    After Market Intake/exhaust Leads To "service Engine Soon" Light.

    If you have no cats you need to install MIL Eliminators for the rear o2 sensors or they will always read wrong from here on out and will always throw a code. This isn't smog legal in most states but it will get rid of the code. This shouldn't cause any performance issues once installed.

    Strange Gurgling Sound In Exhaust

    Is it possible the brick in his cat has come loose and is blocking exhaust flow in a goofy way? I've heard of this happening and causing all sorts of weird engine issues. Either that or the muffle is hosed up in a strange way. It might explain some of the issues.

    Strange Gurgling Sound In Exhaust

    Just because you understand carbs better than fuek injection doesn't make fuel injection suck. You just need to learn about the system you are working on. If the car is using a ton of gas, ie getting crappy mileage then it is probably got a serious problem with one of the systems. Have you...

    Engine Idling Issue

    Try cleaning your factory IAC and putting it back on. Use break cleaner, not carb cleaner. Don't just throw parts at a car and hope they will fix your issue, that's how you spend a lot of money for nothing. You need to diagnose the issue and replace parts intelligently.

    Abs And Trac Off Lights

    You can buy yourself a relatively cheap code reader that you can use in any car for about the price of the diagnosis fee. Never hurts to have extra tools. Not all codes trip the MIL so you might not see that you have a code thrown. Also, if the ABS light is on it should have a code you can...

    03/04 Cobra Mirrors

    You should just be able to mask the wiring off and paint the mirrors with it all in place. Just unbolted the main body of the mirror from the mount so you can get paint in everywhere and go.

    After Market Intake/exhaust Leads To "service Engine Soon" Light.

    This is likely a placebo effect. The front o2 sensors do engine management and the rear o2 sensors are only for catylist efficieny check. If the error is occurring in the fronts, they might have gone bad but if the error is from the rears, you more than likely have a catalytic issue. Did you...

    Anyone know of a correct looking 67-69 dual exhaust tip in 2.5"?????

    Edward, you should really send him a private message. If you leave your phone number on that post you are going to get a ton of spam calls.

    1999 3.8L Electrical problem (short?)

    The GEM stays awake for about 30-45 minutes. That is likely why you are seeing a large draw from that ciruit. You absolutely need a multimeter if you are going to troubleshoot this yourself.

    Non Standard 3g Alternator Upgrade?

    Noobz makes a great point. Make sure you pull the old charging system wiring or you could have yourself an electrical fire from a short. Also, clean up any damaged wiring in the harness for the same reason.

    Non Standard 3g Alternator Upgrade?

    The diagram jrichker posted should be all you need.it doesn't piggy back on anything existing as lon as you have a key on relay to use. Otherwise you do need to tie into the ignition switch for the green/red wire. I've installed several 3gs, very easy to do.

    Any 68/69 Electrical Experts?

    The 67/68 should be more closely related in terms of wiring. The 69 was a different body. What problem(s) are you having?

    '68 Convertible Suspension & Brakes Updating

    The roller perches are replacement spring perches and instead of having a rubber bushing in them that will bind, the perch rides on a set of roller bearings. They bolt to the upper control arm and the spring sits right on them.

    Wiring Harness For 66 Coupe

    Not sure on the 66. On my 67 the AC was part of the harness. I think the 65-66 had the under dash AC unit instead of it being integrated. If it has that, it might be a secondary harness. I think NPD offers a factory style harness. Painless does too and their products are good but tend to be...

    '68 Convertible Suspension & Brakes Updating

    CSRP for the front brake conversion if you want to use stock type KH 4 piston brakes and Opentracker Racing products for the spring perch. Get yourself a set of roller spring perches for sure. Opentracker strut rods aren't cheap but they are really nice for staying with stock type suspension.
