[QUOTE=fredd1;1604663093] it seems unlikely your fuel lines are mixed up or reversed.

Borlas

I like the Borlas on mine but I choose them because they're 304 stainless, not that much different sound than the originals though.

700r4 rebuild cost

My '84 transmission is leaking badly. What would be a fair price for a full rebuild, remove, re-install, test, including the TC?

I'm not sure about the grounding. There are only two wires on the pump connection, a hot one and a ground. The ground wire on the unit I installed only connects to the tubes with a weld or braze.
