I tried to catch up, but the Mustang convertible I rented couldn't keep...

    I just did something REALLY dumb on my 1987 GN - help!

    OK, while cleaning up the doors, I was cleaning the drivers side door tags and without realizing that the tags were not sealed, I unfortunately managed to wipe away much of the printed information from the tags. Fortunately, I took pictures beforehand so I at least have a really good reference...

    1987 Grand National -thinking about selling... Need advice.

    Hey guys and gals, I need some advice. I'm considering selling my 79,8xxx mile 1987 Grand National, but don't know what to ask for it. It has a clear Wisconsin title and is current. I think most of you have seen my posts of theft attempts and head gasket failure (now fixed). The theft...

    Protect-o-plate and serial #'s: do GN's have them?

    I'm not even sure what a protect-o-plate is, but do the GN's have one? Is there a place on the car where there might be a "build sheet"? Where on the car might I be able to find a serial number which would match the frame to the body, engine, etc.? Anyone who has seen my recent attempted...

    What does BLM mean?

    Sorry for asking a dumb question, but I've read posts referring to BLM's all the time, but what the heck is it? What does it measure, and what impact does it have on the engine? How is it tunable? I have a TT chip. Thanks for putting up with my mundane questions. I'm just trying to learn...

    Blew up top end I think (1987 GN)

    I think I just blew up my motor. 79,000 original mile GN motor is now something of an uncertainty. During a race with a 1970 Chevelle from a gas station "hey, wanna race" guy, I whooped his ass immediately. Through the RPM range, I popped something and oil was spewing everywhere. Oil is all...
