I posted this same thread on automotive forums, but i'd like as many opinions as possible.

Well the engine itself seems to be running strong and constant now. Its the trans thats worrying me! In overdrive or drive, there is a late and slow shift into 3rd. I have yet to go faster into overdrive for fear of burning up the trans. If I start out using the "manual" shift pattern(1, 1-2-1, D) its shifts solid and quick, damn near perfect. I'm thinking a little TV adjustment might help but this is NOT my expertise. One of my fellow racing buddies(he has like an 87 Monte SS built up) came over today and he said that you could adjust it by feel, versus using a line pressure gauge. Something along the lines of pulling the throttle lever to wide open and adjusting it so its just tight? Any thoughts on that?

Secondy I can smell gas in the oil, not a hell of a lot, but its there. I guess I'll pull the plugs tomorrow and check em out. Any thought on that?

I have the fuel pressure, tps, idle, and timing adjusted right. Timing is set at 10* for now, fp w vacuum disconnected at 40 psi, tps is at .98(was at 1.28!) and the idle is at 950rpm.

Last but not least, sorry to be so long, the oil pan is leaking AGAIN! I guess me and oil pan gaskets just dont mix!
