    Will it pass NYS Emissions?

    Heh heh.... I suppose. I thank you for the argument. It helps me to think everything thru!!! But I have thought about it for some time now. The testing is not a scam really, it is focused 99% on emissions. The rest of the test is done and you get a pass or fail (safety) by the...

    Will it pass NYS Emissions?

    You are not following me here.... They want to pass the cars if you work with them, they just gotta go thru the motions to get the car past the sniffer. The major penalty is around the cats. They can't test anything without them. The shops are not total nazis. Eg. - I got the sticker for...

    Will it pass NYS Emissions?

    Oh, I hear you now. The EFI is something that I can get by with visually, bacause that is the least inspected. They must have a camera verifying that there are cats, they don't actually zoom into the motor to see there are injectors and ****. So I can fab an emissions air box to throw over...

    Will it pass NYS Emissions?

    NYS-Weschester County requires the dyno run and sniffer, plus a visual. I can get around the visual easily enough as far as EFI. That is not out of my way. What is would be tuning the car to run lean enough to pass. Also they datalink to the ECU port. Westchester is similar to CA...

    Will it pass NYS Emissions?

    True... but we can get around that issue. Emissions wise it will pass, don't you think? I can change the visual of the carb, fabbing something to confuse the mechanics testing it won't be hard. Out

    What did you do with ur map pockets and area?

    I tore those bull**** pockets out and replaced that area with a simple cover of matt black fabric (black int). Stapled it down tightly and screwed the whole panel into the door at a few points getting rid of those useless clips that are also stock. I'll post pics tomorrow if I remember...

    Exhaust Leak... Ooooooh no!

    I found that there was actually a bolt missing on the head... Dur... last one on the header near the firewall. Gotta love such BS. Got all the rusty SOB's outta there. I am off to get new rotors, pads, header bolts at the speed shop, and some gasket maker. OUT

    Exhaust Leak... Ooooooh no!

    Big deal right... Okay, I got the leak around the header-head gasket on one side of the pots. Wondering if sealing it on a 5 Liter would make a heck of a diofference in power. The bolts are on there pretty solid thanks to oxidizing of the metal - rust. The gaskets on that side are like...

    AOD : OD is not working... tranny done?

    All right, the tranny has like 120k miles on it. Mostly harrassed by a stock 5.0 with just and exhuast and a K&N filter. The overdrive is not engaging, any shot that this might be reparable other than a full tear down??? Would a flush help anything??? Thx! OUT

    Tremec... Best place to purchase?

    I am thinking of the Tremec to hold the power from my crate motor. I plan to drive this car a good amount on the street, and want the extra confidence of more tranny strength. With that said... where is the best place to order a Tremec from??? Thx Pat
