the crossmember to the tail housing of my 904. It’s about half a bolt width off so I can’t put the two bolts in. The engine mounts are in and engine is secured sitting on the trans mount already. Thank you...

I know aftermarket uses duel return springs but wasn't the factory configuration a single spring (good or bad)?

Thank you yes I put another one on it but they are not equal. So good reminder to revisit this.

Guys thanks for all the help here! I believe I was able to get the best idle I could given the motor set up. Your help is greatly appreciated! I swapped carbs from my Holley 2 corner double pumper with mechanical secondaries 650 which was requiring more air past the transfer slot optimum...

This is very helpful. This is exactly what I did that no longer seems to work. I raised the timing just as you did so it would idle up a bit with increased timing when in gear. I got it within 200 rpm. But what changed I am not sure yet. I have a hunch. Thanks for sharing your map. It helps to...

That’s what I was doing, and when that thing is fully soaked with heat, the idle in gear is horrible. The idol is very bad it cold when it’s in gear as well.

I think I need to throw in a loose converter just to help with the differential idle issue.

I think this is what I’m fighting. But I have no cam specs and no reference to what torque converter is in there currently. So how will I go about determining what converter I should probably get?

Its rich I believe

Controllable with Idle Mixture 12.5 to 13

Yes Nd yes

It drops 600 rpm now. Something changed. I had it to 200 rpm differential. Now at 1200 rpm in park/N then in gear about 700 and it shakes and runs very rough and I hear possibly detonation. It’s real bad. Vacuum drops from 11 Hg to 7Hg.
