If you're in Orange County, you must have the Smog Basin Special inspection routine. So, how do you get past it with an '87 chip? Out here in the...
I just found this old forum from 2006 where some actual engineers really get into the hub-centric versus lug-centric issue:...
And I forgot, it's not just mounting/centering, there's also the issue of loading. You hear that the hub is meant to take the loading, not the...
Wastegate solenoid arrived today. Interesting find, too: brand spanking new in a really old "Delco" box. Thanks!
I looked for hub-centric rings. There's actually a company that specializes in those (I forget their name). Not even that company had any that...
Oops, I just noticed the part about LS1 brakes. Heh. Just to clear up some of MY confusion at the expense of YOUR thread.... The stock setup on...
Surprised you haven't had any response. But then, I don't have one either. I've been looking at this issue, but more to do with wheels, not yet to...
The wastegate solenoid, shipped to 96019 please. Thanks.
Depends what you mean by "dynamic" ha-ha. Their design goal was always to make the little V6 behave like a stock showroom 350 V8 in normal...
I wonder at what point the compression is so high, that enough more heat is being generated, that the cooling advantage from the ethanol is lost...
Well, look at it this way .... If the people who live here are fools, when they finally do leave they will be .... fools somewhere else!...
That's very interesting. Certainly a different approach. Thanks! (Seems it's buried away in the "Specials" section. I was looking under the...
You can cruise around smugly looking down your nose at all the fools who live here! :(
Here in California, that year is NEVER. The boys passed a law revoking that provision several years ago. Anything 1976 and later is now subject...
Hmm, which are you talking about? The only thing I see listed at gbodyparts is a panel that deletes the heater as well as the A/C, leaving no...
That's true. The only gain in space is from the other A/C junk, not the box itself. Which is not insubstantial, but still....
You mean heater-only, or A/C? The heater-only box has a heat shield, or is supposed to, in about the same location relative to the motor. But the...
I'm still trying to piece together info about the carb-era pistons. That 82 looks like it has the "smile" cutout below the pin, just like the NA...
Alright, I finally figured out what you guys have been talking about! It seems that in Sept 2002 the state passed AB 2637, which moved San...
For the "old" test (two-speed idle), HC is ppm (parts per million) and CO is % (parts per hundred). For the dyno test, the limits are gpm (grams...
