    Trickflow intake users...What fittings under the upper did you use??

    I installed threaded metal plugs into the intake and plugged all 4 ports. The one that the booster hooks to I left alone. I took the bigger port by the TB and made my own vacuum tree, which hides the vacuum lines and looks a lot cleaner. It's also much easier to r/r the intake mani when I need...

    Eliminating the Distributor?

    If you decide to keep the OEM computer you will need a tuner, like the tweecer, and if you want to make changes to the spark tables, it's only a click away. No need for a timing light; I haven't touched mine in a couple years. It literally takes seconds to make changes, especially if you are...

    AC......cool/not cool

    I was just going to say you need to bypass your LPS and HPS to see if they are the culprits. You can buy a gauge at autozone to test the low side pressure if you think you may be low on charge and add some if necessary. Scott

    Battery

    IIRC we use "group 58" batteries on our cars. Very small. The sticker on the battery will tell you for sure. Scott

    electrical woes

    You may also want to check your connections at the battery, engine/motor mount grounds, and your main alternator connections. A DC amp clamp on the alternator's positive wire going to the battery terminal will tell you how many amps the alt. is putting out. You may also want to check your...

    URGENT: Speedometer gear

    Go to a Chrysler dealership. They will have it in stock; the white 23 tooth "mini" gear. It's not cheap ($25 I think) but it will do the job. Mine has lasted 20k miles so far just fine. Scott

    Why do local parts stores look at a T/B stud and instantly get confused?

    They are 5/16-18 threaded studs. If you install 2 nuts on one of the studs, and back one stud out of the TB, you can measure the length and make some calls from the phone book. I know for a fact that they are 5/16-18 thread and even a good ace hardware should have something that will work. If...

    Front Main Seal Problem

    Well I did some searching but to no avail. My front crank seal is spraying oil everywhere. The timing cover and seal are brand new. Installation of the seal went without a hitch. It has leaked ever since day one. I am wondering if there is something else I can do except replacing the seal...

    IS THIS A GOOD AFTERMARKET MAF SENSOR

    They are the company that took over for pro-m. they are definitely the best out there. They also have good transfer curves if you have a custom tuner. Scott

    HELP PLZ

    Check your oil and make sure it doesn't look like chocolate milk. Water/coolant in the oil will smoke in the same manner. Scott

    Difference Between Mid-Pipes?

    IIRC the only difference is ours has the port for the smog tube and the fox's do not. I believe fox's headers are the same except the EGR exhaust bung as well. But do some searching on this forum first on here to confirm what I say before you buy. I am not 100% sure. I know there has been...

    Inertia switch

    PIP's are known for their heat problems after time. After you ensure your ignition is ok, you might want to look there next. Good luck. Could this be a ignition module problem also JT?

    94 GT electrical problem in rain

    Since it was so dry, make sure you drive the car a good distance and get the battery charged pretty well. Then you can do a hydrometer test on each cell to make sure that you didn't lose a cell. Glad you figured out the problem.

    Antifreeze Problem

    when it's the WP there is a weep hole that it leaks out of, near the bottom of the WP. With coolant on the top of the TC, I would lean towards a leaking hose/tstat housing/TC gasket/etc. scott

    VACUME TESTING??

    yup, quick and easy. If you cats are clogged, your exhaust will be extremely quiet on that side, or both. scott

    torque specs on rocker arm studs?

    You don't torque the rocker studs. You have to set the lifter pre-load when the cylinder is at TDC. Do a search on "adjusting rockers" and you will find tons of threads about this. There is another trick that allows you to set one cyl to TDC and adjust 8 of the 16 valves, then set another...

    Threebond 1104 better than Permatex?

    Never heard of it. But the QC guy at my shop ran eastside cycle for many years; he will know. What do you plan on using it on? Still messing with the RC cars? I will not use rtv/permatex/etc unless I cannot find a gasket for something. So many use it in conjunction w/ gaskets, which IMO, is a...

    PINGING LIKE CRAZY!!!! WTF

    My car was plagued with pinging. I did all the above remedies, plus replace the IAT/ECT sensors, etc. The only cure was to run 91 octane, or, when I got my Tweecer, richen the fuel tables some. When I did my h/c/i that cured it. I am at 14* timing w/ zero pinging. There was a layer of carbon...

    I used the neoprene (sp?) rubber gaskets with the metal core and they were worth every penny!!!!! FORGET CORK!!!!! :)

    Need help from some Computer guys...

    The drive you have in your laptop is IDE and the first drive you listed is IDE as well. The second is sata 1.5. If your laptop has both IDE and sata1.5 then either drive will work. Just make sure your laptop's sata connection isn't sata3.0. Scott
