hmmm..... ok.

I had 1 buddy send me a link for a coil [4 or 5 feet] of 3/16" teflon vacuum line, so i ordered that.

sure enough, the next day im out looking for 3/8" aluminum fuel line and i find 60" of 3/16" brake line, so i picked that up, took it home, pulled tans out, installed dipstick tube, made the bends in the brake line and used that for my vacuum line to the carb.
Looks good.

Now the only thing holding me up is finding a longer drive shaft to have cut down.

just to make sure we are on the same page, you got one WHAT exactly?
a drive shaft? how long is it? i need one atleast 5 or 6" longer than my stock drive shaft, and how are you measuring it? ive been told the same yoke [?] that went in my 700R4 should work with the Th350 as well, but i havent tried slipping it in yet to verify.

and for the other guy, nah, im not using the teflon line now, after i ordered that the very next day i found steel line and already have that installed now.

got my new 15x4 rims/tired mounted today.
ran my trans coolant lines last night. also going to install a trans cooler, needed to pick up some more of the radiator zip ties, got those today.

im also screwing around with starters. the starter i had in the Camaro got put in my 94 Silverado when its stock mini starter went kaput, i ordered another mini starter, put that in the Camaro and it hits the headers. It also hangs on the flywheel, with or without the shims. So, im gonna try pulling the starter back out of the truck and all though the starters look 99% identical, see if that one still works ok in the Camaro and put the one im having troubles with in the truck. and/or see about getting the stock truck mini starter rebuilt, its actually smaller than the mini starters im focking around with.

Dont even get me started about the headache im having finding an alternator bracket to work with my Vortec heads/intake manifold and short water pump.

I have a shaft from a TH400 in a G-body I bought it from my buddy just to use the yoke so I took that off. It's like 4-5" longer than the one I got for a TH400. It's perfect to have shortened.

What starter are you using now?

cool, lets see if it will work then, you want to take it to a UPS store and send it COD or how you wanna do this?

i took the starter i had in my truck [that was originally in my Camaro] and reinstalled it back in the Camaro, turned over fine, no problems. Now i got to see if i can install the other one in the truck and see if it binds up on it too. the starters look 99% identical, trippy.

was getting late tonight but i thought id try to start the motor, got a backfire out the carb, will screw with it more tomorrow.

can email directly if you want

Backfires out the carb are the norm when a new combo is together. Mine did it like 20 times while setting timing and shit lol
