Transmissions are a confusing thing.
I was the one that on a prior post put the carb and intake on the 93 Suburban to replace the TBI
Works good.
We went 150 miles south yesterday to get another vehicle and my dad said ( Who said it was going to be real bad on gas?) I said I did. He thinks it is better then the TBI. I still dont believe it but if it is worse then not by much that I can tell.
The only problem with it is it has a harsh 1 to 2 shift. The rest of the shifts a smooth.
We can live with it because it is now just a yard vehicle and maybe an emergency vehicle if the other "new to us" vehicle breaks down.
It would be nice if I could figure out why the harsh shift though. I have the MAP hooked to ported vacuum. The other alternative would be to live with it as is or put a THM 400 3 speed we got in another junker we have here in it.
I dont need the exercise right now to tranny swap so I think I will figure out how to calm that shift in my spare time.
Any ideas?
P.S Alan
We found the correct center head for the 93. No drilling involved. Thanks for the heads up. My father had just given it away with a bunch of other scrap not 9 months ago. We bought it back for $20 with a q-jet on it.
Thanks for the help

Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
