you have to use a step down hose for where the new dutt neck is. the rest use the originals. google dutt neck and you should find which hose to use.

can you post up some pics of the reworking you did on the the astro van firwall bracket.

i am not disputing mark's package, i would love to get it. but i just dont have the coin for that now. i found a good deal on some howe bj's, but if they are not the "talls" they would not be a good deal if i had to swap out the studs.

from what i have read, they are the way to go. howes cross references there part number to moog and trw, so i am thinking those part numbers are for upgraded stock type ball joints. i was going to email mark, but held for now to see if anyone here knew the answer.

i dont think hydroboost is old tech. all the newer trucks, mustangs, and other performance orientated vehicles are coming off the assembly line with it....... as a side note, what years/vehicles came with the reserve can on the side.

are the howes balljoint #'s, 22302-upper and 22420-lower, the "tall" balljoints. or do i need to get their taller stud to go with them. i drove the car for a few days after a major thaw and remembered how scary the worn out front end was!!!! i might as well throw in some better handling while i...

i was wondering about that myself. no slow leak, instant no pressure. but i didnt think that hose would give out.

oe mafs are hard to find if nonexistent. rebuilt stockers are notorious for being junk. plus lt1 is 3 inches in diameter, ls1 is 3.5, which is bigger than stock. so both allow more airflow in....

yep, self tapping and a big improvement.

as far as the ol filter goes- filters from the s-10 with the 4.3 use a longer filter that fits the 3.8. it is always better to use a bigger filter, it filters better plus you can hold more oil.

the regulator was dry. with it not holding pressure, i know there are several factors- check ball in the pump, a leak somewhere, regulator, and leaky injectors. as far as the injectors, they were replaced almost six years ago and it does start and idle fine. so i think that is out. i have no...

i replaced my driver side front floor pan with a g prix. it was an 80 g prix if i remember correctly.

got the buick going last night, put new front bearings and brakes. changed oil and fuel filter. took it out to test everything out. the car starts and idles normally. but, while driving and bringing up the boost quickly the motor misfired right away. gradually bringing it up, it started...

it will be a few months before it gets done. i wont be driving it for at least 3 more months. maybe longer, the way this winter is going.

keep the pics coming! i am waiting for my 3 boys to get older before i take her off the road to redo it. my driver rear quarter is worse than that. it made past the outer and now the inner is rooting away. my passenger rocker outer is completely gone. :frown:
