    Detroit TrueTrac Posi install

    I'm trying (for the first) time to DIY swap my peg leg rear end for a TrueTrac. (Not changing Ring Gear or Pinion, so I 'thought' it would be easy. HA. Boy have I got a lot to learn) So, stupid newb type question. The new unit is in the car, axles and c clips back in. The car is still...

    How to identify Drop Spindles

    My front end is lowered. Is there anyway to identify a drop spindle? Mine has no obvious markings. But can I measure it or something? The spindle has either been off the car and repainted or its not original because the paint is really good on it, and it is not rusted at all. My tires rub...

    Cold weather engine miss

    I've got an 84 hot air car, converted to 87 ECU. For a few years now I have had an odd problem that shows itself in cold weather. When the outside temp gets below 55 degrees, I get an engine miss when the engine is under load. The car will idle fine, but when you give it throttle before it is...

    Question on Heater Core replacment

    I just had to replace the Heater Core on my 84 T-type. (If you don't already know most online parts houses have the wrong part listed), But anyway, my question, is when I took the old core out, at the point where the inlet and outlet ports come out of the Heater box, there was some sort of Foam...

    WTB Red/Burgundy lighted sun visor.

    There was a thread here a few weeks ago about various parts, including sun visors for sale, however it looks like those messages are now missing. I can't remember who was selling the stuff. I am looking for a lighted sun visor in good condition. Please contact me.

    Flashing codes

    I'm not able to flash/display the SES codes when I ground the ALDL connector. With the key on, engine off, the light is illuminated, but it doesn't flash when I ground A and B together Is that indicative of any specific problem? Is there any work around for this? I was going to try to back...

    Injector Access

    My 84 is running rough. I've got spark on all cylinders. I'd like to get to the injectors and get a noid light on them, as well as maybe send them out for a cleaning. It looks like the rocket scientist that designed this thing set it up so that the turbo has to come off to get to all the fuel...

    Wiper Pulse Module replacements

    Since there are no after market alternatives for the wiper pulse(delay) control and apparently no one is repairing them either, has anyone attempted to take a pulse module from a newer car and wire it in to the GN...

    Fuel Pressure Problem

    Any ideas on this crazy problem?? Start up the car cold, Fuel pressure is 40 with Vacuum line disconnected from the FPR. Drive for 5 minutes, and car runs normally. After more than 10 minutes, the fuel pressure goes DOWN every time you give it throttle to the point it almost dies. Pinch off...

    Fuel pump never primes

    My ECM doesn't seem to ever command the 2 second pulse of the fuel pump at key on time. I've checked the fuel pressure. Its 0 at key on. The car will start up after you crank the keyfor a while. But because there is no prime, it always is a good long crank to get her started when cold. Is...

    Explain Limp Home mode

    What sensors can go bad and then be bypassed by limp home mode? For example, I know the car will run with the MAF disconnected. Does that put you in Limp Home mode for ALL sensors? Would the car run with the CAM sensor disconnected in a similar way? If so, why does Caspers sell that CAM FIX...

    Ignition questions

    I've got this Frankenstein 84 car that has some things converted to 87 like the ECU. I'm having ignition problems, and I don't know if I have an 84 coil and module , or the later 86/87 style. How do I tell the difference?? I see Kirbans sells only a coil labeled as 86/87, but on RockAuto it...

    Engine dies. Help

    On my 84 Hot air car, it will start right up, but dies within 1 or 2 seconds. I found out if I unplug the MAF, then try to start it, it starts up and runs. How do I determine if the MAF is bad, or if there is some other problem? I get 13.8 g/s from the MAF with the key on. When I try to...

    Fuel Pump Prime jumper wire routing

    I think I know the fuel pump jumper is a gray wire with a black connector in the neighborhood of the alternator, but where EXACTLY does the gray wire run??? For example, if the connector broke off, was cut, or otherwise missing, where can I intercept the wire. What harness does it go in...
