Made 1 good run, died out and backfired on 2nd, had to be towed on 3rd and then wouldn't start. Coded a 41 - cam sensor system malfunction. So, what do ya figure, bad cam sensor ?

Looking at getting a 6776 BB turbo, and I can get the compressor in 3"/2", or 4"/2½". I have a stretched stock location IC w a 2½" inlet, so I'd like that compressor outlet size. However, I would then need a 4" inlet hose or pipe, and I would need to have reducers to neck down for the MAF (F...

Fitting under heat shield I may be getting a 6776 BB model. and Jack Cotton tells me that that one will fit under the std heat shield. My shield has already been trimmed to accomodate the 3" DP that Steve Kaminski built for me for my TTA. I think the PTE 54 & 63 also fit under the shield. An...

Dump out of Turbo I think I have an old piece that will do that, and I might think of selling it.

GTA wheels So, who can we get the GTA wheels and caps from ? I thought Classic used to carry them ? I put the taller spindles and 12" brakes on, but with the 3/4" wider track, the outside of the tire hits the fender lip on one side when the car bounces. The GTA's have more backspacing, so...

Jay Carter may be willing to make SS headers for our TTA's. Here is his E-Mail to me : "Hi Lynn We could make a set if you wanted. Depending on what collectors we used, the price would be anywhere from $1400-$1700 out of stainless. I might can do a little better, just depends on what...

"White vs Blue" smoke Yes, it can be water from a head gasket leak, but it can also be oil from a blown turbo center seal. Then the oil leaking around the seal can go either to the intake or exhaust side of the turbo. If it goes to the intake the oil will be combusted and turn "bluish", and...

Rod knocks Another test that says it's the rods and not the valve train - loose rods usually knock when U "let off" the throttle (~30-40 MPH). It's a medium-to-high pitched rattling, rapping sound. Once U have heard it, U won't forget it Loose Mains usually do the opposite, they knock when...

Thanks alot, Billy

I F'ed up the last Rear Main seal I did ~ 10 yrs ago by not rotating it around a little off of the cap-block surface, so I'm doing it again. Have any of you guys found any one brand of Neoprene seal to be better than the others ? Also I seem to remember in the distant past that Kenny...

My old car covers are falling apart from weather. Anyone know where to get a high quality one for a good price ? May get one for my TA also.

Hey I know alot of U guys don't have to worry about this for now, but w the new administration, I understand that they may make all of the states as rigid as CA on Smog testing. And our cars, along w the GN, have been identified as "Gross polluters", so Big Brother is watching us. I keep...

Hey guys, My old cover disappeared, and I need a new one. Some of my old covers weathered badly and fell apart. Anybody know where I can get a top quality one for the best price ?

SS T-Top center sections So, we're talking about the center support for the T-Top glasses ? So, how would they be installed - weld these pieces into the roof metal front & back ? I'm not a welder, but wouldn't we have a steel-to-stainless weld here ? I hear U have to know what Ur doing to...

Just noticed that TCI advertises a 6X 6 Spd Auto that is supposedly good for 850 + HP in April Car Craft on p.53, Does anybody know what trans case this is based on - 200, 700 or 400 ?
