Ok my car is an 85 T-Type with an 87 drivetrain complete in it. The motor only has about 30k miles on it and just had the headgaskets replaced, along with timing chain - but i cant prove that. Anyway, the body and paint are ok, but it has some trunk-lid rust and door rust. I need money for...

So whenever I drive my car, the trunklid and bumper get covered in some oil. I looked under the car to see if it's coming from there but I don't see any (I'm thinking rear main seal or something). I figure it would be all over the muffler and the underside of the car. Could it be the oil seal...

Ok. So I was having crazy electrical problems. Or so I thought. My wiring was all hacked up (i wish I had a pic of how it looked. hideous, tons of wires going everywhere with weird connectors, just whacky). So I bought a new Casper's complete engine wiring harness and injector harness. Ok. So...

Ok, so I was having all sorts of wiring gremlins. The wiring in my car was all hacked up. So I bought a brand new complete wiring harness and injector harness from Caspers. Well now the car won't start. It has spark, we tested that. Plenty of spark. The injectors aren't being pulsed. (we...

My car has been experiencing crazy electrical problems. I have replaced every part of the ignition system - coil pack, module, plugs, wires, crank sensor, etc. You name it I replaced it. I wish I had a picture to show you guys the wiring under the hood of my car. It looks simply awful. There are...

My car is actually an '85 with '87 drivetrain in it. (i thought it was an '86 before I actually got the title hence the incorrectness in my sig). Anyway I've had a nightmare of electrical problems. Because whoever did the conversion 15 years ago (and it was done 15 years ago) didn't get a new...

I think my car hates me. I don't know why I want to be nice to it and make it faster and repaint it. But no. It hates me. :mad: So I'll start my car and it'll idle too high maybe. (I don't have a tach, I'm going by my vacuum/boost gauge and my oil pressure gauge) Then it'll fall down to 5in...

On the way home from work, a '01 GT was messing with me on the highway. Every time we'd both hit it I'd shoot ahead of him like he was standing still :eek: Then I let him hit it first a couple times. Didn't help. :D Why do GT owners think their cars are fast? I've raced supercharged GT's in the...

Argh I hate my stupid 'electronic touch climate control'. I know why they discontinued the things. They break. Mine will light up every button as you press them, but ignores you. No matter what temperature you set it at, it's set on 'freeze your nuts off' and no matter if you put it on hi, low...

I have a MAF Translator for my LS1 trans am that I have never used. Is this the same translator that is used for our TR's? Sure would be convenient for me..

I have a standard MAF, with 3" tubing. (looks like a nicely home-made bigmouth kit) So there is rubber necking down on both sides of the MAF. Think it's worth it to get a LS1 maf? (Actually for me, I'd buy a nice LS6 maf for my TA and just use the TA's maf for the t-type). Sure looks like a...

I run about 170-175 on the open highway, 150-180 around town, and it will creep up to 190-195 with the air on in hot traffic. Then immediately go back down to 180 or below as soon as I start moving again. Is this ok? I don't know when my fans are coming on and I don't know what t-stat I have...

So I'm being told by a guy who saw the receipts of the guy who built and sold me my car that the turbo on it isn't a PT52 but is some stock hybrid junk. :mad: Why can't people be honest? :mad: He says it is basically a stock turbo with a really big compressor housing on it. Looking at the turbo...

My car hates me. :mad: Here's my problems. When warm, the car will sometimes sputter away from a stoplight at barely any throttle, will sometimes sputter under boost, and will often die around right turns. It won't die around left turns, just right turns. Sometimes while going straight it will...

Boy it's one stupid problem after another for me. The 1st 15 minutes the car is on it runs fine, you can go full throttle it hauls ass, etc. As soon as the car warms up more it has totaly random sputters and breaking up. Sometimes when it goes into boost. Sometimes when it boosts past 10psi...

Ok, I've run searches on misses, and basically all the ones I find are related to the coil pack and module. I have three of each and the miss is there with all of them, one coil pack and module is brand new, so I'm sure it's not them. I've tried the combinations of different coil packs with...

Extremely weird, huh? I was driving back from lunch the other day when suddenly pop, my car shuts off. wtf? I coast to the side of the road and restart it. Starts fine. I put it in drive. It dies. I towed the car into my friend's shop and he spent a while pulling his hair out trying to figure...

How much oil pressure do you guys have, when the motor is hot, not cold. I have tons of oil pressure when it's cold. But after driving on the highway for a while, it drops to 15-20 psi and doesn't really go up much as I accelerate (kinda hard to hit it and look at my console gages). I am...

I was reading somewhere on gnttype.org that the improved fel-pro gaskets are too thick to be clamped down correctly by the stock head bolt arrangement, and are only for stage 1 (2 whatever) blocks? I'm putting them on today with arp bolts. This is ok I assume?

Well I snagged the GM scan tool from my friend's shop and hooked it up to see what my timing really is. Damn the GM tool is nice, I think I might buy one ($495), expensive but 1000x better looking than a scanmaster or something similar. Anyway, at WOT, the timing advance is 0. With this same...
