    1989 C1500, EGR, Headers Question

    So we have a little information but not really enough to be of any real help. For example, we know you have a new distributor, oil pressure sensor and coolant temp sensor. There are two of these, one for the gauge/light, one for the computer. Which did you replace? How many miles on the engine...

    1995 7.4 454 glowing exaust manifolds.

    What's "HOT"? Because the exhaust manifolds get red? Under sustained high engine speeds, they may get hot enough to glow a bit. What is the actual water temp? Is the tail pipe black and sooty? Any black smoke coming out of it? As was asked before, how is the throttle response? A good indicator...

It kinda crept up on me that it wouldn't rev to save its life. Also has the Flowmaster one in / two out exhaust. It would struggle to get to 4k RPM or so. Went...

    Valve cover/Cylinder head weirdness

    GoToGuy hit it before I did. No Magnafluxing of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum. Also, "Racing Valve Job"? WTF does that mean? Suggest that you find another engine guy.

    Transmission acting weird

    My 92 did the same thing, stuck in first gear no matter what I did. Turned out the TV cable itself was actually stuck in the transmission, in the all the way out position. While I am a mechanic I had a local trans shop look at it and do the repairs. Automatic transmissions are magic "Go forward...
