TerryC>>> Holley sells after market fuel injections and so edelbrok, mine is the Holley 670 CFM 2D Projection TBI, installs easy and is a great system for older RV's that has a carb, go to Holley.com and check out there systems, you will like how a fuel injection works over a carb, starts better, runs better, better MPG, stops all vapor lock problems if you have any, my stock electronic ignition has not been a problem just the old wiring does need to be upgraded and check for loose grounds.

Just a note to check your 440. The 440-1 has different water chambers than the 440-3. If you do a motor job and just get the 440-1 head gaskets, these will block the cooling jackets around the cylinders. Also I have run into other gaskets that don't fit properly. Never realized that MOPAR made 2 styles of the 440, until I got my MH. From my research, the 440-3 was originally built for the military, for use on water pumps. This motor is a high torque low RPM engine. Therfore being built for mostly stationary use additional water jackets were cast into the block. As to the header issue, mine has Doug Thorley's feeding into a 4" exhaust. Power and heat are no issue since install. Actually mine now runs on the cold side. Here comes the "Chuck Wagon" |

When I bought my rv I had to drive it 900 miles to get it home, and the trans worked just fine for me. On my next adventure (100 miles round trip) the trans would not shift into 3rd on the way home. When I spoke with a transmission shop they said if I still have reverse (which I do) the trans is probably not bad there is something else going on. Any ideas? I am also looking at getting an Air Conditioner for the old rig. It is 27' and I don't know if I should get a 13.5K or a 15K. I don't know anything about motor homes so any information on this subject would be appreciated. I also want to get a generator to run the A/C unit for when I am not close to shore power. I do not want to get one that is directly bolted on, because I want to be able to use it in case of power outages up here in No.Dak. I want to buy a 'quiet' generator, but need it to power the new air conditioner. If anyone has a combination that works good for them, I would really like to know. Last, is there a way to run the Air Conditioner while rolling down the highway? Not extremely important, but would be nice. Thanks, Brady |

Nope. Reverse feels good.

I guess I'm not sure. I have only driven it twice since then and have been able to use reverse just fine. Do you think I should just take it in and have it rebuilt?

From the time you get the selector in R ... how long does it take for it to go into gear?
