    Mr. October

    Just flipped the month on my TB.com calendar. There's my old car. I say old because I sold it last March to a guy in St. Pete. I do miss the car but after I finished doing everything I wanted to it, I just lost interest. Since then I've picked up a new Fatboy and an old 66 Mustang project...

    Non #'s Matching Car Value

    GN in perfect condition with 40,000 miles. My question is how much less is it worth without the original motor. My buddy had a bad experience with a rebuild and ended up having to change the engine. He is going to court and needs to asses a dollar amount to the car not having the #'s...

    U of P Online

    Anyone else going to college online?? I enrolled at the University of Phoenix. I'm in my third class now and have been pretty happy with it. The reason I chose online besides the usual convenience is that I really push technology where I work at the public school system and didn't want to be...

    PT51 Turbo

    I've had my 51 for a few years now. I've ran a best of 11.6 and have had the boost up to 25-26 pounds at times. I am contemplating upgrading to a GT style turbo so I would need to sell the 51. My question is, was there any resolution to the problem some were having with the wheel flying off...

    Engine temp ??

    Should the engine be brought up to 160 before racing?? That is how I've done it in the past but now I'm wondering if it should be as cool as possible. Stupid question but I want to get it right.

    Smokin Under Boost

    It's getting progressively worse. Under higher boost I am getting smoke. Light colored smoke. I figure there are three initial checks: Oil from turbo to IC, oil in radiator, water in oil. It doesn't smoke at any other time. Any input? Am I on track? If it's the turbo, I'm gonna go...

    Anybody Know Mile Hi GN??

    Sorry to cry wolf but I thought I'd get more views this way:D My 87 GN has a bad rearend problem. When I finally got to pull it out of the garage(first time I ever drove it) it was acting strange, kind of wobbly feeling. The best I can describe it is an erratic jolting in the drivetrain...

    Tech Faq

    There are a lot of times the same question is asked over and over. Sometimes someone will take the time and effort to really give a well thought out, understandable and complete answer. It would be nice to have a section for this. Let me give an example: Valve springs. If you do a search...

    Sub Woofer Makes HUGE Difference

    I've never had a system with a sub-woofer. Recently I upgraded my stereo to an Alpine head unit, Alpine 5 1/4" door speakers, Rochford Fosgate 6X9's, Pioneer 3 1/2" dash speakers and an Alpine 5 Channel amp. I wasn't happy at all with the sound. I just bought a small enclosure for a 10" sub...

    Motor in Now won't start

    I have the engine in my 87 project car and tried to fire it up. The wiring harness has been somewhat butchered so it may be the problem. The service engine light is on but the ALDL connector has been cut out for whatever reason. I am getting spark and fuel pressure is 40 pounds at the rail...

    No oil to rockers

    I primed the oil pump by packing the gears with vaseline and rotating CCW with oil from the upper oil cooler hose. The oil pan is filled to the proper level. I then used a drill CW to pump oil after hooking cooler hose back to radiator. My pressure gauge will go anywhere from 0 to 70 lbs of...
