    Attn central PA people...get-together info inside

    Damn, fall break starts the 15th, so I will be going home for that(Allentown). So I won't be able to make it to this one. As for Shippensburg, I really like it actually. The campus makes up pretty much of the town, but the actual town part is nice. Streets are clean, houses are clean, its...

    Attn central PA people...get-together info inside

    I go to school at Shippensburg, so I am not that far away from the area(I think). However, I will not be able to make it this weekend. Keep me informed though if you guys are going to have a meet some other time. Chris

    P/V checking ?'s/tips

    How can you be so sure? There is no way to know that. All engines are a little bit different depending on deck height, thickness of head gasket, etc. I would rather spend the extra time and make sure instead of bending a valve, having to pay for that, and having my car out of commission for a...

    P/V checking ?'s/tips

    Did you just grind the spot weld off then when you were done? That doesn't sound like a bad idea. Thanks for the help, keep it coming.

    P/V checking ?'s/tips

    Well I should hopefully be able to install my cam and heads soon. I almost have all the parts gathered. I don't want to risk anything, so I want to make sure I am checking things properly. My combo consists of e7's 1.84"/1.54" valves, dual spring w/damper, Comp cams XE270HR, and cobra 1.7...

    Typical alarm electrical schematic?

    I have an alarm on my car that I would like to take off. It is really more of a pain than it is a help. It almost always beeps and is driving me crazy. The only good thing about it is that it has keyless entry, but I can live without it. Does anyone know a typical electrical schematic for an...

    Trying my luck here...Hot starting woes...

    What kind of things can I do to prevent heat soaking the starter, without getting a new starter? Could I just get some sheet metal and create a shield for it? Does anyone ever do that? If so, what thickness steel would I need to even make a little bit of a difference?

    Explorer Intake/Heads?

    The heads and intake are definitely a good upgrade over stock. Talk to tmoss about it. He has something like 250-260hp still using the stock cam, along with a large amount of torque. I will most likely be getting an explorer intake soon for my setup. jrichker: would you happen to have a link...

    Which intake would you recommend?

    Yeah, definitely lat me know how it is when you get it running Dman. I probably won't be able to install all the parts till Thanksgiving or Christmas break. Keep me informed. Just checking, but I just got a great deal on a Holley Systemax intake with a 1" spacer. Even with the spacer it's...

    Which intake would you recommend?

    When I say future plans, I am talking like years from now when I am out of school and can afford it. So I am not really looking into the future right now. I am looking into what would be the best for what I have right now. I am really not looking into getting a holley. Too overkill. Thats why...

    Trying my luck here...Hot starting woes...

    Ok cool. My car never just can't start when hot, it just cranks real hard and slow. Runs fine then. Is this the same thing you were experiencing?

    Which intake would you recommend?

    I do plan on going used though, so hopefully I can get a good price on one of them. I am just wondering if you guys would pick one over the others.

    Are you guys talking about the coolant temp sensor for the guage that is directly screwed into the manifold, or the sensor that is in one of the black metal lines hanging above the intake?

    Which intake would you recommend?

    I do have future plans for it, but this setup is going to be on the car for a while(college budget). Plus before I went more into the engine, I planned on doing suspension. So you are saying any of them would be a good choice, just see what I can get the cheapest? Thats what I was thinking...

    Convert stock alt to 130amp?

    I have heard that there are kits to rebuild your stock alternator to get 130 amps. Is that true? If so, what company sells them, or where can I find them? I need to get a new alternator, but cannot afford a 130amp right now. Anyone have experience with these? Thanks
