    Flip or Remove quad shocks?

    When I got lower control arms I removed the stock quad shocks at once. The shocked were wasted though. When I took them off I tested them and they would not rebound! They would stay in the down position! So take yours off test them, if they are good "flip them". If they are bad take them off...

    Rear Main Seal Q?

    Your BIG mistake is when you said "I lubed the heck out of it with oil before putting it in". Big no no, I always put rear mains on clean and dry. Clean the surface on the block with brake cleaner and wipe the oil seal clean and supper dry before putting it on. Check the block surface for...

    B cam and 1.7 RRs...

    Grease driveshaft?

    You did use the wrong grease for the clutch components. The proper grease for the input shaft, bearing retainter, fork pivot etc is a water proof/marine type grease that is heat and water resistant. The grease feels very tacky when applied. With the regular bearing grease you used, you risk the...

    Burping, radiator cap, general cooling question

    You will get air in the cooling system whenever it is opened such as when you replaced the T STAT. Replace the cap if the seals look cracked or stretched. Air in cooling system will make engine run hotter than normal-stock operating temp is around 200 degrees After burping system use water...

    no start, 0 fuel pressure, but gas on plugs

    Just a side note: I once ran out of gas and had to put in 3-4 gallons of fuel to get it started (just how the "running out of fuel" section in my owners manual states) Oh-Check your firing order. Danny.

    Tire problem

    Sounds like you have a "radial Pull" Try putting the right rear at the left front and and the left rear at the right front to keep the same direction of tire roll which is required with radial tires. If the tires have a warranty then just have the place you bought them from deal with it.

    Where to put the grease on the TFI module when replacing

    Just making sure you use dielectric (sp) grease (type used on sprark plug boots) Its clear and stays together in high heat applications. The dialectric grease acts as a heat barrier to protect the TFI module.

    Throttle sticks / have to tap accelerator pedal

    My pedal used to stick. I notice that the injector wire loom running under the throttle body was dragging on the accelerator cable mechanism under the TB. I also noticed the return spring and the ball and socket under the TB where the cable snaps onto the TB were very dry. Lubed pivot ball and...

    Ive had the B cam in for 9 years now. The power doesn't come alive until above 3000 rpm. When I had the auto with 2 73 gears, the car was SUPER SLOW. Then i got a 5 speed and 3 73 and I finally got to feel at what rpm the B cam made the power. I have to keep the reves up high and shift FAST or...

    What brand of shorty equal length header to run??

    Get a header that has a thick flanges and you'll be golden. I've had JBA shorty headers for four years without a single leak. I even used the gaskets and bolts w/lock washers that came in the kit. The set I had before were shorty BBK headers without the flange. They warped and cracked the...

    Goodbye 3:73's

    cleanlx your probably right, but for now the gear swap is the most easiest modification I could do to get better gas mileage. Motor is super strong and clean to tear into.
