Good plan to do the tranny first.........that stock converter will be bending fins and a have a 3500 rpm stall in a couple of seconds of WOT with your proposed set up! ........But only after the lock up clutch is dust in the bottom of your pan!!!

hey ctd nut how is your trans holding with just the shift kit and tc.is your trans stock besides that.

Slightly off topic but in line with something mentioned earlier in this tread. My EGT's never get up to 1150 on a hard pull loaded heavy. It worrys me as if it is not correct I could cook the engine. Did the EV gages come at some point reading too low? And what is a good way to effectively check the accuracy of the gage? All the info is in the signature.

It is hard to get the EV gage above the line where the yellow starts and never goes much above it. I put a new probe in with this engine, the old engine and probe was probably 100 degrees higher, would go up to 1200 or so. This is the commercial engien though with the different cam.

Got Smoke?

Here you go Eric.

Classified Ad for 215's and he's in the same state as you!

I wonder if those are out of an auto truck or 5 spd

CTD NUT

No, the tranny is not quite stock.......it has aftermarket steel drums, an extra clutch disc in each pack and heavy duty planetaries.........The BD X-converter's lock up was barely holding on if I floored it while towing on the highway.......

Got Smoke: Well ill be darned. I know him well. I am supposed to be getting a torque converter from him, and his dad is doing my transmission work whenever he gets the converter. Ill have to ask him about those. Hes about 30 minutes from me. I bet i could get them for $75. Maybe 215's will be next.lol Heck. Knowing him, he would let me try them out, and take them back if i wasnt happy. Hes a good guy.

Haulin: Hmm. Sounds plenty low to me, but i dont know. I think my EGT's are to high, but i believe they are actually that high, and its not the probe or gauge or anything. Id say a different cam does make a difference though.

CTDNUT: yeah, my tranny is unhappy as it is, and before any more power, i need some tranny work for sure.

It has probably already been said, but what years have what hardware? I think I know about the injectors but not the delivery valves.



Does a 1997 auto have 181's??


please help as I have found a pair of 97 auto d/valves used and need to know if they are 181's or????



thanks alot

CTD NUT

To my knowledge, the only pump that had 181 dv's stock is the 215 pump which was only available in a 5spd truck..........97 auto has a 180 pump and I am not certain of the dv's - maybe the 167's?

jughead

i have 2 pumps on 180 hp engines and the dvs are marked 181. dont know if this is the size # or not. hope this helps. no they are not for sale.

SHARPMACHINE

Tahnks guys!!


Enyone else have any thoughts??
I realy want to give this guy an answer, thanks again.

SHARPMACHINE

so are all d/valves identified? If they come out of 1997 auto should they have a part # on them??


thanks

cumminsdriver635

Yeah, it would be nice to know what D.V.'s our pumps have stock.

My 181's came out of a 180pump

The 3 number designation is inscribed into the top of the delivery valve, pretty small but its there.

CTD NUT

I can confirm that the 160 hp pump on your truck has 131's stock.......too small to feed a decent injector..........
