Hardly to no creep at idle

[Novette_71]

enough wrenching, today my nova saw daylight .....damn time after 11 years full resto.

up to now i just drove a bit forward and reverse to see if i have any flaws. i recognized when i put it in reverse or drive that i have no creep ....

i let my engine idle a bit higher the trans engages softly like a manual clutch and the car moves. i am not having a small converter, it is a TCI street fighter just as it came in a package.

it is a 402 small block with a not too aggressive mechanical hydraulic roller cam and i have bigger 215 dart heads. the engine just sounds great like a race car but since the braking makes a poor performance impression on those 30 feet back and forth i believe the vaccum in just too low.

the vaccum line from the trans is conncted to the manifold directly.

hmm, so any thoughts ?

do i ruin my trans right now because some pressure is not building up properly in the trans and my brake bands slip all the time ?? anyone having the same situation ?

thanks ...



(i am still lacking the cowl and some minor moldings i know i know .... hope you like it anyways)
