i might be wrong but i think those are test ports to troubleshoot the older trans.

87 K5 Build...Hmmm, whats that Ryoken up to? stay tuned...

Yeah, I was just joking about that, but the early cases have a test port for every gear. They were there for diagnosis purposes.

I knew you where busting chops....
was my assessment of how the pressure gauge will act, correct, ya think? that it'll be a consistent say, 210 psi or whatever, with a bit of fluctuation at the shifts?
I built a pretty bad ass TH700R4 in college. Had every upgrade, plus a reverse manual valve body and clutch brake. It was an early case, and we ran it on the dyno, but that was so long ago, I really don't remember.
I think you should be correct, but I am not guaranteeing that.
I know on 15 speed powershifts in John Deeres, they have all kinds of test ports, and they are very helpful for diagnosis. Most of them just had quick couple connectors though, so you just temporarily hook up gauge sets.

how'd that run? what'd ya put it in?
Ran great on the dyno! It is still sitting in the shop up at my old man's farm. The car I built it for belonged to a buddy, and he wrecked it.

hmmmm, I'll re-type this one for future readers, musta got caught up in the rolled over, flaming server crash!
this was a brainfart, disregard.... after re-looking at my plumbing diagram, all the AN stuff is on the return side, so it'll see 50, 60 psi.... the pressure side will be JIC and 2200 psi hose....
Is the pressure side so high because of hydro boost? What is normal?
Paul have you checked out LONG coolers?
I just got mine and they are pretty nice.

pressure sides are always what i said, it's based on the pump.. usually 5 to 700, but upwards of a grand... i'm guessing a run of the mill tired stock pump might be as low as a couple hundred...
I was looking around at other coolers the other night, but forgot about those, i'll have to take a peek... i'll be hardpressed not to go with the Earl's, like i said, i ran one and was highly impressed with quality and it's capability per inch.. the Fluidynes are nice looking too, but big bucks...
a ton of it has to do with needing/wanting specific dimensions/configuration...
just got a MONSTER electric bill from heating the dungeon, so i've got a couple weeks to shop/mull it over....

whats an estimate of how much you have put into this thing since you started this thread? If you dont mind me asking?? lol
Well I've got a newer stock pump, but might as well get a "built" line while I need to get one anyway, then I'll be good for future upgrades.
My electric went up about 35$/month and I pay flat rate every month. I got into the red in a hurry this year it seems. Fab stuff, and more heat I guess??? To me its worth every penny to walk into a relatively comfortable shop though.
probably about 20 g's.... maybe a bit under that...
it'll be 25ish when it comes back on the road... and it'll be 40ish, at least, in the end...
I
I ran an extra $150 a month in dec and jan with the new heater... i wasn't surprised, and expected it... with all the paint work, etc over x-mas and on a daily basis it was bound to happen...

You are my idol.... Lol
What do you do for a living? And dont tell me theirs a lady involved lol. Mine would kill me if i spent this much time and money on a vehicle lol.
I'm a marine mechanic... and don't be mistaken, I am by NO means well off... I take home about 8, 900 a week... I've just lived like a pauper the last 2, 3 yrs... pay the bills, everything else goes in the rig.... heck, I DD a 1988 Chevy Nogo. 
hopefully i can have a productive diligent weekend, lot's on the plate...

Well now im inspired lol
alright, just a little step by step stuff to show you guys the bs i have to go thru on all these custom installs...
the grill is effectively done, mounting tabs are in, etc... just wanna give it a quickie light sandblast.. prime, paint....
but here's what i've had to do for rock solid mounting... front lip of the rad support, modded with 1/8 plate tabs sectioned in... once the mounts are all done, i'll clamp the grill in place, drill 3/8" holes and weld nuts to the back....
and here's the hardware i'll be running into the welded nuts...
hopefully i can get some blasting done tomorrow... the rad support needs a bunch more too... actually i hope the wind keeps up somewhat as it'll help with sandblasting.... keeps moving everything "away" from ya....
