    Anyone had any luck finding 86 WH1 paint codes?

    My boss and his dad are needing to paint new bumper fillers for their WH1 they bought new. I pointed him to the spid on the trunk lid, but the WA.xxxx number is for the black. Nothing for the gray, and they are having a heck of a time matching the gray. Nothing they have found actually matches...

    OEM rear axle or aftermarket? (Pic)

    So I'm basically trying to figure out exactly what I have. I bought the car with swapped wheel studs all around (7/16). Put new rotors on the front so they are correct metric threads now. I've just been dealing with the rears being mismatched until I broke 3 of them off trying to remove my welds...

    Valve body help - Check ball locations

    I was trying to pull my valve body off to try to figure out why trans wont go into 4th gear. Valve body gasket got stuck to valve body and ripped off, forcing me to dive deeper into trans to replace the gasket.

    Advice - Prep/painting Gbody new OEM style bumper fillers

    I've got these nice new fillers from Brian still in the box taking up space in my storm shelter while my stock fillers crumble away. Realized the other day that I needed to get them on the car after having to move them around during a couple of tornado warnings. The guy I was going to have paint...

    Gbodyparts and NOS4GN

    Just like always, they both came through for me as I expected. Got the parts from Glen really quick, they were packed very well, and everything was there. Brian always answers my emails quickly and helps me out with parts. There was an miscommunication with my order and he had it fixed...

    Alradco (Peter)

    I purchased one of Peter's aluminum radiators (powdercoated black), and although I haven't installed it yet, I'm very impressed with the product and the vendor. The thing looks great, but more importantly to me, Peter's customer service was great. Great email updates, tracking info, etc. Highly...

    Scott Atk and m233roller

    Bought some parts from Scott and Mike this past week. Both got here really quick, packaged good, and were just really easy transactions. I generally don't like buying parts from individuals on here in fear of getting burned, but I knew both of these guys had really good reputations and that I...

    Caspers fuel pressure gauge with extension?

    Anyone have one of these they want to sell. My rail gauge isnt accurate anymore and I kinda want one of these to be able to tape to the windshield and compare with my transducer setup on the powerlogger. Caspers only lists the gauge on their site. Brian has one on his site but doesn't have any...

    Wiring Lonnie's Elec T-brake into brake switch, which wire?

    I'll be making a mad dash this week installing my stage 2 trans from Lonnie for the Buick-Ford Shootout next Sat. So I'm trying to get my ducks all lined up prior so I won't be wasting any time. Lonnie said I would have to wire into the brake switch so when I apply the brakes and put the car in...

    Eric/Turbotweak

    Just wanted to thank Eric for the great service and products. I ordered a 6.0 chip from him when I ordered my powerlogger. I noticed the instructions were for a 5.6 chip and checked the chip and it was also a 5.6 chip. I sent Eric an email and he had the correct 6.0 chip to me 2 days later. He...

    First Powerlogger runs - any advice?

    I posted this on the full throttle board as well but thought maybe more people would see it on here. Both of these are from the track - 1/8 mile in OK so it was probably mid 90's out. Running Razors alky knob set to 6, sunoco 104 unleaded, boost set on about 25 per my autometer gauge, Eric's...

Emailed Mark about it and he went and took pictures of the thing with...
