Getting ready to hit the road in a few hours. (160 some miles) :driver:
Going to spend the night at my Dad's in Sterling Hts.
So I can have the M880 / M101A2 combo on sight well before 9am Friday morning. (as has been requested for Friday's TACOM picnic)
Also as I read it, the AoDMP summer...
With the annual GLMVPA show & swap coming up here the 3rd 4th & 5th at General Jims Surplus in Clare Michigan. www.GeneralJims.com

or a M36A2 bed headin West thru Ohio & North through Michigan

Unless the mid 80's diesel TH400's are different than the 70's
I have mine set for a 5500 rpm shift...
A 383's gonna have more torque than a 350 because of the longer stroke.
If your rocker arm ratio is bigger than 1.5 that could put it past the limits of a stock TC
Did you put a new or used carb on? If used / not freshly rebuilt, then that is probably the issue.
Oh and if your rear brakes are...
A M109
