Its not tuned yet. I had to swap out the distributors. My motor and harness had the tfi mounted on the fender. So I had to swap distributors with your motor which also ment I had to swap gears as mine is a roller motor. And I never checked the timing. But even with not doing that it seemed to run well.

Only thing I don't like and I had the same issue with my other trans and harness/setup is that it doesn't have any power in 4hi or 2hi. Trying to drive obstacles it seems like it stalls the trans out. But I had the same complaint with my old setup. I guess the 5.38s and 4ds aren't a good match.

I am gonna redo all the lines and warranty my front calipers. I had a aftermarket booster/master combo from Summit. The master was bad, I got a 96 f250 Master and modified it to fit the booster which gave me some braking back. When I installed all the nylon lines I overtightened the compression fittings, so I replaced all those. But I also had to get an adapter for my rear calipers and retap my fronts. I think the adpaters and the rethreaded front ports are what is giving me the issues.

Automasters selection sucks. Guess I'll be ordering online.

I contacted the company that makes the master cyl. on Friday. They have in big logos 24/7 tech support on their site but only a link to open a tech ticket with them no phone number. So I opened a ticket. I have yet to hear from them :sonicjay:.

what MC do you have? You have to watch the pressure ratings with assisted or boosted MCs

I am running the same calipers and brakes as what I was prior. I am now also running the same master cyl as before. The booster and lines are whats different on this rig. I dont feel its a booster issue. Only leaves one option. Again I think its the threads at the calipers giving me the issues.

Bore of the new master is 1.125 (or same as my old one).
