So I finally had everything read to take the car mustang out after the engine rebuild and rewiring. But I noticed a couple issues and need some help.
1. My intake vac is at 15 inches, but I was told this could be normal with a stage-1 cam (I don't have specs available right now). Its steady and sometimes pulses + or - 0.5 (I have not checked acceleration/deceleration) (@~800 rpm park idle)
2. When i go from park idle (800 rpm) to gear (drive or reverse) my rpms drop to about 400. Could this be timing or vacuum leak?
3. When I was driving, I get a noise from (eeerrrrrrr) from the tranny I think and it does not seem to want to shift out. I will be at 2000 rpm and I just dont get much acceleration. The guy I bought it from said it has a 3500 stall converter and shift kit, so could I just not be hitting it hard enough?
Any tips would help, this is my first rebuild and first car with a carb I have ever worked on.
