    Throttle and kick down bracket for Edelbrock Thunder AVS Performer series 1403 carburetor with a TH200c, 3 gears not to be confused with 4 gears.

    I’m going to give Edelbrock a call in the morning, but I don’t think they’ll have an answer for me.

    So, at a stop light/stop sign, about 5psi, which means I probably have nothing at the rockers which terrifies me, but when it’s in neutral it has 10-12 psi I think. It’s now been a couple days since I’ve driven it, As far as the oil light, I never trust them. And it might work but I doubt it...

    So as far as the oil pump being installed if you’re referring to the gears being packed with petroleum jelly and then I did make sure I had oil coming out of all the rockers when priming it before I started the engine.

    So I have 3.8l 231 V6 non turbo 87 regal, the engine has 187k+ on it. For engine oil pressure at 1600-2000 rpm’s it’s at around 20 psi on cruise. Idle is about 12 at 1000 rpms. But at stop lights when I’m in gear the pressure drops below 10 psi. I did the timing chain cover, I replaced the oil...
