    factory timing set still available?

    Are the factory timing gears, chain, and tensioner still available? I tried to look up the parts using some part numbers I think were from GNTType org and got a "no match" on gmpartsdirect. Thanks.

    200C length vs 200-4R

    Is the 200-C transmission the same length as the 200-4R? I am planning to swap a 200-4R into an 85 Regal that now has the 200-C and want to anticipate the need to swap or shorten the driveshaft. Thanks in advance, tp

    Need factory rear sway bar, brackets/bolts

    Anyone who put in the biggie rear sway bar have a stock GN/TR one taking up space in your garage? I want one to put on the wife's NA 85 Regal. She loves the sofa-like ride, but when I drive it, the sway around corners is just too much! It borders on unsafe, and that's with a new set of shocks on...

    wtb stock balancer in good shape

    I need a good, used, stock GN/TR balancer for my engine block that's at the machine shop. I prefer not to pull the one off the engine that's in my car now (it wouldn't be driveable if I did that!) Thanks, tp

    Need 1986 TR burghundy seat & black pillar trim

    I need a great looking 1986 TR burghundy 60/40 driver's side seat cloth (bottom and seat back.) Or better yet the material from an 86 burghundy rear seat (back and bottom.) I can have that cut and sewn to cover my worn out driver's seat. The 86 TR seat material seems to be different than the...

    Kenne Bell booster plate kits wanted

    Does anyone have, or know who sells, the KB or similar oil booster plate? I would like an unused kit if possible. Or 2 if I can find them. They came with gaskets and springs. I am not looking for the longer gear kit, just the plate kit that was originally shown in the Power Source books.

    Porsche 928

    I have always liked the look of the 928 and was thinking of picking up a cheap used one, maybe for a Chevy or turboBuick swap sometime down the road if the engine goes out on it. Does anyone know of sources for fiberglass body parts for them, decent used parts (transaxle, seats, interior...

    Prompaq repair??

    I have a Prompaq chip switcher that accepts 4 TR chips, but it isn't working. I can't even tell which chip it's running on, and get the rapidly flashing check engine light when I turn the key to go to a different chip. Spent a lot of time installing it under the dash, but unable to use it at...

    Poston header crack

    I have a large crack between the rearmost two tubes on the Poston driver's side header. They have a lifetime replacement policy, but I gasket matched the ports, and would hate to look at repeating that more than once. I am posting to ask how many others have experienced this, and if there is...

    powerstroke ic pics yet?

    A while back there was a message about some guys who were cutting down the Ford ic by a couple of rows, and another one that someone was going to make bottom feed tanks like typical Buick frontmounts. Any pictures available on these yet? I've got one in the basement, but would much rather...

    more MaxEffort questions

    Here we go: Is the chip custom programmed for timing and boost levels, and the user adjusts the fueling at various points? Would the BoostCommand still control boost if it is wired in? Are the thumbwheel positions what control timing levels? This things sounds great, I'm just trying...

    check valve in SMC kit?

    I just got back my revised SMC kit. Quite a few changes. All metal fittings inside the bottle, no more clear tubing or plastic. Is there any kind of check valve in there? Would one be necessary? What size is the outlet to the braided hose? Thanks for any input.

    85 TR trans to 86 specs

    I had an 85 TR transmission rebuilt a couple of years ago with an Art Carr super-rebuild kit, 10vane pump, and hardened stator support. I had put a B&M shift kit in a few years before that. Just before the car was wrecked too badly to repair, it started taking too long to shift into 4th...reved...

    Jim Testa

    Wondering if I could get an address to order a chip? Also, did I read something a while back about an unusual cold start idle feature of his programming? Sure would want to avoid the surging I had back when the stock chip was in there (Of course that's been a while.)
