    Squeaky alternator, could that cause other problems?

    I assume my tensioner is going bad, but I wanted to check. My alternator is also quite squeaky. Could that cause enough resistance occasionally to make the tensioner jump? It seems somewhat logical, especially since the tensioner feels normal otherwise. It only seems to happen at or around idle...

    Hood mounted fuel pressure gauge

    Hi guys, a couple of quick questions. I'm running this gauge: To one of these: Fragola Performance Systems 231804-BL - Fragola Performance Systems Series 2000 Pro-Flow Hose Ends - Overview - SummitRacing.com The back of the gauge doesn't quite look like an AN fitting, it's much...

    Brake Switch Wiring

    Hey guys. In my confusion, it looks like I lost one of the plugs I chopped from my harness (got cruise control and brake switch mixed up... whoops). I need the plugs (with a pigtail preferably) for this connector:

    Brake Proportioning Valve connection

    Hey guys, my car was originally a PowerMaster setup and has been converted to vacuum. Is it necessary to leave the plug in for the BPV any more? It's only function is to tell if there is adequate pressure in the PM system, right? I'm just eliminating unnecessary wiring and plugs and would...

    Closing off vacuum ports

    Hey guys, I have the GBodyParts vacuum block (w/ the port for vac brakes), and I'm not using 3 of my ports, so how can I block these off without putting a screw in the end of a vac line and making it look like hell? These seemed like very small fine fittings. Any help greatly appreciated! -Dan

    Cleaning up / moving wiring, anyone done it before?

    Hi guys, I didn't know if anyone had relocated anything like the sensors around the MAP, or moving the coilpack etc away from their normal location. A friend and I are planning on doing some wiring cleanup and I wanted to see if you guys had any pictures of what you have going on now...

    Powerlogger, Scanmaster, both?

    I don't know if I'm just a little confused or what. I've been looking at getting a Powerlogger with my next paycheck; but have been unable to figure out a few small things first. The Powerlogger seems simple enough. Attach to ECM, run a laptop, log data. What confuses me is the Scanmaster...

    Transmission Fille Tube

    How much does one of these normally run? I was re-installing mine, and it had a very slight fold in it... needless to say after I was done, the thing was fully folded. Any vendors make these for reasonable prices, or is there an easy way to make one, or unfold the tube? Thanks in advance!

    jdpolzin - Great seller

    I purchased a shifter cable from him a few weeks ago, paid via paypal in the morning, and he had shipped it out by that afternoon. I received it so fast that I wasn't able to tell my fiancee to watch for any packages, so it sat on my table for a week without me realizing it was even there...

    broke86gn - great seller

    Sorry this is late! I purchased a shifter cable retainer from Josh about a month ago, he got it to me quick, and it worked perfectly. He was kind enough to put it in a padded envelope so that it wouldn't get damaged in transit. I would not hesitate to deal with Josh again. Thanks! -Daniel W

    Transmission line question

    Reinstalling my transmission lines tonight, and I've been looking to see which line is which; and can't seem to find it. I have seen that on the radiator, top goes in, bottom goes back to the transmission. But on the transmission, which line goes is the outgoing and which is incoming? I...

    Need help identifying connectors.

    My car is an '85 with an intercooled swap. The A/C system has been gutted; as such, I have quite a few connectors that don't seem to go anywhere. I also am getting no power to any interior lights (glovebox, dome lights, etc); nothing to radio, and no power to the passenger window. Any help...

    "Finished" my intercooled swap, some problems though.

    The engine is in the car, and every sensor that I can find is hooked up; but I have a large problem. The bads: -Fuel pump doesn't kick on when I turn the key to "ON", -Starter doesn't go when I turn the key to "START", The possibly related issues: -Most electronics inside the car are...

    A couple stock wire questions.

    Finishing up my intercooled swap, and I'm running into 2 issues. The alternator wire from the battery has me going :confused:. There doesn't seem a way to just run it to the alternator. Is there something I'm missing here? It's just nowhere near long enough. Doesn't appear to be cut in any...

    Motor mount issue - dropping motor in

    I (and a couple of friends) were trying to drop my motor in on Saturday, and the passenger side motor mount kept hanging up on the piece of the crossmember it attaches to; we COULD NOT get this sucker to line up (both mounts are new). Eventually, we detached it from the motor, it still wouldn't...

    Question about fuel lines - Intercooled conversion

    I'm getting ready to drop the motor back in this Saturday, and still have my hot-air lines in the car. From all the posts on doing a conversion, I've never been able to see the difference in the lines. What do the hot-air ones get in the way of with the conversion? The engine is not back at...
