Does anyone know of a place that sells these types of hex collar nuts? 3/8-16 They were sold as part on an electric cut-out kit, but I've lost a couple over the years. Since the studs are recessed in the cut-out, they must have threaded sleeves.

This is an unsanctioned event and is just for fun! In other words, no prizes, trophies, etc. We have not asked for a block of rooms at any hotel. We are expecting at least some cars from outside of our area and the weather should be rather pleasant! Friday, April 25, 4 PM - 9 PM, several Buick...

Assuming that I have no narrowband O2 sensor, what is the correct wiring to do the AFR tracking with an Innovative LM-1 as my wideband? LM-1 (NB out) Gen-2 ECM Red Orange Shield Purple Black...

A friend of mine transplanted an 87 engine with FAST into his classic Skylark. On the back of the A/C compressor is a round connector (roughly 12mm) that no one seems to know its purpose. Mine seems to have two black wires coming out of it. What is this thing and does anyone have the A/C wiring...

I'm not clear if the WOT Spark Adv. Window on the Gen-II Translator shows in the PowerLogger or not. When I look at WOT in PL, I see 19.8 degrees. But, I have the following set in the Gen II (and am running an Exentder Extreme Rev G) (I run E-85, so don't freak out) Spark Adv @wot (Trig) 2000...

I bought what I think is a 3-bar MAP sensor from GM today, part # 12223861 and matching pigtail 15305891. Even with my discount, they're over $150. These were to replace my "cheap" e-Bay ones. Both the old and new ones just register completely wrong in PowerLogger, including the 2.0 version...

Just a little out-of-the box thinking today, but what would happen if we sprayed a fine mist of alky in the exhaust stream? Would it create an area of low pressure and pull the heated air through the turbo faster? (Faster spool-up?) There was a recent article about electrical turbines...

[Although this isn't my Buick, it's a very similar setup] I have a pretty aggressive cam in my turbo Camaro. Most of the time, the manifold draws enough vacuum to give me power brakes, but most isn't good enough! So I installed an electric vacuum pump instead and blocked off the manifold line...

I regularly attend car shows with my Camaro friends. Once in a while, I'll take the GN instead of my Camaro, so not everyone has seen it. This past Sunday, some of my friends from Pittsburgh got to talking about how a client of theirs was the owner of the last GNX -- the very one you see signed...

Today, I decided to try to increase the boost on the GN (and pull timing via the Translator Gen 2). Shortening the wastegate rod and the RJC boost controller would not take me past 19 PSI. I even opened the exhaust cut-out, but that had no impact either. I did spin the boost controller the...

Set of 2 headers and crossover pipe. $410 shipped in continental USA. No trades. Discounts for local pickup here in Las Vegas. I am not currently interested in separating the pieces. All 3 pieces have been ceramic coated in years past. The driver's side header is from ATR. The passenger's side...

Alradco sells High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights as a replacement kit for the older style headlights. Even on low beam the brightness of the HID's far exceeds the brightness of stock headlights on high beam. For this reason others and myself recommend having tinted headlight covers. By...

I've replaced my GN's power steering pump 2x in the last week with remanufactured A1 Cardone parts. Both units are whiny like a school girl! I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong or they're just bad rebuilds; the current one at least seems to allow smooth steering whereas the...

I recently purchased Alradco's HID kit -- buying all 4 headlights. FYI, HID's are not two-stage like our outter bulbs normally are. By default the kit comes as outter lights for low-beam, inner lights for high-beam. I want to wire them so that all 4 are on for high-beam. So, on the...

It's time to replace the power steering pressure line going from the pump to the steering box. What size is the nut holding the line onto the steering box? It's just smaller than an 18mm; so is it some goofy size like 25/32" ? Any idea where to find line wrenches in those sizes; I've already...

While flipping through a magazine, I saw an ad for gauge clusters that will fit (among other things) the 80's Monte Carlo. It looks to be roughly the same size, but does anyone happen to know if they ARE the identical size? Classic Dash :: GM :: Chevrolet :: Chevelle / El Camino / Malibu /...
