Hey guys, I've got a problem, wonder if anyone can help... I built a 1990 318 LA roller cam motor to put in my '78 club cab P/U, put a used A518 automatic from a '94 magnum 318. Problem was when I put it in gear it would stall in reverse or any of the forward drive gears. In trying to find the problem I've been through trying to find vacuum leaks, adjusting timing, carb settings, replaced all electronic parts etc. finally took it to a trans shop they said bad torque converter. Well not knowing the condition of the used trans I went ahead and bought a new one and a new lock up converter, got them all installed and same problem. I am using the PATC kit to control OD and Lock up. It seems to me the converter is stuck in lock up, how do I disengage it? or check that the solenoid is working?
