So I took the vette out on it's first highway run this morning. It was awesome! Still haven't gotten the timing dialed in perfect, but that probably won't happen until Lars rebuilds the carb...it's running a little rich. But that's ok.
Q1)
After getting gas, I was going through the gears at low speed to test the shifting as discussed in the transmission thread...
D - acted as figured.
Down shifted to 2 and the RPM's increased....as figured.
Down shifted to 1 and the RPM's dropped considerably. Almost like going into an over drive.
Not sure what to think about that. To me a reverse valve body would go 1 2 3. This almost feels like a 2 1 3.
At 60, I was hitting about 2300 RPM. That seems high to me with 3:08 rear gears.
Q2)
I don't remember what it was called, but my vacuum sucks. I can barely get the headlights to open/close. If someone can remind me what it's called so I can research it, I need to get that vacuum magnifier...
