Do you have any freeplay in your clutch pedal? It sounds like it needs to be adjusted if it starts to grab 1/3 of the way from the top and you don't even press it all the way down to change gears. Last time my clutch pedal was adjusted that high I ended up burning through the clutch pretty...
Once my car gets near operating temp it starts to emit smoke from the exhaust while sitting at idle or cruising in 1st at low RPMs. Driving at normal speeds it's fine, there is no smoke, and decel seems ok too even though I usually just take it out of gear. The stock twins are still boosting...
Not every backfire will have a flame. It only happens to me when the exhaust is hot after boosting. My best friend helped me move and after following my car he said it shot 2 big flames, pretty sure it happened right after boosting.
You're still not waiting. Wait about 2 seconds after pressing the clutch pedal. THEN put it in Reverse. As long as your fluid is full and your transmission is in good working order it should not grind!
With a 3" exhaust and timing set to 12 degrees BTDC my car would pull till right before redline. Optimal shift point was about 6350 rpms.
On the ol GE of course.
Speedo cable probably needs to be replaced. Happened to me and lots of others. Buy a known working one from a member/get one from a junkyard and swap it out.

You must wait after pushing the clutch in for the gearset to stop spinning. Takes about 2 seconds. Read the thread super secret club posted, it's like 2 threads above this one
This thread should be stickied. I now press the clutch in and wait a sec or 2, if it doesn't go in smooth, I just let the clutch out a bit till it slips right in.
We definitely did overcomplicate it :rofl:
