    1986 T-Type - Clean Daily Driver

    This is a strong running daily driver with cold AC, has a lot of great mods and great street manners. Looking to get about 11k or best offer as many times as that has been spent. I've owned the car since '88 and have never smoked, drank or eaten anything in the car. A great deal for the price...

    Lou Croznata I also rest my case.

    I rest my case also, I have NO way to respond to your last post; I was surprised that you felt that my personal e-mail to you requesting that we bury the hatchet was considered childish. I will continue to pursue an amicable resolution to our differences. I am looking forward to racing with...

    Is my LS1 MAF going bad??

    Car started running rough and noticed as I was nursing it home down the freeway at 2500 rpm the AF on the Scanmaster was only registering 18-22. What should the AF number be at 2500 rpm. Got no check engine light yet. Any ideas?? Thanks.

    Should I use the fiberglass rear bumper fillers

    My rear bumper fillers are shot and have almost completely disintegrated. New ones are over $250 per side but the fiberglass one is about $130 for the set. Any downsides to using the fiberglass or should I dig deep for the originals? Thanks.

    Idle fluctuates when I turn the A/C on

    My car idles fine when not running the A/C; the minute I turn it on I get surging, almost stalling and just general idle all over the place. Any ideas as to cause? Got good BLM's at idle ~123. Thanks.

    Need new chip burned if EGR not used?

    I've got GN1 heads with no EGR and someone posted recently that you should get your chip re-burned to accomodate this. Apparently, you'll get a lot of part throttle knock (as I've been struggling with) if the chip is not changed. Can anyone explain why this should be done and do I have a good...

    Carburetor size for 406 ci SBC

    I've got a '70 Vette with a 406 in it. The motor is fairly warmed over with heavily ported aluminum AFR heads, roller cam, headers and Edelbrock intake w/ 750 double-pump Holley. My question is this: if the heads are ported to flow somewhere in the neighborhood of 275 cfm per cylinder...

    Does any subscribe to HBO on Demand?

    This is not available in my area yet. I saw a documentary about 2 weeks ago about crystal meth. It is titled Crank: Made in America. This was a pretty hard-hitting documentary about several people living life addicted to meth. Wanted to show it to my daughter and her friends. If someone has HBO...

    Does this activity hurt the thrust bearing?

    My car sees only street use and I am regularly accelerating quickly and then braking quickly while making yellow lights or lane changes. Does this type of driving eventually damage the thrust bearing and eventually the crank? Reason I ask is that my previous engine went because thrust bearing...

    Killed a Lightning tonite!

    Was coming home from night class and was trying to tune my alchy for full throttle blasts. (I'm pissed that I am still getting 8 degrees KR sometimes. Probably not possible to have 21 psi with lousy 91 octane CA. gas) Anyway, I'm bummed-out sitting 3 cars back in right lane on a 3 lane at a red...

    Stupid non-TR tire question

    I have a set of Goodyear Eagle GT tires on my 70 Vette that actually have raised "yellow" letters on them. I had them mounted with these letters on the inside and now it's just a complete blackout on the outside on 15" tires. Just looks funny to me. I miss the raised white letters on the...

    Won't steer while going thru 4" water

    It's raining in Cal. today and as I was turning right onto a street and the water in the gutter was about 4" deep, I could barely turn the steering wheel while going thru the water. After getting past this "deep" water, the steering was working again. The engine did not sputter so I wasn't...
