Look at the other topic about smoke by "cam/fast". He says that the fix is a new http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-7052A 1&comp=LRS one of those. I'll see if my parts store has any in stock.

mine has already slowed down. i quickly ran it to 100 mph last night with NO smoke.
I'll check the fluid soon

If your tranny has way too much fluid in it, it will come out (Obviously) and get onto the mid-pipe. When I put my last tranny in, I had my brother put the fluid in it while I went up stairs to take care of something. He put in 4qts. Shit smoked like hell for about 2 days.

I figured out MY problem
had nothing to do with the tranny, not a drop of tranny fluid under my car. it was oil! my dip stick tube was not inserted into the block all the way. I first noticed that there was no oil on the passenger side under the car, just on the drivers side, then i noticed it was all over the lower bell houseing plate thing (forgot what its called) so then i saw the stupid dip stick tube sticking out about 1/2". It was kinda a PITA to get it in there, but i did and its good now
i hate the dipsticks on our cars

Haha. Glad to see you got it fixed, could have caused some MAAJOOORR headaches if it wasn't.
You know the hose from the oil fill tube that runs to your air intake? If that gets a kink in it, it'll blow your dipstick out. Just ask my power steering fluid cap thats covered in oil about it.

yeah i found that out when i first rebuilt the motor about 6 months ago. i had mine plugged, and had a breather cap with no outlet on it. no i have a new breather and hose going to the cai, no more dipstick problems :boink:
I was at the racetrack one night and I noticed it kept blowing out, tried to fix the hose but it was impossible. So I grabbed one of a drag racer's best friends, a zip tie! lol Zip tied it down and kept on racing, fixed it a few days later. The zip tie is still hanging there just incase it ever happens again :thumb:
