    The biggest motor I ever did see

    Last month my cousin, his 3 year old, my uncle and I went to Cool Spring, PA to the Power Museum (or Powertrain Museum, either or I'm not sure). It's mostly hit and miss stuff. About all of it is gas and oil well motors. But there on top of the hill, in a building made around it, was the...

    Camshaft Q

    Is it possible to have your camshaft in backwards? My car runs like crap. It has lots of power, but the computer will take up to 19 degrees out of the timing according to the scanmaster. My brother thinks this may be the case since my cam sensor was in backwards when I got it. It...

    Air compressor parts

    yeah I know this is an odd place to ask, but does anyone know of an air compressor parts dealer online? I was fiddling with my big air compressor that I bought with a broken flywheel. The compressor spins, but might need a rebuild. I’m looking for a rebuild kit and a new flywheel. The motor...

    Motor mounts

    Is there an easy way to change both? The driver's side seems easiest. It looks like I'd have to pull the starter and maybe the oil filter to get to the passenger side.

    4.3L diesel

    Nothing new for Regals, but it'll be new for me. I thinking of putting a 4.3L diesel into an 86 two door Regal. The car was mine, then I sold it to my brother. Now it's shown back up on my doorstep. The 3.8L is pooping, so I figure it's prime for a motor swap. The diesel I plan to get...

    TCC System

    My 99 Regal GS started acting funny the other day. The converter would lock up and disengage almost immediately. It does this at part throttle. The tranny goes through the gears alright and locks up fine initially. My buddy hooked his scan tool up and a code came back as P0742 TCC System Stuck...

    Astro van Hydroboost

    Just wondering if anyone has used a hydroboost from a Chevy Astro. I pulled the hydroboost a couple weeks ago from a junk one my friend picked up for parts. So far I've learned from my subject search is the T-type brake pedal can be used and power steering pump should be sufficient. My T-type...

    My new POS

    Well, new to me. It’s one of those rare 87 V8 T’s. My brother told me about it last week and told me that I need to pick it up. Info was a little short, but he did say it had decent interior which is buckets with a console. I stopped after work on Friday to look at it and the interior isn’t the...

    GN sighting on the Science channel

    Yeah...the Science Channel. I was watching Time "cosmic time" and they were explaining how a sound's pitch would determine whether something was coming towards you or away. To explain that the host (Michio Kaku...sp) was at LA County Drag Strip. After a few in focus shots they faded to the...

    Tps

    My car is hesitant off idle (like once the throttle is pressed there's a dead spot). My TPS was set by a friend and I assume it's still set where he put it. When the motor is stopped in the idle postion its at .45 milivolts and .46 when the motor is running. When the motor's stopped at full...

    Sputter, backfire, stalling??

    As you guys can see I'm having a few problems with my 86 T-Type. When I first got the car it would run really rough after a cold start, break up after a full throttle blast and do a little sputter at cruising speed and knock the converter out of lock-up. So I disconnected the lock-up so...

    Turbo upgrade Q's

    A little history of the car that I bought in Oct. Its an 86 T-type and it's my first Turbo car and I am basically clueless. The motor's been rebuilt. It's .020over with a **** 206/206 cam. Turbo is a rebuilt stock one and the injectors are as well. The intercooler is stock. It also has a...
