    Lightening a Flywheel?

    shouldn't change performance while clutch is engaged at all. easier to stall when daily driving and quicker revs when you wanna throw up a nice exhaust note at a passing stang, etc. IMO 300 bucks could easily go towards a new midpipe, set of injectors, save up for a b&g turbo hotside, etc.

    Two Suspension questions, need help!

    your battery relocation should not make the car lean at all man. did you install the springs the right way? the end of the coil should be at the 6 o clock position facing the driver's side of the car. if installed improperly rotated, it will effect ride height. i wouldn't suggest using spring...

    O god, I just did the dumbest thing on my AOD install, quick question

    sounds like it won't go in that way notch, if it were me i'd disassemble the whole thing and put them in the right way, otherwise your torque converter could come loose on the freeway leaving you stranded 6o miles from home or something

    Stupid question of the day: what exactly does advancing the timing do?

    jrichker was explaining why the computer advances timing as rpm's increase (or vacuum or centrifugal forces do it on the pre-EECIV cars) i think the original poster was asking about setting base timing though (he mentioned a timing light :shrug: )

    Charcoal canister

    isn't your car carbed? the other end of the canister should be connected to a hose that has a solenoid valve inline and then it should lead to the TB or intake manifold i think.

    How do u use a torque wrench?

    obviously the original equation given by seventy isn't one for use with perpendicular extensions, because it doesn not take into account the diameter of the extension. a 1/4 inch wide (diameter) extension would flex a lot more than a foot wide(diameter) extension anyway... :D

    How do u use a torque wrench?

    hmmm... 87gtsnake i just went and looked at mine. it also ratchets backwards and forwards. when my dad gave it to me for my birthday he told me not to turn it backwards.... maybe he meant not to try and break bolts loose with it? where it meters the torque it has an arrow pointing in the...

    hood grounded

    vristang if your previous theory is correct, then the light will still light up when the hood is closed. try opening the hood and using a jumper cable to ground the hood tot he firewall when it's open. if the light turns off, then that would lead me to believe the function of the ground strap is...

    How do u use a torque wrench?

    jimbowy- that's what txstang was talking about, but some wrenches don't go to zero. and be sure to NEVER turn counter clockwise, as this will ruin the torque wrench. good advise here people, A+
