On the path to getting my car going again, wondering if anyone knows of some sources nearby to grab 5 gallon cans of methanol for my Alky kit? I know that Winners Circle in Joliet has them, I'll go there if thats all I can find, but if there is anything closer in the NW burbs I'd love to hear...

For those who don't keep an eye on the advertiser specials, there is currently a group purchase for Power Logger going on right now. Mike at Full Throttle has put together a nice discount for us! Check out the details, and don't miss out...

Not much experience with this, looking for a second opinion from someone in the know. Looks to me like possible coolant in the oil? Is there a way to test for sure?? If so, would my next step be a leak down test? Car has been sitting for a few years, and I am ready to tackle whatever it...

Just like the title says, power logger seems to be the way to go. Did some checking and looked like there was a group purchase about a year ago. Is it time for another?? Just checking to gauge interest. Who would want in??

Just like it says... Just wondering if i should have more mph?? Best run was: 60' - 1.659 4psi launch 1/8 - 7.486 @ 91.37 1/4 - 11.811 @ 112.38 mph gain in last 1/8 only 21 mph. Also in checking my ds logs I see Launch rpm 3800 before mph hits 1 1st to 2nd shift from 5550 rpm, down...

Well, I went to the track for the first time this year. Ended up with a best of 11.81 @ 112.3 w/ 1.65 60' on bfg DR. Pretty happy as this was my first time with alky at the track. (also first with pte super stock IC) Tuning was 18 deg. timing on ME, 26psi boost... o2 ~760, and egt of 1670...

Well, I just changed my oil, and it had a very slight milky appearance. Not sure if running alky might change the coloring of the oil slightly?? Anyhow wanting to be safe, I decided to do a compression test for the first time. My results were as follows (after 4 compression strokes): 1 -...

Does anyone have a couple photos of there chopped bumper reinforcements. Not Sure if I want to do this, or try to locate some aluminums, to keep the 5mph rating. Opinions, and photos welcomed!

Well, just like topic says... it arrived (and about a week earlier than expected :) ! ) It looks like a beautiful piece, finish is black like stocker, and aluminum on the shroud. Outlet is a massive 3", and up pipe is included! Only worry, and small worry at that, is if my front braces will...

I need to get a ps front filler for my 87. The old one has disintegrated. GM parts direct show that they have these, but that they need to be sent to a business address. Has anyone had one delivered to their house?? I don't see any reason why this small lightweight part needs to be sent to a...

Well, it's taken a while, but it is in!! (and looks great too I might add!!) I did not get a lot of tuning in yet, just a lil while taking the family out for some dinner!! The wife and the kids all think the car is a rocket!! With very little tuning, I'm running 25 psi, 18 degree timing...

Just got all of my parts from Julio, and it all looks top notch. I got the progressive controller, and the braided hoses. I've only got one thing I'm a little dissapointed with... I have a busy week coming up, and don't think I'll have a chance to install until after my trip to the strip...

I'm looking to fix the "one wheel peel". I've got a factory posi, figure it could use a little freshening. I tried the part # from GN/T-type.org (00231127) but gmpartsdirect won't recognize it. Can anybody help me out with the part # for the clutch pack, and if possible, the tension springs...

I had my trans built by a well known Chicagoland builder. I'm very happy with it. I was told by the builder, that it would be no problem to lock my single disc Vigilante towards the top of third gear. I am just double checking if their are any others doing this. Thanks Mike

Is there any reason not to run synthetic in a new turbo. I just changed my oil, and will do it again if I need to, but would prefer to leave the expensive stuff in if its ok.

Well, my big purchase this year was my new TE-61 purchased from HR-Parts-N-Stuff. I've bought parts from Paul before, and have been very happy with their quality. Paul also happened to be a vendor for Limit Engineering (good pricing too). It arrived 4/8, but i did not have a chance to install...

Just like it says, I have a tiny header leak (my fault from over porting) on my ps side #2 tube, right at the spacer forthe header bolt. Any reccomendations for a good job, and quick turn-around?? tia

I will be getting one of these soon. They look to be very similar. Just wondering what differences there are between the two?? I figure there must be some difference, to explain the fact that the Quarter Stick is about $70 more. Does the B&M have an inferior feel, or are you just paying for...

I finally dug into my power antenna, and see that I'll need a couple things. The cable to drive it up and down was broken, probably due to bent mast sections. I've searched the archives trying to locate some gm part #'s. All I can find is for the drive cable. I think I ought to change the...

Well, I'm getting my trans set up in a month or so, from Jimmy's. (Chicago land) I'm going with his highest stall 12" converter. (made by Neal Chance). I think its ~2800. I realize there may be a bit of lag with this set up, but plan on getting a different converter in the future. Wondering...
