Re: Project: LS1ick68

I finally got a few things taken care of and it finally stopped raining here long enough, so I took her for the first test drive on Saturday. The engine feels very strong, but I still need to set the correct timing curve and tune the carb.

The first obstacle before fixing all that is getting the trans working right. It won't upshift. It stays in first gear. The guy that built it is planning to come check it out on Tuesday night. He said there's a valve that tends to stick closed after they have sat for a while that will keep it from shifting. He said he may have to remove the valve body to release it manually.
