I’m selling my 86 T-type after 10 years of ownership. It was bought brand new by my Aunt and Uncle and has been stored indoors its whole life. I’ve had little time or money to put towards it recently and it has been in storage for the last 4 years so I decided to sell. I’m really hoping to sell...

Hey guys, My car has been sitting lower in the front passenger side lately and I also get a pull and a clunk sometimes while braking/steering. Upon inspection, I found the upper a-arm bushings to be toast. No rubber left at all on the back one and the front one is torn up. Seems pretty typical...

Need some opinions here. My car has had a taste for oil since the day I bought it. Here's what's going on now. If I drive the car around for 10-20 minutes (moderate driving) then park it for a short period and start it back up I get a healthy cloud of white smoke that pours out of the...

Driving around in the 90+* heat for the last week or two I notice hot air radiating from the floor after the car warms up. The heat outside is bad enough. I don't need any more inside too. In a normal functional heat system, hot coolant is restricted from the heater core by a vacuum...

After about 30 minutes or so I finally got my IAC down to 17 in park/ 27 in gear. TPS .42-4.5. Besides idling great, I was suprised at how big a difference it made in overall driving. Just thought I'd spread the joy. :D Peace.

For the past month or so I've noticed my front end has been a little "clunky." I ASSumed that I had some shot bushings somewhere in the front end. But today I finally realized that the "clunk" only happens when I hit my brakes. Are my pads getting tossed around inside the calipers possibly...

I'm going to order some valve springs today. I just wanted to know the difference between the CC980 and the CC978. My motor has 150k miles and I don't want to wipe the cam. If I read correctly, the 980's are rated 85lbs. What about the 78's? What do you guys recommend? Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has a thermometer or a way of monitoring the inlet air temperature after the intercooler and before the throttle body. If so, please explain where to get one or how you made it. Thanks.

When I replaced my turbo I made a new oil feed tube and made a new gasket for the return line with some gasket material. (I didn't have time to order one). Of course the gasket leaked. So I ordered one from Ramchargers. This one is considerably thicker. I pulled the homemade one out and cleaned...

I'm getting fed up with my PCV system. It is sucking major oil into my throttle body. The valve itself is not a Delco part (it's the "douche" brand) but it is brand new. I have a breather on the passenger side valve cover but not on the driver side. I don't have the check valve either. What...

I'm curious as to when the best time to lock up the torque converter is. I recently installed a lockup switch but haven't had the opportunity to play with it yet.

I was tuning up with the OTC scanner yesterday. I noticed my IAC was about 60-70 at idle in park. I read somewhere that IAC should be somewhere between 10-20. So I started tweaking the idle screw after the car reached closed loop mode. But this did nothing for the IAC #'s. I eventually set it...

I recently replaced my PCV valve (albeit a cheap-o brand from auto-zone) and I am constantly getting oil sucked up through the PCV tube and into the throttle body through the vacuum block. Do you guys recommend getting a check valve or would you say getting a better brand (i.e. AC Delco)...

Simple question: Which do you guys prefer: Xylene or Tolulene? and why? I hear Xylene has a higher octane rating. What do you all say? I'm getting ready to go to the track on Wednesday and I think I'm gonna mix some higher octane brew for my 100 race chip. Discuss. Tim

Hey gang, Trying to tune up my 86 TType. Tonight I replaced my PCV valve and set my idle per the instructions at gnttype.org (by the way... does anyone else find 500 +/- 50 rpm a little too LOW? stumblin' bumblin'!). So the car is purring a little better while at a stop around 675-700...

I have years of caked up oil on the front of my engine (I'm hoping it was from my leaky/bad seals on my old turbo). Now that I have replaced my turbo, I want to clean up the mess and observe for new leaks. I was just going to grab some engine cleaning foam and take my car to the car wash. Are...

Just replaced the stock center section for my turbo. Replaced the oil feed line too. Primed the pump plenty good before starting. Started up fine and everything seems quiet. No smoke or oil leaks. Let the car warm up before attempting to drive. My question: Is there a break-in period for...

I have a welding shop here in town that will weld my driver side header for about 35 bucks. Are there any tips that you all can give me about the best way to get it off the car? what kind (if any) of gasket to use when putting it back on? torque pattern? Thanks.

(Update.......) I was finally able to get through to Limit Engineering. Their new area code is 928. 928-453-7321 (Update.......) I'm trying to get ahold of John Craig at Limit Engineering via telephone. The number I was given is (ed. 520-453-7321.. typo) I get a message...

What are the best 4x10's you guys have heard? Does Infinity make 4x10?
