rpms when shifting into gear is ?

Rpms in N is ??

both engines doing the exact same thing here ? both showing the same rpms as well ?

Never stalls in N and you can throttle up and back down to idle rpm without it ever stalling in N using throttle only ?

stock OEM set up here ?

SCX drive or just gear lube bottles --- so something on the engine is not stock at all to warrrant an SCX drives if applicable . What the set up in detailed here.

How new is the IMCO drive bottles install ?

this happens on the water hose also ?

Stock ignition ?

whats the voltage readings when engines stalls ? and what is the voltage when you shift into gear ? what is voltage reading in N - still want to know what rpms are ?

rpms are 850 in neutral and 750 in gear.

Both engines show the same rpm and only having an issue with one motor.
Once I get passed the shift I have no issues throttling up or back down. Doesn't happen every time and only happens at idle.
non stock set up - 540's with Prochargers.
I've been running this motor set up with SCX drives for the past 3 seasons.
Havent run it on the hose as boats in the water.
Running MSD boxes.
Havent checked voltage yet - planning to look at it again today

Sounds like bad ground somewhere...

Thats a whole different world for testing and trying to figure out whats wrong NOT BEING STOCK AT ALL. Nothing is stock period. Dart throwing for the fix. I did asked what was voltage readings so monitor it

is this an CARB or EFI set up ? Alot of info needs to be known to even come close for a fix.

Looks like the issue is the throttle position sensor. Anyone know if this is a standard GM part that might be available at a local auto parts store?

I was trying to be funny with is carb or efi question - attempted humor by far ----- anyways

So you scanned the engine ?

Try to mach up with an AC delco part number - I forgot what that part number is.
