    Aldl....which ports are for torque converter lockup??

    Can a switch be connected between the 2 ports on the ALDL and switched on when I'm on the highway, or will it fry something? I replaced my solenoid and the pressure switches and it still won't lockup on the highway. I have checked the brake switch adjustment on the brake pedal too. I'd like...

    Is it ok to install 5+ yr old valve springs

    I installed Comp springs in my 70 Z28 and their just fine. Maybe your locks were not sitting in tight.

    87 GN pings while hitting 2 red boost lights

    It was the hose off the waste gate T and the hose going to the passenger valve cover. I'll have to go to the dealers and see if they have the shaped hose, otherwise it's 3/8"OD and 1/4"ID.

    87 GN pings while hitting 2 red boost lights

    Thx, I'll use up the 15 bucks I put in the other day and go back to using 94 but I'll try Petro Canada 94. I hear too many people with new trucks experiencing engine chuging at WOT due to the increased amount of corn Sunoco is using here in Canada. I use nothing but Shell 91 with 0 ethanal on...

    87 GN pings while hitting 2 red boost lights

    This week when I took out my 87 GN and hammered on it, it started to ping bad at high RPM and both red boost lights are lit. The same thing happens if I floor it on the highway at any speed when the RPMs climb and so does the boost to dual red leds. Before it used to hit 1 red then it would...

    Rugh Idle and miss

    Have you tried adding a can of fuel injector cleaner into the gas tank. I smelt a rich condition a couple of times and fixed it with a bottle of STP FI cleaner. BTW, cheap gas stations (no name) do not have the cleaners in them.

    87 GN self adjusting rear brakes-do they work?

    Thx, To me you need more clicks than the 2 clicks Chilton specifies so the cable moves in and out of the plastic conduit with a longer travel so it doesn't bind after years of use.

    87 GN self adjusting rear brakes-do they work?

    Guys, I just finished doing the front and rear brakes on my 87 GN along with 2 new rear emerg brake cables. Do the rear brake adjusters really work when you backup? I went to an empty parking lot and did a few backups hitting the brakes lightly. How fast and how hard should you put the...

    Do you recommend knocking out the tab...

    Do you recommend knocking out the tab on the rear drums to take a feeler gauge measurement for the correct drag for cooling after doing the rear brakes or just going by how snug it is when you slide the drum on?
