    Progress Thread Darkfader's 93 Gt Progress - Back to work

    Iirc 94 spindles only put the hubs about .100" in per side compared to the 96+ (and about the same wider than 87-93 spindles), not really worth worrying about for the expense. My 17x9s with 245/45s fit about like yours but with a bit less sidewall budge. If its really bothering you though the...

    Progress Thread Cars alive again, but would these items move on marketplace?

    Everything ive seen on those rich porter new distributors ive seen says run far far away. Rebuilt stock ones are hit and miss too, I bought one for the 427w and it was unusable because the gear and thrust collar were waaaay far from being in the right spot. Ended up going with an msd since I...

    Progress Thread Cars alive again, but would these items move on marketplace?

    No, it's on a flash chip (or the 80s equivalent) and is not power dependant. The self learn will be wiped though so it will need to run a bit after starting it back up for it to relearn its settings.

    Build Thread My Never Ending 89 Notch Thread

    the converter hole thing is normal for aftermarket stuff. flexes are made to an 11.5" (?) pattern when it should be like 11 17/32 or something like that (1/32 or 1/16 larger, forget which) to match the factory converter.

    Build Thread My Never Ending 89 Notch Thread

    When I did mine, I took a straight edge across the bell and measured to a conveter bolt pad with the converter all the way on the input snout. On the flex side I used a dial caliper thru a bolt hole to the seperator plate. Subtract a from from b, and voila. Too much pull out and the converter...

    Wonder if it's an issue more with the sfi bell than the converter itself since the whole front of the case gets sawed off (and some of the "machinists" you run into these days shouldn't be anywhere near a hand drill let alone a mill).

    Best head/intake combo

    find a good local guy with a dyno who can burn you a chip. mail order tunes for the older non-ob2 stuff is tricky because there's not much in the way of datalogging unless you go with something like a pms or quarterhorse, and you can tune those yourself. sn's are even trickier. as far as...

    Cobra brakes frt an bk can i do half at a time?

    A cobra/sn cylinder is fine with drums. Been running that way for a decade. Even ran it withe the stock booster for a year or two, that sucked a bit but with the right booster it's awesome.

    OG rollcall

    14? Years here I think if my math is correct. Bought the white car in I think spring of 05, the blue lx that no one remembers the fall before, and I still remember showing that rust bucket off on here.

    Progress Thread Street/strip 427w In A Gt Hatch- Slow Progress

    Putting a composite gear on the dizzy, hopefully MSD's qc is better since the holley buyout. I had originally bought a rebuilt truck unit, but the endplay and gear placement were waaaaay out of spec, and the shutter was contacting the hall effect sensor. BTW, if you do this, I found out the...

    Fox Rock Auto price on steering rack correct??

    Something to keep in mind is that all those reman parts usually come out of the same place and just have different stickers on them. The expensive ones MIGHT be new as ive been seeing more and more repop parts, but the quality on them is usually even worse than a rebuilt oe. ..

    Wondering if the 373 rear gears are better for p

    Stock lifters with proper springs can be good to 7k, not a problem. And any supercharged car would (should) be tuned anyway and the limiter raised.
