pump noise?

Well I am just a problem magnet. My mom used my truck today to move some stuff it was a little over 100 degrees today and I live at about 4500 feet above sea level in MT and my motor was about 10.7 to 1 compression. I now have no vacuum while cranking bum bum bum. 4th gear will have to wait. Thanks for your help man you've actually taught me alot People like you help make this world a decent place. Have a good one!

Don't think I said it ate the torque converter couple weeks ago, since then shes been goin downhill. But I went junkyard shoppin today and now have eveerything but a clutch, it is special order and won't be in for a week. I got the manual linkage so thats gonna be fun, looks to me like the master cylinder on the 77 I took parts from is closer to the center of the firewall, but Im not really sure, gonna look into that. This T-5 may not last too long but Ill be ready for a muncie if I can ever find one I can afford. haha but I like the idea of having a 2.18 second gear and a .72 final though. Should make a nice driver out of her, just in time to park it for winter!!!
 
Well got the T5 put in today. It a PITA to say the least. Took all my free time over 2 days at work!! But I have all 5 gears!! I did not however have the flywheel that I bought at a junkyard resurfaced. I believe this is causing my new problem. It seems that the clutch won't fully disengage. At first It wanted to roll with the clutch depressed, and couldn't change gears with it running. Then after a little brake, plus gas, the issue started to fade. So I'm hopeful that this problem "fixes itself".
 
Not sure exactly what you mean it has manual linkage, fork and bearing from a 77 k10. I took her for a short drive on the interstate today, went great, 75 is a whoppin 1700 rpms!
 
Ok, I was going to suggest maybe an adjustment would help the clutch not fully disengaging.

Will it pull 75 ok at 1700?
 
Oh yeah just not up any kinda grade. And that .7 extra in first is a whole lotta fun!!
I even went to a piece of all-thread to get more throw out of the clutch, no luck. Its getting better the more I run it, so either it'll be toast in a week or it'll be fine haha!
 
Well a few hundred miles later including some firewood hauling, up a mountain, I love this setup. I'm not at all sure what happened but at first my clutch pedal throw was extremely stiff. To the point that my linkage got bent all out of shape. Eventually it stopped releasing the clutch and got hung up on the headers. I took it to work so i could get underneath it and bent everything back. Then I got in it and the pedal throw was normal and it works flawlessly except the new throwout bearing is making noise. Oh well It's held up to some pretty good abuse so far. I am thinking about some 3.08 gears though. hopefully there are a few pics so you an see what you been workin on!

I lack rocker panels, lower door skins, mis matched fenders, and a rotted out bondo job on the bed side. Nice powered rally wheels with all the trim and centers though and the truck is not missing and emblem or trim. (donor panels say diesel too lol) 6.2L hood ornament too.
