poking around it stalls at 2k, when i romp on it, jumps to 4.

Job complete, thanks all for the tips, helped greatly. WHOA what a difference from the stock convertor to the custom 9.5, the car feels like it has double the power and wants to lay rubber.... 6.9 second 0-60 burning a lot of rubber.. that's fast for a low-comp 360 with 3.23 gears! Shoulda done...

yeah if i can get one with an easy tilt adjustment, thats all i need that my jack can’t do.

Got the transmission out, what a pain. TTI headers and H-pipe hug very close and required some acrobatics to tilt transmission out without taking the entire exhaust system off.

Im assuming TC drain plug access?

Ok, dumb question but with B&M flex plate 10236 (for external balanced 360 using non-weighted convertor) there is a big half moon cutout... what is the purpose of this cutout, does it need to be oriented a certain way? All the B&M instructions talk about is bell housing alignment. Crickets about...

Thanks all for the good advice! I did recently freshen up the trans in car, has deep pan with drain bolt and shift kit, did a fresh tailshaft bushing.. but I will absolutely take the opportunity to do the front seal and shift shaft seal. And I have a spare slip yoke to pop in there, good idea...

Friends, I finally ordered a custom dynamic 9.5" convertor for my satellite (360/727) and have the car up on ramps and jack stands in the garage, I plan to drop the trans and do the swap as a winter project (still have a couple months of winter here in WI). I'm using the B&M external balance...

Team, Im hoping someone is willing to pinch a pair of these from their calibration pack and send my way. Edelbrock #1955 rods .067 x .037 will be marked 6737 on rod. Jets #1429 are .101 and will be marked 401. Thanks for looking.

Forgot to mention, includes original jets and rods as well.

Reduced price to $180 after reviewing other carbs sales

Great shape 1403, good choice for warmed 318 or mild 360. Ran for years on my 360 and finally upgraded to a 1906. Currently jets/rods for 2 stages rich. Comes with new gaskets, choke wires, etc that come with new edelbrock. $200 shipped. Thanks for looking.

Carburetor sold, other items still available.

It has been together around 2 years, and i romp on it continually. I have around 15” vacuum at idle. I put the pink springs in and they helped. Which seems weird, there was no off-idle stumble issue. Smooth transition to partial or WOT. So far, rattling is gone. I think the carb is very lean...

Yeah I have been eyeballing the 650 avs2 for a long time, comes quite a bit richer out of the box. If my needle change (2 stages richer in power mode) is a step in the right direction I might just go ahead and pull the trigger on the new carb and start tuning that. Reading the Edelbrock...
