    Interior Lamp Socket?

    Was the ash tray light on a car without a console. They just scotch locked the extension to go to the shift indicator light at the factory. Might look hacked but that is factory. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    TR-6 On Twin Turbo

    I just seem to have more people come up to me and ask why I took the V8 out of the car. Many people think I'm nuts when I say they never made a GN with a 8 cylinder. I might not know everything, but I grew up in a buick only household and have been around my car since 94 so I have more knowledge...

    Black paint code

    WA848 is the old single stage number. Straight black, no extras. New number is U8555 for base/clear. I just did my doors and can say the Sherwin Williams turned out a bit brown compared to the original fenders and quarters. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Ac question..

    Do you hear a vacuum leak from behind the radio? Common for the vacuum mode switch to break and leak. The doors default to the defog/floor position. Same as if there was no vacuum getting to the switch. Vacuum ball should have been in the left front fender under the charcoal canister, accessible...

    Weatherstrip Woes

    I just installed new Goodmark doors on my car this week. I purchased the roof seals 4 years ago and only installed the driver side at that time. I can't remember who made that, possibly Metro, possibly Soffseal. The door gaskets are Soffseal. My main problem with the roof seals is that they are...

    Starter Issues?

    Just a heads up before trying a neutral safety switch, our cars don't have one. It's a mechanical stop built into the column that won't allow the key to turn in gears other than park and neutral. The switch on the column is a reverse light switch. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    2017 Lincoln Turbo V6 'The New Going Fast With Class'

    It's nice having something like this to drive around in for the comfort, but comparing it to the GN/T is not quite the same. In the 80's, the performance cars were 15 second cars. The Regals did the same or better. Yes with mods they easily did 13, 12, and 11's. The difference is today the same...

    Rear brake cylinders

    I believe they are 7/8" from a manual brake S-10. Anything from 82-87 should work for an application. Prefer bonded but riveted is fine. Be careful on panic stops, as mentioned plenty of times before, they will lock up prematurely. Had it happen. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    got an android tablet

    Hey Bob, just got my car back out yesterday and wanted to give the Bluetooth another shot. Followed 2 of your videos on YouTube to update the gauge, but still no go. Gauge connects to the phone, but still says "no response from ECU". This is a new phone Samsung S9+, but have tried S5, S7, and...

    NY New Window Tint Law

    Actually, it is part of the inspection that says that they have to be checked for DOT compliance and if can't be closed to see the DOT marking on the bottom they fail. Came through as a message from the state that inoperable windows fail for that reason. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    NY New Window Tint Law

    You are correct, 35% on driver and passenger windows. all others don't get checked. There have been a couple updates to the regulations since the original January 1st change. I personally don't even check them unless it looks to be a shady customer. I can't fail for a ball joint that will...

    Timing chain & gears

    I pulled my original last year with 48k and it was fine. No cracks yet but replaced with a TA billet link chain from Nick so I could use the tensioner. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Timing chain & gears

    From the pictures (hard to tell) it looks like a roller chain. The stock chain will look like a 5 pieces of flat metal sandwiched together without tubular pieces. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Ride height and Alignment

    Lowering the front will change the alignment, mostly the camber will change and a little caster. The top of the tire will tip inward, that will increase the negative toe causing inside edge wear. As to if the alignment should be tweaked, not necessarily the specs tweaked, but adjusted back...

    o2 sensor location?

    Kirbans open house is Saturday. It's a hike from Carlisle, around 2 hours I think. But worth the drive if you are in the neighborhood. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    2018 Dodge Demon

    Gotta give credit where credit is due. Insane for a production car. I'm sure there will be a few around my area when they come out. Will be cool to see on the street instead of the screen. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    How did you get to mid-low 11s?

    I run stock long block with stock cam, springs only, limit ta-49 on alky, stock intercooler. I have a boxed frame with braces and boxed control arms with rubber bushings and body mounts. Stock springs, no bags, and bilstein shocks all 4 corners. With Husek 3021 converter I ran a 1.67 60'...
