Yes, see my previous post.:thumbsup:

That looks like a THM2004R. It has 16 pan bolts. AA is a Cadillac transmission.

TH-200-R4 ID's:

CZF ** Monte SS

Its a GM transmission. The only thing BOP about it is the bell housing. This page may help. Look at the pan shape and count the number of pan bolts. The picture of the tag you posted looks like a...

Looks like a THM400 out of an 1985 Cadillac. That would be a 3 speed. 85AA

None of the stock specs apply then, ESPECIALLY ignition timing. Lots of confusion out there about ignition timing. Most Buick distributors are set up so that at WOT, total advance is 30-34*. The...

It depends on which Rallye wheels you are talking about. The big car wheels are mostly 15 X 6" and have a 5 " bolt circle. The small car wheels are 15 X 7, and have a 4 3/4" bolt circle. See...

The OP is in Columbia. That's going to complicate things a bunch.

I don't think anyone uses the rope seal any more. The new covers come with a neoprene seal. TA performance sells the front seal here,

LA is a peg leg 8.2 10 bolt with 2.78 gears.

If you take the pump apart, you should check the gear protrusion and measure it as closely as possible. Then select the correct shim to give you as close to .002 end clearance as possible. While...

Absolutely not. All 400-430-455 timing covers are exactly the same. The only difference is the timing scale, some go 0-8, some 0-12, that's it. You tried to fit the high volume/high pressure gears...

I agree with Tom, the TA timing cover is much better than the Chineseum Proform. You get what you pay for. Just curious though, what do you mean when you say the pump gears don't fit. Can you be...

Oil pressure in most Buick engines depends on internal oil pump clearances. Being the timing cover is aluminum, and the gears, steel, clearances increase as the engine heats up and the aluminum...

Retarded timing is more likely to cause overheating, not advanced timing. The timing would have to be so far advanced that it was detonating, and I'm sure you would notice that. Most people only...

Modern aluminum alloys are superior to past materials. I have been running aluminum heads for 10 years with no problems at all. Warping is not a concern at all. I lost my alternator belt at the...

If you switch over to the large cap GM HEI, you need to replace the resistance wire in the engine harness. The GM HEI requires full time battery voltage.

Distributor shaft bushings can wear out and that results in the dwell going all over the place because the shaft is wobbling. Dwell effects timing, so your timing goes all over the place as well. ...

BBB 455 camshafts have an integral gear to drive the distributor, SBB 350 cams have a replaceable distributor gear. You can't use a 455 cam in the 350.

While it is true that you can swap gears on small and big block distributors and use them in either engine, the distributors across the years and different models differed in the amount of mechanical...

To add to what Steve said, the stock specs only apply if the engine has the same part number distributor it left the factory with. How likely is that in a 45-50 year old car? Lots of small block...

That is detonation/ping. Do you know what that sounds like?

Is the noise on the driver's side? All the lifters? Might just be a worn front cam bearing. Oil goes across the bearing from the passenger side galley to the driver's side lifter galley. When the...

A fuel problem acts differently than an ignition problem. A fuel problem usually chokes the engine slowly, you can feel it coming as the engine goes lean and then finally quits.
