    Any estimates on how much it should cost to get valves, springs, etc., installed on bare heads? Thanks~

    Help identifying Edelbrock heads...

    Hey guys, My buddy's got a pair of Edelbrock heads he wants to sell me, but they came off the car after he bought it and he thought they were RPMs, I think they're just performers. The casting on the end of the heads says "Performer 5.0L" under that is "EO-D-215-10". The Edelbrock website...

    oil pressure drops as car warms up.

    From my understanding, those #'s are not good at all. I just put an autometer in my car last week as my stock gauge #'s scared me. The min. acceptable # as I understand it is 20+ @ hot idle. It should be around 50 @ cold idle. Then normal driving should be 45-60. I would double check and...

    How'd you mount your Corbeau seats?

    I used the recaro (same thing) brakets that were on the Celica they came out of, and just drilled new holes in them to accept the stock brackets. Sits just fine, plus my seats are adj. for height up to 3-4" either way~

    Can I bypass the heater core to lower H20 temps??

    And Daggar (if indeed you haven't started bypassing my posts already), if you'll notice in my first post, although I gave a brief history, my ONLY question was if "you think bypassing it might lower temps." I wasn't asking for diagnosis help, as I know what other issues exist, and therefore...

    Can I bypass the heater core to lower H20 temps??

    Wow. That's devestating. Truly, truly harsh. :( I don't know what to say... Sorry I wasted your time w/ my incomplete inquiries.... Next time just pass me by and let someone else waste their time; I won't mind.

    Can I bypass the heater core to lower H20 temps??

    well, blend door works, i checked that out. I know coolant level gets low from the broken bolt leak. And heater core's never been replaced (88), so it's prob. clogged up anyway...

    MSD 6A beneficial/worth it for near-stock combo?

    All I have is P heads milled to give about roughly 10:1 CR, full exhaust, built AOD, 4.10's, expolrer intake... Would the cost of an MSD benefit me at all, whether it's MPG, SOTP, etc., or should I wait for a bigger need (power adder)? Thanks~ Jeremy

    Can I bypass the heater core to lower H20 temps??

    Well, water pump is new. Rad was replaced as well, but you're right, it's the 4 cyl. unit. Deflector is still there. I do have a coolant leak from a broken water pump bolt, so there are air pockets from time to time. Today I took a hour and a half drive 2 ways on the highway, from 65-80 mph...

    Can I bypass the heater core to lower H20 temps??

    yeah, it's still there. Good shap? I don't know... It's a little wavy and ugly, but not cracked or broken...

    Can I bypass the heater core to lower H20 temps??

    yeah it's a sunpro; not the best, but accurate, as when it has overheated due to low coolant from a broken bolt, it's been right in in alerting me...

    Can I bypass the heater core to lower H20 temps??

    I've since replaced both hoses from the water tubes to the core, so I think the restrictors are gone... The water seems to flow OK thru the core, and I have flushed the whole system, so I'm kind of at a loss... :(

    Did detonation blow my HG?

    Track opens April 1st. I'm still hesitant to go, as I blew my HG last year and still don't quite know why... But I've been thinking, and I'm probably stupid for not giving this any consideration before, but on several of my runs last year, I remember hearing random 'ticks". They weren't a loud...

    Can I bypass the heater core to lower H20 temps??

    My synopsis is: Temps rise to 195ish on the highway, and usually stay around 180 on the streets. Michael Yount suggested it was a flow problem, either rad. or jeater core. As I have no heat (warm, but def. not hot), I think it's a clogged up H/C anyway. I flushed it last year and it helped...

    How can I tighten up steering slop?

    well, I'm def. lowered (2"). Now criticman, when you say bushings, do you mean for the tie-rod ends or smething else? I'll have to research the rag joint thing...

    How can I tighten up steering slop?

    If I'm driving in a straight line down the road, I can turn my wheel one inch in either direction, fast or slow, and the car won't move at all. Anthing wrong here? It feels really precarious, especially at high speeds, like I don't have control, especially at the track. Is there any one or two...

    Worked Performer RPM heads and intake overkill for stock cam/block?

    the big reason I haven't changed the cam is that I had the P's milled 0.030", and am worried about p-to-v clearance maving milled the heads. If I swapped heads again, i would feel more comfortable camming it... Wouldn't the slightly larger valves and any porting work done to them, combined w/...
