If you haven't resolved your power roof problems yet....I just wanted to let you know that I have a complete unit out of my car sitting in a spare room. I been meaning to try to sell it for about the last 10 years but haven't got around to it. The car had less than 9K original miles on it and...

If you guys want to race with the Lightning guys I can arrange that and I promise we are not a bunch of ass holes......well....we are....but in a nice way :biggrin: I really hope to have my turbo Lightning done by then. Dale

Generally speaking if a buick blows a gasket towards the inside of the engine (under the intake manifold) there will be a lot of coolant leakage with it. Whats the oil look like ? Dale

Brian You are the Man....sounds like a nice piece of equipment Dale

Real quick like....you may not be able to use anything other than an aluminum rod. Reason being, the shock absorbing quality of the rod. You may be stuck with a situation were you have to "drive thru" a certain amount of detonation and a steel rod won't tolerate that. IMO If you have to keep...

What is your maximum ignition advance ? Is it locked down at full advance or does it have a curve? How quick does it reach 40lbs of boost ? I'm guessing less than one second here. Is the fuel curve able to keep up with the boost response? As far as power loss on the top end....what do...

Mark You are now authorized.....:D Dale

Try Chuck at C&D machine, he has my plate. Tell him Dale sent ya. 425-821-7172 (Totem Lake) Dale

I've been told that a good rule of thumb is .0011 per inch of bearing journal diameter, (performance steel rod app).

The rod resizing opperation starts with cutting the cap or rod or both at the parting line and this is were the trouble starts. I have have seen some extremely bad work in this area and it starts with the grinding machine that they use to cut the parting line. Some of those old machines...

Todd It was tight, there's no doubt...I think it could go either way depending on how you bolted it down. If you pulled to hard on it with the manifold side screws it would probably rub. It mostly depends on how thick the spacers are also. Dale

LOL....Todd has a lot of stuff crammed under his valve covers so it took lot of work to clear everything. If you are running the standard shaft rocker and stayed with the 1.25 inch valve spring and the lift isn't over .500 I think you will be fine. Your really should check the rocker...

When you grind a custom cam you have the option of choosing lobe centers also. Hi back pressure engines dont like or need overlap so its easiest to choose a smaller exhaust lobe and then advance it. This kills two birds with one stone, you get the exhaust opening where you want it for good blow...

Gene How do you cut your hose....abbrasive saws are quick & clean but damn they make a mess inside the hose. Dale PS....It runs :D

So....before I stay up all night bidding on this thing....just how much does "fix a flat" go for these days. :eek:

The nice thing about this gas price hike is that at least they didn't jack us around with a gas shortage.....do you guys remember gas lines......I do. This time they just said FU and raised the prices, very nice of THEM. Dale

When your changing injectors, did you have a close look at the injector wiring harness. They have a habbit of rubbing thru in places. If you knocked a gasket out between the cylinders you would see that right away with a comp test. Dale

I'm not Dennis but some peaple think I look just like him :D Fuel injectors

Well.....one time when I was working on a motor for Dennis, I um....well.....I guess I won't mention that. Well there was this other time when I was working on Geno's cylinder heads and I.....um.....well lets not talk about that either. Okay how about the time I spent a week dialing in a...
