As in my previous post, I see several people saying fuel. It may not be a bad idea to spend the 30 minutes to check the push rod or fuel pump. I am not sure of the correct length, but I am sure that someone on here does. Don't do like I did last year. Do you remember the "383 sounds like a diesel" thread that I had? Right off the bat, everyone was saying that it was a timing problem, but I knew that it was not because I personally seen the timing marks were lined up when the timing chain was installed. To make a long story short, after much denial on the timing issue and about $500.00 later, I finally popped the timing cover and discovered that I used the wrong timing mark on the crank gear. It was about 4 teeth off. Spent $20.00 on a new timing gasket set and she runs like a top. Lesson learned . Thanks - 69rrvert



I'm not ruling out a fuel issue as of yet, but my gut tells me it's something else, as i said my symptoms do not point to a fuel pump, since a hard pull WOT from 65mph to 110mph is no problem, not even a miss. It's just on a kickdown. I would think that fuel is not a problem if the car can haul up to 110mph no issues???? The problem is instant, not like every fuel issue i had before where it was not as instant. It's hard to explain, but the best way i can explain it is with this situation: Driving at 50mph, floor it, kicks down, 2 secs later when it hits about 3600rpm, instant half power; back off so it shifts into 3rd, then kickdown again, and it's fine (usualy), and will pull hard until the 3rd shift comming in about 60mph.????
