I changed the plug wires to MSD. Now how good clearance. Engine idles well. There is still some surging, so I suspect the PCM needs some tuning. Maybe need to drive a few more miles and see what happens. About 45 miles on car at this point.

Now have 55 miles on car. Transmission dead. No drive, no reverse, engine just revs. Happened while driving down the road. Was able to coast out of the main road onto a side street.

Since I didn't like the 9" TC, guess I will get a normal street type TC. I'm leaning toward the GMHP 4L70E, SuperMatic transmission with the matching GM TC 11" about 2400 Stall. I'll probably wait until September to swap the trans/TC . It's too hot right now to work in my garage right now and I just tore my GF's 280ZX completely apart in my basement shop.

About the 9" TC, I'm either accelerating like a old lady or repaving the road two strips at a time. There is no inbetween acceleration, it's fairly slow or up in smoke. Maybe the 9" TC would be a good for use with slicks on the strip, but strip use was not my intention. I wish to accelerate quickly without spinning the tires. The current TC would have really sucked for running an autocross.
