    Idle and throttle stumbles

    I have an 87 GN motor I transplanted into my 91 Firebird. I pulled it out of storage about a month ago. It has been in storage for over a year now. Initially, the car ran fine at idle and on the road. It was only recently when I took it out that I noticed the idle was rougher sounding than...

    Exciter Wire Voltage

    I'm trying to track down an issue with my alternator. I checked the voltage on the alternator while it's running and it's 11.88 volts roughly. So something is obviously not running right. When I check the exciter wire on the alternator while it's running, I am only seeing around 2 volts...

    Help with a part (Alternator)

    Part store owners or auto part extraordinaire. Looking to see if this part is ever sold separate on an alternator. It's basically the bracket that bolts the alternator to the accessories bracket. I'm guessing the motor twisting from over time cracked it. Do I have to buy a whole...

    Turbo 400 or 200r4?

    Have a choice of swapping transmissions. Wondering what the pros and cons of each of these would be for a low 11 high 10 second GN would be. The rear is a Dana 60 w/ 3:55 gears.

    700r4 to a 200r4

    Thinking about swapping transmissions and going with a 200r4 instead. My question is the size. Are they a lot smaller then the 700r4? If so, I imagine I'm going to have to change my torque arm and recut my driveshaft. Any recommendations for torque arms? I have a spohn in there right now...

    Front Oil Pump Cover

    Is it common (if the downpipe is semi close to this area) for these to warp and cause oil leaks? Because mine runs down from the front of my motor (pass side under the A-arm) and we replaced the gasket and it's still leaking. Should I just replace the whole thing? It might be warped enough...

    Coolant reservoir filling up

    I use the smaller overflow unit from alkycontrol. Recently I've noticed that the more back to back runs I make, the more the little reservoir fills up. Even popped its top once. It's never done this before. Any ideas on what would cause this? Temps when driving around are 178-182...

    Just got back from racing this Audi S4 with Twin RS6's an some other work done to it. Sucker pulls hard up top! I was impressed! I let out about 18 seconds in after he started passing on me. The road we were on was not the greatest with a hill right that came up. Great race and an...

    Cleaning Off Blacktop Tar

    I had gotten some blacktop tar stuck to my rear tires last night. Couldn't get it off with a towel and water. So we headed out to a concrete road with 2Liter Mt. Dew bottles filled with water to try and burn them off. Only good video we got. We recorded more but I keep getting a "bad file"...
