    Aftermarket fuel and speedo gauge install

    Thanks, but it doesnt say anything about the speedo setup, and I'm going to install the gauges right into the front facia piece, not the back cluster setup. I cant believe nobody on here has replaced their speedo with an aftermarket gauge.

    Aftermarket fuel and speedo gauge install

    Do I need anything special to install an aftermarket speedo or fuel gauge. I'm replacing all my gauges in my 85 with Autometer but I dont know if the factory stuff just plugs right in or what. Thanks, Scot Rod

    1997/1998 GT with rough idle slight miss

    The vacuum check would have shown a bad valve, but it was steady as a rock. Like I said, after the plugs were allowed to dry, it cleared right up.

    1997/1998 GT with rough idle slight miss

    One of the other techs had changed the intake about 6 months ago because the engine was overheated. I noticed some build up around the T-stat but I wasnt sure if it was from the previous job or not, that crusty white film. I did a coolant pressure check and it held. What I have noticed is...

    1997/1998 GT with rough idle slight miss

    I've got a GT conv. 4.6 from the 97/98 era, and the customer is complaining of a rough idle. It does seem to have a slight miss. Intake was recently replaced because it was overheated. Also, the vehicle received a complete tune up not too long ago. Following checks were done and it seems...

    Carb'd kick down"tv cable"

    I really dont think it matters if its a bar or cable. Its just an attaching point for the TV setup. That bracket you showed just relocated the hole so the TV setup isnt stretching which causes it to short shift and burn up the tranny. I just copied the design of the bracket you can buy at any...

    88GT vert 17x9's SMALLEST TIRE UP FRONT??

    I use to tell people all the time to just run 7/8ths spacers up front to clear the hub on conventional rotors and allow the use of the centercap on the rim. You will need to change to longer studs but its an easy task. It works fine and runs the rim flush with the body for a clean look. As...

    Carb'd kick down"tv cable"

    Dont you think if I blew my transmission, I wouldnt suggest making one?? You just trace the holes. I could just send you the dimensions, and you can make one. I reused the old cable, and then built the bracket to attach to the holley carb.

    5 lug to run tri-bars

    The 85 spindle is different than the 87+, and you will need the whole spindle from an 87+ GT, only the v8 spindles will work. And since the 87+ GT spindle is a thinner casting you will need to change the struts too unless you modify the strut bolt holes. Also, you can run longer studs and a...

    Enjoy my new movie!!

    It was kind of a rush job, but I think it came out pretty nice. I just wish I had more footage from outside of the vehicle, but I was too busy hooking up cars that I couldnt stop to film.

    I made a new movie about the fun I had in our first snow of the season. It was crazy, and we spent the day making movie by towing people. Enjoy, Scot Rod http://videos.streetfire.net/video/302f588d-6455-4044-b69b-988b0179bb40.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YztSx4SrVDI

    MS Paint Car Masterpiece, enjoy!

    I wonder how much you could get making pictures like that custom for people's real cars. I think it would be cool to see my car drawn like that.

    anyone ever used this Impact Gun.....Looking for a new one

    I have the Matco Composite, and its been awesome. Its probably the same guts as an IR. Its very light and very quiet with the longest warranty I believe, 2 years when most are 1 yr. Its removed everything I've asked it too. I think it was $280.

    Jetting and timing?

    I ran a blowthrough setup with a Torker II intake, TFS heads, X303 cam, 342 stroker, 750 Holley and D-1 Procharger and it made 516 at the wheels at less than 5000 rpms before the fuel system couldnt keep up. I since sold off the setup and I'm running a 466 with the Torker II intake again and it...
