no drive !!!
help
we have a 476 alcohol bbc rail,ran low 8,s last year on gas.we stepped up on our powerglide transmission for this season, aftermarket case,vasco planeteries and shafts,blue printed pump,10 plate clutch etc etc the whole nine yards.Our local expert put it together,but no drive,in any gear. the pick up is under oil,[extended pan and pickup] the torque convertor is engaged on the pump, the lever pin is in the valve spool but no pressure in any form,no oil out of the bottom cooler port. Took the glide out again,gave it to a local builder,he found no pressure relief valve in the pump !!, put it back,still no drive [!!**%}.The turbo spline shaft,8"convertor and sportsman valve are from last year,ran 4 x 8.40s within a hundreth,parked it with no problems. I,m tearing whats left of my hair out,the nieghbours are ready to kill me,[enderle injection,30"zoomies] and my wife wants to go racin.This is all high end expensive parts,no ebay junk so any idea's,thoughts or theory's would be gratefully welcome.........thanks....Pat

GEE---DOES IT HAVE A DRIVESHAFT INSTALLED!!!! ops: ops: ops:
CAN YOUR BUILDER TEST IT AT HIS SHOP?? MOST CAN ON A PORTABLE STAND.--IF ALL YOU CHANGED WAS THE PUMP THEN I WOULD KEEP CHECKING THERE---IS THE FILTER FULL OF JUNK?IS THE TRANS FULL OF FLUID?--SOMETIMES SIMPLE THINGS CAN DRIVE YOU CRAZY :? :? :?

No sir,there is no movement in the drive shaft at all,foward or back,not even a kick when you move the shift lever at 2200 rpm, yes i have a drive shaft,fluid,filter, spool movment,all the normal stuff you check, All i can see is the pan fluid leval is not going down,no fluid from either cooler ports and no rotation on the output shaft. I,m a aerospace tool & die,started racing in 1966 and this has me stumped.thanks for the tip on missing ports,thats my next try......Pat
