well I barely installed the trans....Before I got my truck it was already converted to a 700r4 set up. I reused the tv cable and the tv cable bracket. The tranny that I removed was a 87 model and the one that I just put in was an 89.The tv cable for the 89 was too short so I reused the one from the 87 or whatever year it was from. I just did a tune up and it sounded better.I have yet to drive it with new plugs,wires,etc. It is weird how first goes in like butter and second kinda lags....I think I need a tach installed also so that I know that the trans is going in when it should. My set up right now is kinda hard to tell because of the 350 sb ,huge headers,and the loudest flowmasters I have ever heard......In other words....cant guesstimate by the engine sound what my rpms are due to the freedom of alot of exhaust noise.
