    Crank Sensor...How to replace?

    I'm going to attempt to replace the crank sensor on my 87 GN. All indications point to it being bad. Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to do this? Do I need to change the bracket too? Thanks, Jeff

    Took the GN out this morning...died and won't start

    My 87 GN has been running great for several years without any issues. This morning I took it for a short errand. I was cruising along, no WOT runs or anything. Suddenly the car just stalled. The GN was running smooth as silk, then it just died. All the connections seemed tight. I also...

    Scanmaster AF #s with Extender

    I'm running a scanmaster 2.1, LS1 MAF sensor/translator and Extender chip. I realize with translator switch 3 off, this does not eliminate the MAF readings to the ECM to 255. I also realize that the scanmaster shows half of what the actual AF really is. My question is this. Does the...

    Drag Radials

    I've been running Nitto drag radials for years. I know BFG had them out before the Nittos. I am now noticing a bunch of different companies such as MT, M&H, Hoosier, etc. are producing drag radials. I run my DRs all the time, street and strip. I like the Nitto's because of the relatively long...

    Cam choice decision ?

    I'm about to add several upgrades and haven't fully decided on a cam. I don't really want to step up to a roller cam right now, so I've pretty much narrowed it down to 2 different hydraulic comp cams with lifters. Either a 206/206, or a 212/212. Here are the other upgrades, which will all...

    Source for roller rockers

    I'm doing some pricing on a set of 1.6 roller rockers. The T & D's are top notch, but they also command top dollar. Anyone know of other good quality rockers for a reasonable price ? (for 8 bolt heads)

    60 lb injectors ?

    Anyone tried or have opinions of the 60lb injectors that Mike Licht is selling thru full throttle speed ? I believe they work with the stock ECM. I'm also running a translator/LS1 MAF. I'm also having a new chip burned soon, so I thought this would be a good time to ditch the 868's. I will...

    Car has intermittent sputtering

    My 87 GN has been running pretty good for quite a while now. The last major mod was an SMC alky kit back in March. Made several visits to the track and all was pretty good. In May I noticed the tranny starting to slip badly on the 1-2. In June, Greg Friend checked it out and suspected a...

    Leaking on SMC kit

    I've had trouble with my spray on light coming on when the pump kicks. It wouldn't come on under boost or pressing the test button. I talked to steve about this some time ago and we determined the kit was operating fine, but I needed to adjust the screw on the bottom of the hobbs switch...

    Tranny just rebuit, Special THX to Greg Friend

    I just picked up my GN from having the tranny rebuilt. Greg Friend and I are buds from way back. He's always given me a hand with my GN whenever I've had problems or an install that I needed help on. A few months ago, my tranny started slipping on the 1-2. Greg checked it out and determined the...
