Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Larry, your pink car is awesome, a true muscle car gem, IMHO and I am a diehard GM racer. That being said, do you still have the low qualifier 1/2 ton pick up truck ?

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I should be back to Dumbo today. Finding a drive train vibration should be fun. TIR the drive shaft, yoke movement, flexplate check, and the rest.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
All I have to do on this thread is thank everyone that helped. That is going to take a while and being the age I am I will forget or not mention some one who has helped. After three years of work I forgot some stuff, please do not be offended.
This weekend we were able to meet our performance goals on an eighth mile. Thanks to all! |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
It could have been several things. I changed the drive shaft position and decreased TIR by .007, installed new tail shaft bushing, installed new bushing in front drum, and changed converters. I'm not sure what it was but it's gone. The converter in the car now is quicker the the one that was in it so the chances of that converter going back in the car are slim.
The good thing is the vibration is ok. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The trans we destroyed in Dumbo is fixed and on the way back home.
All parts in trans were junk, rear ring gear, rear planet, rear sun gear, sun shell, front sun shell, front sun gear, front planet gear, front ring, all bearings, forward drum, direct drum, bands, clutches and steels, rollers, gasket, seals and filter. Hp is good to have but has a cost. We are looking forward to going to Belle Rose in November to race it at the open. Jeff and I have a small wager on this race to add a little excitement. Hope to see a lot of friends at this race so y'all come on down |
