    Fuel gauge acting up

    Question about Torque convertor

    Some may remember my thread last week Slow 60 ft times. Anyway my car is very slow off the line but pulls hard once it gets going. Everything checks out ok but I think it may be the convertor.

    Got out to the track

    Boosting higher after replacing intake gasket

    I had to back off my rod 2 1/2 turns to get back down to 18/19 psi. No other changes just the intake gasket (was leaking oil) Why? Maybe I fixed a few vaccum leaks? Anyone who might have input post in please. Eric

    S-10 wheel cylinders

    Just put them on today, can build about 4 pounds more boost powerbraking. Maybe it was just me but those clips are a pain in the ass! BTW I just used the stock shoes the rears are a little grabby but it seems to stop better overall.
