    351 swap

    And make sure you get the flywheel for a 28oz balance, not the 50 oz from the newer 5.0's.

    Hood Prop Rod

    How do the struts act with the fiberglass hood. I am worried about damaging my hood. Dont have another 500.00 for a second hood.

    Hey Dartmand was that pic from State Capitol or Gulfport? One of these days I will be able to afford to bring my car to the track

    strut shaft height

    I never had a problem like that with the Tokico's. In fact I was able to torque them down with no problem the first time. Since they are three years old I just throw the impact on them now. Still no problem adjusting....except for the one that I dropped the body on when I was changing the...

    Ground getting hot?????

    I thought you were supposed to keep grounds as short as possible? That is why I was going to run two seperate grounds in the front and rear. I have subframes in so the frame is tied together.

    How do you have your grounds set-up?

    Ground getting hot?????

    I am using 1awg cable for about three feet to a panel inside of the trunk. I have another cable that I never made up to run to the frame....I guess I have to add that now. What's funny is that I never noticed this before (then again I never go grabbing the ground cable either).

    Anyone Replace their Ignition Tumbler?

    I have in my 88. Was real simple, took the steering column shrouhd off, turned the key to a certain position and remove the screw that holds it in place. No big deal, but I don't know about the 94's. Sounds like you need to make friends with a mechanic that has access to the shop manuals.

    Ground getting hot?????

    I might try adding another ground wire to the frame as well as the chassis. The battery is in the trunk and right now it is grounded to a spot in the trunk. I doubt the cables are bad though since they are only about a year old. Since it is in the trunk anyone think it could be a bad ground?

    Ground getting hot?????

    Should my ground terminal and cable get warm-hot when the car is running? If not what the hell would cause that?

    Cleaning up The Rats Nest Under the HOOD!

    Yeah I get jealous everytime I look at yours. I think my problem is the engine compartment painted black instead of the body color. One day I will change that but I dont want the car down for that long. I already need to change the brake booster, m/c, linelock, prop valve, rear discs (much...

    My spare tire well fiberglass install is finished, pics!

    How much resin did you end up using? I started mine like 2 months ago and used a gallon of resin so far, and need another gallon. I also have to deal with my battery box in the way and the roll cage.....not fun!!

    Cleaning up The Rats Nest Under the HOOD!

    Hell I went a step further than that. If you don't have cruise control, or don' t use it then punch out the grommet that has the vacuum lines inside of the fender, then push the main harness out of the firewall in the engine compartment and push it the best you can through the other hole. It is...

    strut shaft height

    NO. That is how I had mine installed the first time and it was wrong. I have Illuminas with coilovers. The ride height wouldn't adjust lower with the two spacers on the bottom. With the majority of the spacers on the bottom, the strut shaft will not be allowed to complete it's full travel and...

    strut shaft height

    What struts are you going with? With the Illuminas in my 88 I have two small spacers on top and a large one on the bottom. I could (and need to) change that to small on the bottom and two smalls on top.

    Power Window Motor

    I've also read that you should try and clean out the motor housing before replacing the brushes and springs. Because the motors hang vertically dirt and grease from the gear box falls into the area of the armature and causes bad connections. If you do need to change the brushes I have heard...
