    Best octane pump gas in Bowling Green?

    No Sunoco station in BG. Been there and they don't have 'em. Either use alky or buy xylene while you're there and make parking lot cocktails. There's plenty of 93 available. Prices are decent right now in the area. I just passed through last weekend; 93 was $1.50-ish. Sadly, I won't be...

    Name this song..(early 80s)

    I think it is what boostcreep said, "Hot Cheri" by Danny Spanos. Probably won't find it on Kazza; too old.

    empting fuel tank via the fuel rail?

    I used the Kirban fitting. I bought it from Casper's/John Spina. I then went to an airconditioning shop and purchased a screw-on fitting that fits it perfectly for the drain connection (you'll just have to take your Kirban fitting with you and match it up, around $6, -4AN I think). Then I...

    another elstupeedo question

    About 6 years ago, you could buy the transmission from a GM dealer. They do get very brittle over time. Breaking is not uncommon.

    My engagement went down the tubes!

    I could have written the same story 22 years ago with no changes and it would have described as exactly what I went through. What does this mean? It means that after alot of beating myself up, I started dating again, being single, and just getting on with my life. Don't get me wrong, it was...

    Differential Fluid

    I used synthetic and it showed me a bunch of leaks. I had to JB Weld the dimples where the axle tubes are crimped to stop the leak. Why they became porous I have no idea. I suggest regular 75W-90 + posi lube. I used Coastal brand fluid from Autozone (2 quarts, maybe 2.25) and one 8 oz? GM...

    Friday's stupid Video ,ricer showed off a little too much .......

    D/L-ing the aftermath was really slow but they windowed it bad. The guy has a cocaine pinky nail so long it would make female toll booth attendants on the turnpike jealous.

    New job offer - Should I take it?

    Right here, right now, I'd stick around. If you have 13 years at your current job and are in charge of 3 departments, surely you have enough pull with one of your 5 bosses to get some help. You sound frustrated; still that shouldn't be reason enough to let them get you fired up to the point of...

    Found an '87 T-R in the boneyard today

    Sure would be neat to get the VIN off the frame and run a CarFax seeing as the ID has all been stripped. Might find a stolen car that way.

    My GN is not happy

    Broken motor mount? Power brake the car and let someone watch the engine. See if it's rocking back and forth on revs. If so, likely grounding the battery cable when it does.

    What's a Cobra SVT?

    I've learned a little in my few years on the planet and that is to never expect folks to change. This will be my last reply on the thread. My intention has only been to ask for peace and deflate some of the mockery from the outside communities who migrate here from time to time. Fortunately...

    What's a Cobra SVT?

    I suppose you having a little appreciation for TRs is a good thing, Bob. It's your prerogative to post here as it is for any other person who signs up. However, being that you are Administrator of www.corral.net, it is my opinion that for you particularly, it's in poor form to taunt the...

    What's a Cobra SVT?

    I'm sick of hearing about them too. Why on earth is there a preconceived notion that when a non-enthusiast comes to this board to defend Brand X cars, we are looked down upon for not respecting their vehicle of choice? Or worse, be outright told on this board that a TR is substandard? I could...

    Pls help me diagnose a problem with wife's Regal

    Only reason I say this is a lady's car died in front of our house last week. Her husband showed up a few minutes later and I went out to help. Her FP regulator line was toast and the car would start and die. It could be limped a bit but it sounds very similar to your situation. Once he...

    Pls help me diagnose a problem with wife's Regal

    Cracked vacuum line is my guess, possibly to the fuel pressure regulator. The backfire is the reason for my guess.

    That was George Wallace rolling over in his grave. Either that or he ate a bunch of cabbage right before he was buried.

    How do you keep carbon from building up around WG hole?

    Probably a silly question but I just wonder if it affects sealing?
