    How can I lower my WOT shift points?

    My car at the track is shifting @6200 bouncing off the rev limiter sometimes. How do I go about lowering the shift point? I backed off the TV a click or two with that not helping. I assume it's in the govenor, yes?

    Found an '87 T-R in the boneyard today

    I went to get some spare parts for the GN (like an ign. module,coil, and crank sensor, all for $7.00. :D ) and found a dark blue regal. It was stripped pretty well. Then I noticed it had blacked-out trim which sparked my intrest. I checked for vin number on the dash and it was gone, along with...

    MAF #'s

    I just switched to the LT1 MAF and regular translator. I finally went for a blast light night just to check some numbers and only got 252 for my MAF #'s. I could never really peg my old rebuilt MAF either and thought that may have been because it wasn't calibrated correctly. This was with 23#'s...

    What else can cause no shift?

    Last night my car went from very late, to no shift at all. It would stay in first gear. I of course checked the t.v. adjustment, but this did nothing. I then dropped the pan and looked at the governor spring to make sure it was still there, and it was. All looked normal where the t.v. cable...

    '03 Lightning vs. GN

    I was on my way to N.J this morning cruising up I-95 when I come up on a new Lightning with temp. tags on it. I was going about 60 and the Ford about 50 to 55 mph. I wasn't even thinking about racing so I just cruised on past and he floors it and passes me and slows up again. This time as I...

    Dual Solenoids

    Could someone please describe the wiring and vacuum line plumbing for the dual solenoid setup? Is it basically a parallel setup with the wires tapped into to go to the 2nd solenoid and the vacuum hose teed into?

    Spark plug reading

    I believe a spark plug should have a golden brown or tan color if running properly, but mine are of a rust color. What does this indicate if anything? I've checked spark plug analysis webs but couldn't find anything on rust colored plugs. TIA

    Great source for headliner material!

    Believe it or not, Joanne Fabrics. I go in with a sample expecting to be shot down, ask the sales lady if they have any of this (showing the sample), and she says "headliner material downstairs". I go downstairs and the have the grey and 4 other colors. Black, blue, maroon, and tan. It's an...

    alternator pulsating

    Can anyone advise me which part in the aternator needs replacing when it pulsates. At night all my lights will pulsate in accordance with RPM's, slower at low RPM's and faster with higher RPM's. I'm thinking regulator but want to be sure. TIA

    2 for 1

    On my way back tonight from looking at my new '66 Coronet I just bought, (no I'm not a mopar fan, but the miles so low and the price so right I had to buy it) a yellow healthy sounding S-10 pick-up blows by me in my GN. He was probably doing 75 to my 50, so I did my best to catch up to him...
