    howes ball joint ?

    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.

    howes ball joint ?

    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.

    Why doesnt everyone just swap to Hydroboost?????

    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.

    Question About Oil Filter

    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.

    pump or regulator

    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...

    pump or regulator

    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...

    hid headlight question

    i did some researching. i found out that, 4300k is the brightest. any more k's and the lights get dimmer and just more blue/purple. i see that most oem's still use halogen for high beams. there is a lot of concern on beam patterns as stock halogen reflectors do not work well for hid's. i wonder...
