Count me in too

Count me in. Thanks Brian

My personal opinion.......... Buy a '77-'78 400 4spd car. They are rather plentiful compared to alot of the other TA's If it has a chevy engine, don't even concider it unless there are plenty of 9 second timeslips to go with it as most TA's with chevy engines were done by idiots that blew...

They are 5 pound tanks, not 5 gallon tanks. You are probably paying for propane by the gallon and not the pound. I know mine takes about 1 gallon and my BBQ tanks take 5 gallons and I am paying $1.29 per gallon (cheapest place in town, seen it for over $2/gal). What pressure are you running...

Inspectors are like bass, they are attracted to things that are shiney........... Haven't dealt with CA, but I have had to deal with AZ emissions inspectors and as long as everything "appears stock" and it passes the sniffer, there isn't a problem. I have heard of people failing because of a...

Hmmmmm Sitting for 10 years............. If I were a hydraulic lifter sitting with a pushrod applying pressure holding a spring compressed and a valve open for 10 years, I would be applying for disability. Just an idea, but not too many people have had much luck with stock springs after...

So what exactly is the problem?? I hotwired mine with a RaceTronix kit and ended up having to solder the connector from the hotwire relay to the pump as it wasn't a good connection and the pump would ocassionally shut off or not turn on when needed. Got to be really annoying to have to climb...

Well I can say that the com 212/212 idles and drives just fine in a nearly stock engine. Haven't made it to the track with it yet though so can't tell you what it will do performance wise. Need to do the tranny before that can happen. (It's always something with my car)

35% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee. What do you expect growing up in Minnesota and living in Arizona for the last 13 years?

Just order the guides and gearbox from top-down solutions and be done with it, should run you about $78 and you will never have another problem other than maybe the finger in the switch (unless that is your only problem now). If you let the hatch bounce is when you have to reset the switch...

The damage is already done so just make a nice neat access cover for it and be done with it. I would never do it to a car that hasn't already been butched though.

Yes the FWD heads will work with the AC and everything else. They are nearly identicle with no noticable differences other than casting numbers. Now the downfall is that you will end up raising your compression to 9.27:1 with GN pistons and TTA heads. Assuming the engine you are buying...

Sorry, but I have been in a situation with the popo, adn she didn't get nearly what she deserved!!! I would have zapped her at least one more time for making such a big deal of it all after talking so much smack. "You can't radar someone when you are driving" Welcome to the 70's, the...

Definately "some thump in the trunk"!!!!!!!!

Yea they did, the display was grounding through the antenna and when you unplugged it you lost the ground. It is possible it is a problem with that model of stereo though. Some just aren't designed all that well.

As far as the leak in the MAF hose, that isn't possible. I thought about it and checked and there was a tear in the flex hose when I looked at work so I grabbed some 3" mandrel bent aluminum tubing and made a new MAF tube that I can gaurantee has no leaks. Unfortunately it didn't change a...

OK, I just got done changing the cam in the TTA as the old aftermarket lifters didn't want to lift anymore (bad backs?). I got the car running, broke in the cam, and took it for a test drive. Idles great, runs pretty good, only hit about 10psi and seems to haul buns. During the test drive...

You can adjust your sensor just like the caspers, it is like adjusting the timine on anything with a distributor, loosen the bolt at the base of the camsensor, and rotate it untill it is in the right position. Just remember to turn the crank untill it is 25* ATDC #1 comp. If you measure 1.45"...

So you can buy a crank from a competent Buick guy and not have to take it to an xxx shop to have it get messed up.

Actually the reason that converted R134 cars don't cool nearly as good as R12 cars is that the condenser needs to be much larger for R134 to work OK. It is just a much less efficient refrigerant that operates at higher pressures and temperatures, which also makes it more dangerous. Newer...
