Dont assume the trans needs rebuilt yet...you have more issues than that. I would start with checking vacuum fittings all over. There is one that is on the drivers side of the trans which connects a tube to the Modulator; often overlooked. One vacuum leak and you trans wont shift correctly and you will not have full power. Just get several feet of the vacuum hose and get some injector return line as well because you will need it when you remove injectors. The engine appears to have life left and do not discount your trans just yet. We will help you, this is a great group of people!

Injectors and nozzles could very well be original. I am looking at having Sean Watts rebuild mine with new nozzles but he has not responded to my PM.
